'''Spring Mario''' is one of [[Mario]]'s forms in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. In both games, He is able to transform into it by collecting a [[Spring Mushroom]]. In ''Super Mario Galaxy'', the form first appears in the [[Toy Time Galaxy]], and later in [[Matter Splatter Galaxy]] and [[Beach Bowl Galaxy]] (only in the [[Purple Coin]] mission "[[Beachcombing for Purple Coins]]"). As Spring Mario, Mario is able to jump higher but cannot run or [[spin]]. Instead, he perpetually bounces off the ground, making him harder to control and more prone to falling off edges or into hazardous places. Using this form, Mario is able to bounce very high to reach hidden items and areas by pressing {{button|wii|A}} upon touching the ground. He is also granted the ability to climb very steep inclines in a slinky-like fashion, and retains his [[Ground Pound]] as well, although the ground-pound will not stop him from bouncing, with the plumber immediately bouncing upon striking the ground. If Mario takes damage, touches water, or enters a [[Launch Star]] or [[Sling Star]], the form is lost.
'''Spring Mario''' is a new form in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', that Mario first finds in the [[Toy Time Galaxy]]. In this form he is able to jump higher, and is no longer able to run. Instead he will simply bounce around the level. Using this new Item, Mario is able to bounce very high to reach items hidden in the air. This ability also grants Mario the power to climb very steep inclines in a slinky-like fashion. Mario would lose his form if he takes damage, or lands on a [[Launch Star]] or a [[Sling Star]]. In Super Mario Galaxy 2, the Spring Mushroom makes one appearance in the [[Chompworks Galaxy]].

Spring Mario is one of Mario's forms in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. In both games, He is able to transform into it by collecting a Spring Mushroom. In Super Mario Galaxy, the form first appears in the Toy Time Galaxy, and later in Matter Splatter Galaxy and Beach Bowl Galaxy (only in the Purple Coin mission "Beachcombing for Purple Coins"). As Spring Mario, Mario is able to jump higher but cannot run or spin. Instead, he perpetually bounces off the ground, making him harder to control and more prone to falling off edges or into hazardous places. Using this form, Mario is able to bounce very high to reach hidden items and areas by pressing A Button upon touching the ground. He is also granted the ability to climb very steep inclines in a slinky-like fashion, and retains his Ground Pound as well, although the ground-pound will not stop him from bouncing, with the plumber immediately bouncing upon striking the ground. If Mario takes damage, touches water, or enters a Launch Star or Sling Star, the form is lost.

In Super Mario Galaxy 2, the Spring Mario form returns, behaving the same as it does in the previous game and making its only appearance in the "Spring into the Chompworks" mission of Chompworks Galaxy.

Many of the locations Spring Mario is intended to be used can be circumnavigated via sequences of Somersaults, Wall Jumps, and spins (although using Spring Mario is recommended due to the latter strategy being more difficult); in fact, it is possible to collect every Power Star (including Green Stars) in Super Mario Galaxy 2 without once making use of Spring Mario.

In Wario Land II, Wario Land 3 and Wario Land 4, Wario possesses a similar form known as Bouncy Wario.
