Spring Vaults are enemies in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. They are stationary and fire lasers in a circular shockwave formation, damaging Mario or Luigi on contact. Spring Vaults are indestructible, but they can be stunned by either being jumped on or from being hit by a [[Star Bit]]. If Mario or Luigi jumps on top of a Spring Vault twice, the spring beneath its head becomes exposed and it can be used as a [[trampoline|springboard]]. Spring Vaults have a [[Pulse Beam|counterpart with spikes and a golden frame]] that cannot be jumped on but otherwise has their general behavior patterns. Spring Vaults are first encountered in [[Flipswitch Galaxy]] in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', where one guards the [[Power Star]], deactivating and acting as a spring once Mario activates all 18 [[Flipswitch Panel]]s. They also appear in the [[Battlerock Galaxy]] and the [[Dreadnought Galaxy]].

Spring Vaults[1][2] are enemies introduced in Super Mario Galaxy. They hide in the ground with only their upper halves visible until approached, at which point they usually start attacking. Their main attack involves them sending circular lasers in the area around them, but their heads can be jumped on and used as a spring, allowing Mario or Luigi to reach areas he otherwise would not be able to reach, similarly to the Sentry Garage and Spring Topmen.

History[edit]

Super Mario Galaxy[edit]

Spring Vaults are enemies in Super Mario Galaxy, being the first members of the Pulse Beam family that can be encountered, and are commonly seen in areas inhabited by Topmen. They are stationary and fire lasers in a circular shockwave formation when approached, damaging Mario or Luigi on contact. Spring Vaults are indestructible, but they can be stunned by either being jumped on or from being hit by a Star Bit. If Mario or Luigi jumps on top of a Spring Vault twice, the spring beneath its head becomes exposed and it can be used as a springboard. Spring Vaults are first encountered in the Flipswitch Galaxy, where one guards the Power Star, deactivating and acting as a spring once Mario activates all 18 Flipswitch Panels. Some in the Dreadnought Galaxy have already been deactivated by the time they are reached, and as such, they are solely used for jumping.

Appearances[edit]

Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]

Only one Spring Vault appears in Super Mario Galaxy 2 as an enemy. It is located in the Space Storm Galaxy, and it behaves identically to the Spring Vaults in the previous game.
