The Spring Jump being demonstrated inMario vs. Donkey Kong

ASpring Jump is a move inMario vs. Donkey Kong and itsremake for the Nintendo Switch. In this game, ifMario lands on aSpring, he only bounces slightly. If the player presses just as Mario lands on a spring he instead does a high bounce from the spring. This can be used to reach high platforms and collect items. WhenMini-Marios are trying to reach Mario and walk into a spring, they automatically jump onto the spring and perform the Spring Jump.

Many other games in theSuper Mario franchise have Trampolines that bounce the player up a short distance by default but can be made to bounce the player higher through taking a specific action. However, none of these have been called a Spring Jump directly. This includes similar actions from the predecessor toMario vs. Donkey Kong,Donkey Kong for theGame Boy, and the further games of theMario vs. Donkey Kong series.Donkey Kong Jr. does name its version of doing a high jump off a trampoline, as either "Super High Jump" or "Super Jump", depending on the version.^[1][2]
