- Not to be confused with Jack, a springboard-like object featured in 75m in Donkey Kong and its various reissues.
Trampolines, also known as springs, Jumping Boards and Springboards (alternatively springboards or Spring Boards), is an item introduced in a game of the Donkey Kong series, Donkey Kong Jr., before debuting in the Mario franchise with Super Mario Bros..
When a player's character bounces on a Springboard, the player can press a button with the precise timing to give their character a boost in their jump height.
In Donkey Kong Jr.[]
In the second level Jump Board Scene, there is a single Jump Board around the bottom-left of the area. Its sprite is pink in the arcade version but blue for the Nintendo Entertainment System version.
In Super Mario series[]
Super Mario Bros.[]
The sprites for Springboard show both their boards red. The first level in which a Springboard appears is World 2-1. While Mario or Luigi are bouncing on a springboard, the player can press the jump button around the precise time when either character lands on a Springboard to have them perform a heightened jump.
Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels[]
Regular Springboards return from Super Mario Bros., using the same sprites and retaining its functionality. Aside from this, Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels also introduces a variant named the Super Spring that, when jumped on, allows Mario or Luigi to remain in the sky even longer, for more than five seconds.
Super Mario World[]
Certain Springboards come out from Question Blocks, and Mario or Luigi can now pick one up. A Springboard can also be placed on its side.
Super Mario Sunshine[]
Springboards are found in Noki Bay. They shrink upon touching water, and Mario is able to carry them around, allowing him to reach various high areas.
Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3[]
Springboards appear in two levels of World-e, Ice Dungeon and Vexing Doors. They have the same role as in Super Mario World, also retaining their appearance, but the sideways ones do not appear.
New Super Mario Bros. series[]
Springboards appear in New Super Mario Bros. and its sequels, having the same role as in previous 2D entries of the Super Mario series.
Super Mario Galaxy[]
Springboards are designed to be large, round, and orange. They also depict a Ground Pound symbol on the upper board, meaning that if Mario or Luigi performs a Ground Pound on it, they are launched extra high. Springboards can no longer be carried around.
Super Mario Galaxy 2[]
The same Springboards from Super Mario Galaxy make a reappearance. There is also a functionally similar light-blue, square-shaped springboard depicting footprints, indicating that it can launch Mario or Luigi extra high if jumped on, as opposed to being Ground Pounded.
There are three drums in Cloudy Court Galaxy with a different design, but they still function the same as the orange Springboards.
Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury[]
Springboard enemies named Hop-Chops make their first appearance. Certain Hop-Chops become functional Springboards if the player's character defeats it, but several merely break apart.
As objects, Springboards work the same as in the Super Mario series. Additionally, they have their function from Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 in which Ground Pounding it launches the player's character extra high. After a while, the Springboard becomes a Hop-Chop again.
There is another type of Springboard, the Jump Panel, which has the ability to launch the player to distant heights.
Super Mario Maker series[]
Both vertical and horizontal Springboards can be placed as objects in Super Mario Maker, Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS, and Super Mario Maker 2. Mario can bounce on vertically-positioned Springboards like before, but certain objects like Bill Blasters can now also do this. Uniquely, horizontally-positioned Springboards can bounce back objects that hit them. Vertically-facing Springboards can be carried by Mario in any style except Super Mario Bros., in which he cannot carry objects in general, but SMB2 Mario is able to carry horizontally-positioned Springboards.
In Super Mario Maker only, the Trampoline is one of the costumes usable by Mario.
Super Mario Run[]
A Springboard is now colored yellow on the top and bottom and blue within the inner potion. There is a red arrow running across the bottom and inner layers. The player can activate a Trampoline by tapping when their character runs across its surface, launching the character upward.
Super Mario Odyssey[]
Four Springboards appear in the Cascade Kingdom. The first one can be accessed by capturing the T-Rex and having it destroy the nearby stone walls. Another Springboards is located near the Crazy Cap shop, close to "Our First Power Moon." The remaining two trampolines are found in the Dinosaur Nest area; one of them is at the ground level where the "Dinosaur Nest: Big Cleanup!" Power Moon is found, and the other is further below, and using it is required to obtain the "Dinosaur Nest: Running Wild!" Power Moon.
A type of Springboard, the Hat Trampoline makes its first appearance. After being opened by Cappy, Mario can stop on the Hat Trampoline to be propelled into air spinning, just like when jumping on Spindrifts in Super Mario 64. More indirect functional equivalents to Springboards also appear, such as awnings and taxis, since they can bounce Mario upward.
In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars[]
There are two types of trampolines: warp trampolines, which allow the party to escape to the world map, and smile trampolines, which allow the party to exit an area and enter a neighboring location.

In Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time[]
Trampolines are a Bros. Item that require the availability of Mario, Luigi, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi. When using the Trampoline, each brother jumps up and lands on the enemy in a random order. If a brother manages to perform a Timed Hit, they return on the Trampoline to perform another jump. If timed poorly, the Trampoline is kicked away, and the attack ends after all four brothers fall.
Trampolines can be bought at certain Item Shops for 120 coins.
