Item Info[]
The spring is quite simply that, a spring. If you jump on it it will propel you higher up into the air than you could normally reach. This spring in particular hails from the game Donkey Kong Jr. where Donkey Kong Jr. would use it to help him free his father Donkey Kong from Mario. Springs, or trampolines, would later become a common occurrence in Mario games helping Mario new heights and hidden secrets. Sometimes Mario can even pick them up and carry them!
Item Usage[]
The Spring works pretty much exactly how you would expect it to. If you jump on it you can get higher up into the air. It can also be picked up and thrown at other fighters and depending on what part of the spring hits them it will either damage them or knock them backwards. If someone is in the middle of an attack when they jump on the spring the attack will be canceled as they get bounced off of it. If someone in the air lands on a spring it will count as hitting the ground and restore their mid-air jumps as well as saving them from falling helplessly in the air in a state of freefall.
