The [['''Spring Jump]]''' is an ability in video games that sends your character rocketing straight upwards, and is much more powerful than ordinary [[Jump Physics]], giving your character the power to leap tall obstacles [[In a Single Bound]]. It may require a special item or only be available at certain places in the level architecture (such as [[Springs Springs Everywhere|springboards]] and [[Spring Coil|Spring Coils]]s), or some other limiter that makes it less available than [[Jump Physics]] (which it does not imply the availability of, though some degree of air control is required).
 
See also [[Goomba Springboard]] and [[Vent Physics]].
Line 36:
** Jumping flowers in ''[[Ratchet and Clank Size Matters|Size Matters]]''.
* There were blocks that acted like the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' springboards in the first ''[[Wario Land]]'' game, and the Spring Wario power up, which turned Wario into a spring worked kinda like this.
* ''[[Wario World]]'' has bunny-shaped springs that boost Wario up when [[Ground Pound|Ground Pounded]]ed.
* Most of the [[Metroidvania]] ''[[Castlevania]]'' entries have a powerup which allows you to do this. Infinitely.
* A literal version where ''[[Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man]]'s'' [[Robot Dog]] companion Rush has his "Rush [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Coil]]" ability, present in all games since his debut in ''3'', but removed in favor of some [[Powered Armor]] in ''6''.

* ''[[Vangers]]''' mechos have a built-in [[Spring Jump]] (which ''is'' called a spring). Smaller mechos can literally jump a couple of screens away.
