Line 6:
In short, mushrooms in video games can be used as trampolines and springboards, as game designers extrapolate the spongy texture of most mushrooms to those of mattresses and conclude it can be a reasonable substitute in the wild. An [[Acceptable Break From Reality]].
There are some non-video game examples, more so in Western Animation. They may be homages to video games, such as in ''Sonic'' adaptations.
{{examples}}
== Video Games ==
* The [[Trope Namer]] is the Springy Spores level from ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''.
* There are some mushrooms to bounce on in ''[[Ratchet & Clank]][[Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One|: All 4 One]]''.
Line 25 ⟶ 28:
* The Flash game ''[http://jayisgames.com/games/nelly/ Nelly]''.
* The blue mushrooms in ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' are particularly springy, launching the players into new sections of the level either in the background plane, or many screen heights above.
* ''Songbird Symphony'' features these throughout the game. Birb can use them to access higher platforms or backtrack if he gets stuck.
=== Western Animation ===
* One early episode of ''[[Dragon Tales]]'' had the dragons showing Emmy and Max a patch of mushrooms where you can bounce on them, and they play music. They're equivalent to trampolines. Ord and Max manage to tap out "Shave and a Haircut".
