A '''Spring''' is an object that first appeared in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', and has made only a few appearances since. Its appearance varies by game, but generally, it consists of a coiled metal spring with a pad on top that is used to bounce to higher areas, typically with greater force than a regular [[Jump]] could provide. While these are typically placed in stages to help the user move about more freely, springs can sometimes serve as obstacles to be avoided as well, as they may be placed in a way that causes the user to lose progress should they accidentally step on them. | |||

=== ''Kirby's Pinball Land'' === | |||
=== '' | {{main|Springboard}} | ||
In ''[[Kirby's Pinball Land]]'', if Kirby falls into the gutter at the bottom of any given course, he will have an opportunity to bounce back up using a springboard, similar to the [[Goal Game]] from ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]''. Each time he has to use this, the springboard becomes smaller and weaker, until it can no longer bounce Kirby back up, and he loses a life. | |||

In ''[[Kirby | In the "Ball Rally" mini-game for ''[[Kirby's Toy Box]]'', a spring is used to launch balls through the board. | ||

[[File:KSS Garden screenshot 13.png|thumb|150px|Kirby runs into a set of springs in ''Kirby Super Star''.]] | |||
Springs make their first appearance as a regular obstacle in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''. Here, they are compact yellow-padded objects about the size of [[Kirby]] which can be found resting on floors in various places. If Kirby or another playable character touches a spring, they will be launched upward very quickly and very high. Springs cannot be inhaled, or otherwise destroyed. They also cannot be activated by enemies or other objects. | |||

[[File:KCC Plant Plain 8.png|thumb|150px|Kirby launching from a spring in ''Kirby: Canvas Curse''.]] | |||
In ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]'', springs can appear in stages as regular obstacles to be utilized and/or contended with. Here, they have a more compact structure at first, though they expand to noticeable length when activated. These can be useful for giving Kirby the extra lift he needs, as he cannot naturally jump in this game (due to having no limbs). | |||
=== ''Kirby's Epic Yarn'' / ''Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn'' === | |||
{{main|Boinger}} | |||
In ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]'' and ''[[Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn]]'', there is a type of enemy that resides exclusively in the [[Cloud Palace]] stage called [[Boinger]], which Kirby can bounce off of to gain additional height. Kirby's feet also turn into a spring momentarily when performing his regular jump. | |||
Other stages, such as [[Mushroom Run]], feature course obstacles that behave like springs, namely the eponymous mushrooms in that stage. | |||
=== ''Kirby Mass Attack'' === | |||
There are several objects in ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]'' which resemble springs and/or act like springs when used. Often, a certain number of Kirbys will be needed to utilize these objects, which can help break through barriers to obtain things like [[Medal]]s. | |||
=== ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' / ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' === | |||
While springs do not exist as regular stage elements in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', there is a giant spring that can be found in [[Nutty Noon - Stage 4|Stage 4]] of [[Nutty Noon]] with the [[Grand Hammer]] ability. Smashing this spring down with the hammer causes it to contract, then unwind, launching Kirby in a manner similar to a [[Cannon]]. | |||

=== ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'' === | |||
{{main|Springy Hand}} | |||
While not existing as course elements on their own, [[Springy Hand]]s appear in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'' as hazards. These same hands would also make an appearance in ''[[Kirby Fighters Deluxe]]'' and ''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]''. | |||
=== ''Kirby and the Rainbow Curse'' === | |||
[[File:KatRC The Adventure Begins screenshot 05.png|thumb|200px|Kirby using a bed of springs in [[The Adventure Begins]], in ''[[Kirby and the Rainbow Curse]]''.]] | |||
Springs make an appearance in ''[[Kirby and the Rainbow Curse]]'' as normal course elements. They behave similarly to they way they do in ''Kirby: Canvas Curse'', though they are generally smaller with a red base instead of the jack-in-the-box like design in the aforementioned title. | |||

=== ''Kirby: Planet Robobot'' === | |||
{{main|Spring Note}} | |||
No regular springs appear in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', but [[Spring Note]]s appear as hazards in the [[Rhythm Route]] level, similar to the Springy Hands from ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''. | |||
=== ''Kirby Star Allies'' === | |||
{{main|Goal Game}} | |||
In the [[Goal Game]] of ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', [[Popon]] acts as a substitute for a spring for the platform that Kirby and his buddies jump from. | |||
=== ''Kirby's Dream Buffet'' === | |||
[[File:KDB Spring screenshot.png|thumb|150px|Kirby bouncing up a fried egg spring in the [[Hamburgers]] stage in ''Kirby's Dream Buffet''.]] | |||
In ''[[Kirby's Dream Buffet]]'', springs take the form of giant sunny-side up fried eggs, which act similarly to [[Super Jump Ramp]]s in ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]''. They can be found in the [[Hamburgers]] and [[Sandwiches]] courses. | |||
