- This article is about retracting springs that bounce users. For the game named after the season, see Spring Breeze.
A Spring is an object that first appeared in [[Kirby Super Star|Template:KSS KFP]], 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.
Springs are similar in function to Trampolines, but are usually distinct in appearance and not directly part of the stage geometry, unlike trampolines.
Game appearances

This section is incomplete. You can help WiKirby by expanding it. got started on this, but there are probably more games with springs in them than this |
Template:KSS KFP / Kirby Super Star Ultra
Springs make their first appearance in [[Kirby Super Star|Template:KSS KFP]]. 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.
Template:KCC KPP
In [[Kirby: Canvas Curse|Template:KCC KPP]], 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).
Template:KRtDL KAW
While springs do not exist as regular stage elements in [[Kirby's Return to Dream Land|Template:KRtDL KAW]], there is a giant spring that can be found in one of the stages 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.
Template:KatRC KatRP
[[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|Template:KatRC KatRP]].]] Springs make an appearance in [[Kirby and the Rainbow Curse|Template:KatRC KatRP]] as normal course elements. They behave similarly to they way they do in Template:KCC KPP, though they are generally smaller with a red base instead of the jack-in-the-box like design in the aforementioned title.
Notably, when bouncing off of these, Kirby smiles and waves his arms, indicating he is having fun.
