Want to have incredible jumping powers without having any superpowers in the first place? Why, look no further than wearing the good old spring coil. In fiction, the spring coil is a guaranteed way to reach high places, among other things such as a powerful attack or pushing back enemies. A Rubber Man may be able to reshape himself into a spring coil. Sometimes part of Tricked-Out Shoes. Often accompanied by a notable Stock Sound Effects from string instruments. See also Springs, Springs Everywhere for when springs are part of the background, Spring Jump, and Hopping Machine. |

Donkey Kong Country Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest features Rattly the Rattlesnake, an animal buddy that's a permanently coiled-up snake. It moves around by bouncing in short hops, can jump very high as a normal jump, and with a charged-up leap, it can reach even higher. Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! has the Re-Koil enemy, an orange crocodile who bounces on his springy tail, not unlike Tigger. |

The Bouncy enemy from the Kirby series moves around by bouncing on its spring. A similar enemy named Boinger appears in Kirby's Epic Yarn, which are Helpful Mooks whose bounciness causes Spring Jumps when the player character lands on it. | |

In the first Commander Keen game, Marooned on Mars, you can only jump normally until you find the pogo stick. Then you can "jump" while on the pogo stick to jump really high, at the cost of horizontal mobility. You get to keep the pogo stick in future games. | |

The Pokémon Spoink has this as its tail. Taken further in its Pokédex entry, in that the bouncing regulates its heartbeat. In other words, if it doesn't keep bouncing all the time, it will die. Its evolution Grumpig has one as its tail as well. | |
