Long Springs,[1][2][3] also known as Horizontal Springs,[4] are objects that appear in Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!, Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars, and Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge. They are yellow-colored springs with a rounded top, and act as the counterpart to High Springs.

In Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!, they are known as Horizontal Springs, and are introduced in Area 2-1 of Jumpy Jungle. They function similarly to Blue Springs in Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!. If a Mini approaches a Long Spring, it automatically jumps on it and bounces in a forward arc, allowing it to reach ledges above and in front of it. However, unlike Blue Springs, Long Springs are resource objects that can be picked up and placed in other locations, and they always remain in place until picked up.

Long Springs reappear in Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars, where they are introduced in Level 2-1 of Jumpy Jungle, as well as in Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge, where they are introduced in Level 4. They function exactly the same as in Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!.
