==History==
===''Super Mario Galaxy''===
Spring Topmen appear as uncommon enemies in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and its [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Super Mario Galaxy (Nintendo Switch)|port]]. Like [[Spiky Topman|Spiky Topmen]], they charge at [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) while spinning rapidly, causing him to get knocked away dizzily if they hit him, but getting knocked away themselves if he [[spin]]s against them. Their upper half juts up on a spring and blinks orange when one is stunned by being hit with a [[jump]] or a spin, allowing Mario to bounce extra high off them and gently spin downwards, like with [[Spindrift]]s from ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Unlike most other enemies in the game, Spring Topmen respawn if defeated, specifically by reappearing from a small black circle resembling a [[black hole]]; the only way for them to be defeated in the first place is to be spun into an [[electric rail]].

A Spring Topman first appears in the [[Buoy Base Galaxy]], near the area with the [[Water Shooter]]s after Mario spins a [[valve]] to turn the Water Shooters off. A similar robot known as a [[Sentry Garage]] appears atop the tower, and it can spawn [[Topmini]]s. Spring Topmen later appear as part of the [[Dreadnought Galaxy]]'s Topman Tribe; one here can spawn a Topmini if [[stomp]]ed on.

===''Super Mario Galaxy 2''===
Spring Topmen are also enemies in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' and its Nintendo Switch [[Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Nintendo Switch)|port]]. They are encountered only in the [[Space Storm Galaxy]].
