Trampoline (disambiguation)

Trampolines are objects with various uses in the Mario series. In Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, they are very powerful Bros. Items that require the availability of all four Bros. in order to be used. Each Bro. jumps onto the trampoline, then bounces high up, farther than even the top screen. Then the Bros. come down in random order and stomp on the foe, and if timed correctly, jump back onto the trampoline for a second (third, fourth etc.) jump. If the timing is missed, he will knock the trampoline away, ending the assault after the other three have fallen.

Other Games
Trampolines have appeared in many other Mario games. Their first appearance was in Super Mario Bros. They were used to jump to higher places in the game. With the proper button pressing of the A button, you will be able to go high in the air! They have also appeared in many other games, Super Mario World (where they were called Jumping Boards), New Super Mario Bros., Paper Mario series, and many other games. In Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels there was a certain type of trampoline that allowed Mario to stay in the air for a while. In Paper Mario a Jack-in-the-Box acted as a trampoline.

Appearances in Other Media
A Trampoline plays an important role in the Club Nintendo comic "Mario will hoch hinaus". Trying to impress Princess Peach, Mario uses one which pushes him extremely high. Even several hours later he is still not coming down.
