A Bouncy Cloud from New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Bouncy Clouds are cloud platforms that appear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, New Super Mario Bros. U, and New Super Luigi U. Anything that lands on them bounces very high, including enemies. Their appearance is reminiscent of Cloud Blocks, as both are white fluffy clouds featuring a smiling face in the middle.

A similar type of cloud known as the jump-over cloud appears in Super Paper Mario, where they are only found in The Overthere.
