Jump Transporters,[1] also known as Jump Boards[2] or springs,[3] are a type of block that appears in Virtual Boy Wario Land. They appear as cylindrical blocks with an animated arrow pattern in the front. When Wario stands on one, he turns backwards or forwards to face the opposite layer. By jumping while standing on it, Wario jumps towards the other layer.
Some Jump Transporters appear hidden inside breakable blocks, requiring Wario to destroy the blocks to reveal them. Whenever a Guard is defeated, the Empty Block it rests on transforms into a Jump Transporter, allowing Wario to jump towards the boss arena. Jump Transporters appear in every stage in the game, except for Stage 3.
