The move is introduced in Super Mario Bros., where it is used on jumping boards to jump over large gaps and walls.
Super Mario Bros.: The Lost LevelsEdit
In Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, a successful Spring Jump on a Super Spring, a stronger version of the jumping board, causes Mario or Luigi to jump so high that they cannot be seen on-screen. World 7-3 and World C-3 make extensive use of this mechanic.
