In some situations, there will be Spring Stars that will throw Mario up to a higher Star Ring, so he can use that to go to another planet; in other situations, the Spring Stars will bounce Mario to other nearby planets instead of farther away ones.

Spring Stars look a bit like Star Rings, but with less sharp edges and a much smaller size. They do not have the orbs at their five ends like a Star Ring, so they are not resembled to a Sherrif's badge like their larger counterparts.

There is a giant planet-sized Spring Star visible in the distance in one of the gameplay footages from a trailer of Super Mario Galaxy; its use is not known.
