Spring Platforms[1] are devices found in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. They are composed of a broad wooden platform sustained by two large springs underneath, and they float on water with pneumatic cushions. Spring Platforms are usable as both a platform and a trampoline, and performing a Ground Pound onto the platform compresses the springs underneath, removing two side clamps that hold the platform in place, and consequently bounce the characters high up. This allows them to access normally out-of-reach areas and items or grab on to climbing grass on the ceiling. Spring Platforms are encountered in Mangrove Cove and Shipwreck Shore. Near the end of the latter level, there is a particular Spring Platform that begins rafting on the water once ground-pounded.
