This is an extremely confusing article, and inacurate. This should be split; the Spring is called a Springboard I believe. HyperToad

Irony

It says that the springs were in Donkey Kong, but on the trophy information, it says they are jacks. Now how Ironic is that. MisterJaffffey G0 Trampoline

Trampoline?

I'm not familiar with the Super Smash Bros. series, but do we really need two separate articles about this and Trampoline? Time Questions 07:02, 14 December 2008 (EST)

I don't see the point of having seperate articles for them either; They're pretty much the exact same thing. I say merge. My Bloody Valentine

Agree, the game even tells that Springs originate from Donkey Kong Jr., it's just another name for Trampolines. The same goes for Magic Vines and Beanstalks, they should be merged as well. --Grandy02 10:04, 14 December 2008 (EST)

Or Trampoline is another name for Spring. (That is, trampoline should be merged to this article). -- Son of Suns (talk)

You know, you guys like to say stuff you never do. Hello, I'm Time Turner.

Jack

Aren't the "springs" in the original Donkey Kong actually jacks? Not only the Brawl trophy says that. In the manual for Donkey Kong Classics (and probably also in the manual for the NES Donkey Kong) they are called jacks. --Grandy02 12:42, 24 January 2010 (EST)

The manual does refer to them as jacks, but I also found it referring to it as a springboard.

*HIGH JUMP (SECOND ROUND)
A well-timed press of the "A" button will allow you to jump all the way to the moving island using the springboard.

Do you suggest the articles be split? --Garlic Man (talk)

Yes, I do. What you cited refers to Donkey Kong Jr., which is indeed the debut of the spring(board). --Grandy02 13:06, 24 January 2010 (EST)

@Pokemon Trainer Mario: They don't have to be two different things. They have related effects thats all. Kaptain K. Rool

Why does the top of this article say, "Not to be confused with Trampoline"? It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 23:44, 3 March 2011 (EST)

Those "not to be confused" messages are a bit like informal versions of {{articleabout}}, but it's best to use the actual template, so I replaced it here. Either way, the point of the message to make sure people find the page they are actually looking for even if they inadvertently search for the wrong term or if someone else linked them to the wrong page. - Walkazo 13:15, 4 March 2011 (EST)
