'''Spring Poles'''<ref>''[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/switch/auzpa/products/relation.html Super Mario 3D World + Fury World Perfect Guide]''. ''Kadokawa''. 2021. [[:File:SM3DW+FW Perfect Guide p438.jpg|p. 438]].</ref> are tall blue springs topped by an orange sphere that appear in the ''Bowser's Fury'' campaign of ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. They function similarly to [[Pole (bollard)|Poles]] and [[Volbonan]]s when [[Mario]] [[capture]]s them in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', allowing him to propel himself forwards a great distance. By climbing the blue spring of the Spring Pole to reach the top, Mario will perform a [[handstand]], similarly to when he climbs [[pole]]s and [[tree]]s. From the top, the player can pull {{button|ns|leftstick}} backwards, and aim with it and {{button|ns|rightstick}}. When {{button|ns|leftstick}} is released, Mario will be sent flying forwards, and once he touches the ground, he will automatically [[dash]] for a short amount of time. While {{button|ns|leftstick}} is pulled back, the player can press {{button|ns|B}} to cancel the action and allow Mario to fall to the ground without being flinged.

Most Spring Poles are placed consecutively to help reach a [[Cat Shine]]. To complete the mission "Gazing over the Falls", Mario must fling between four Spring Poles to reach an island in the sky. To complete "Toad Brigade: Cuddly Castaway", he must fling between three Spring Poles (with an optional one to the side housing a [[Super Bell]] in a [[Bubble]]) to reach and rescue [[Banktoad]]. Additionally, one Spring Pole is placed near the Ruins [[Giga Bell]], one is on the floating island where the "Gazing Down at the Islands" Cat Shine is collected, and two consecutive Spring Poles are placed to the northeast of [[Clawswipe Colosseum]]. Two Spring Poles are also on top of Clawswipe Colosseum, and can be used to collect the final [[Cat Shine Shard]] of the island and complete its "Five Cat Shine Shards" mission.

Spring Poles can also appear on top of every [[Lighthouse (Bowser's Fury)|lighthouse]] across Lake Lapcat. By collecting the five Cat Shines of an island, a Spring Pole will appear atop the island's lighthouse and raise a golden flag that has cat ears and Mario's [[emblem]] on it. These flags resemble those of [[Goal Pole]]s and [[Checkpoint Flag]]s.

[[Boomerang Mario]] or [[Fire Mario]] can throw a [[boomerang]] or [[fireball]], respectively, at a Spring Pole to make it sway back and forth for a brief moment; the amount it sways is dependent on whether the projectile hits the Spring Pole's base, center, or top.
