History

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 Levels
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.

Starting in Super Mario World, Mario's can turn in the air after performing a Spring Jump.
Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3
In Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3, Spring Jumps act exactly like in Super Mario World, though they can only be performed in the World-e levels Ice Dungeon and Vexing Doors, as those are the only stages featuring Trampolines.

In Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2, Spring Jumps are performed by Ground Pounding the Trampoline.
