Spring Man (スプリングマン , Spring Man) is a character and playable fighter in the Nintendo Switch game ARMS.
Origin
Spring Man is one of the playable fighters in ARMS. He was one of the first characters revealed for the game and is its mascot, though not truly the central protagonist according to producer Kosuke Yabuki. As his name implies, his design is themed around springs, such as his ARMS being extendable springs and his stadium. Spring Man is the newest contestant to join the Grand Prix, which he dreams to be the champion of. In the ARMS world, this Spring Man is the third fighter to earn the title in sponsorship with the Spring Gym, and his immediate predecessor appears in the graphic novel series.
The Toaster ARM is a basic ARM in ARMS, and is one of Spring Man's default ARMS. It functions as a standard boxing glove, but gains Fire properties when charged.
Rush is a mechanic in ARMS which allows a fighter to unleash rapid punches to deal large amounts of damage. In order to use a Rush, a fighter must first fill their Rush Gauge, which can be done through various means, primarily by dealing and taking damage.
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
As an Assist Trophy
| “ | Spring Man jumps and dashes around the stage while using his stretchy arms to punch, punch, punch—just like he does in the ARMS game. In a pinch, he can unleash his powerful rush attack to pummel the opponent! | ” |
| —Super Smash Blog, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Official Site | ||
Spring Man is an Assist Trophy in Ultimate. He attacks his opponents using the Toaster ARMS, and has large range. One of his attacks is a Rush, a flurry of punches which can potentially KO opponents. He is also one of several Assist Trophies with the ability to air dodge, which has a similar animation to his aerial dash that can be used to evade attacks in ARMS. He can be KO'd to earn a point. He uses recycled voice clips from ARMS as well.
As a background character
Spring Man appears in Min Min's reveal trailer where he is first seen knocking out Byte & Barq on Spring Stadium and cheering himself on his victory. He then spots the Smash invitation letter and excitedly grabs it, only to be knocked out by Ribbon Girl before the invitation is ultimately claimed by Min Min. Finally, he cameos in her Final Smash, ARMS Rush, and unleashes a flurry of punches alongside the entire base roster of ARMS.
As a costume
Spring Man's outfit can be equipped for Mii Brawlers.
Spirit
Spring Man's Primary Spirit is an Ace Neutral type. When equipped, the player gets increased fist attack strength. He can be fought in World of Light or in the ARMS DLC Spirit Board if the player purchased Min Min, where his puppet fighter is a Mii Brawler wearing his costume. The Brawler has increased punch and elbow strike power, as well as increased jump power.
