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 {{s|armsinstitute|Kosuke Yabuki}}. As his name implies, his design is themed around springs, such as his ARMS being extendable springs and his [[armsinstitute:Spring Stadium|stadium]]. Spring Man is the newest contestant to join the {{s|armsinstitute|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.

Spring Man is an [[Assist Trophy]] in ''Ultimate''. He attacks his opponents using the Toaster ARMS, and has large range. After taking enough damage, he can attack with a {{s|armsinstitute|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.

Spring Man is seen in Min Min's Final Smash, [[ARMS Rush]], and unleashes a flurry of punches alongside other characters from ''ARMS''.

Spring Man appears on the screen in background of [[Spring Stadium]]. He also appeared 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.

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.

*With his debut on June 2017, Spring Man is the newest Assist Trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.

**Of these, Spring Man is the only Assist Trophy.

*Spring Man and [[Waluigi]] are the only Assist Trophies in ''Ultimate'' to use an English voice actor in all regions. However, because Waluigi's voices clips are only in grunts, Spring Man is the only Assist Trophy to speak English in all regions. This is accurate to ''ARMS'', where Spring Man only speaks one language across all versions of the game.

**If Assist Trophies that were cut from ''Ultimate'' are counted, [[Kat & Ana]] share these distinctions as well.

*Even though Spring Man became part of a universe with a playable character in version 8.0.0, the Assist Trophy menu in [[Training]] still lists him with the first-party Assist Trophies without a playable representative.
