In Super Mario Odyssey, the Hat Trampoline is a flower-like object inspired by the Spindrift from Super Mario 64. Striking it with Cappy or a Ground Pound causes its flower to open and launches Mario into the air, spinning, and gently twirl back to the ground. It is a discrete, unique object in Super Mario Odyssey.

The subject of this article behaves nothing like a Hat Trampoline. Jumping on this object simply launches Mario skyward in a jump. Objects like this are not even unique to the Cascade Kingdom - the majority of kingdoms have an iteration of this type of object matched to its topography, like a beach parasol or a mushroom. The only thing unique about "it" is how high it launches a captured T-Rex, which is not even an attribute of the object itself. Its the only kingdom where a captured T-Rex could even access something like this.

We have a page for launching, platformy objects in the Super Mario games - the trampoline article. I think the contents here would be more appropriate there, and less conceptually confusing. It seems most reasonable to assume the Prima Games authors referred to this object as a "hat trampoline" in error. They are not the same.

I offer two options:

  1. Merge Hat trampoline (Cascade Kingdom) with Trampoline.
  2. Keep them separate.

Merge with Trampoline[edit]

  1. Nintendo101 (talk) Per proposal.
  2. Zaku (talk) Per proposal.
  3. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) - Yeeeeeeeeah, don't know how this tarp managed to be named that.
  4. MegaBowser64 (talk) IT'S A HAT!!! Not. Per all of yall collectively
  5. Camwoodstock (talk) Per proposal. Unless someone's managed to wear this thing as a fashion statement, we think this should probably just get merged to the standard trampoline article.
  6. SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA) (talk) Yes. Plus Hat Trampolines ARE NOT HATS!!!!
  7. Arend (talk) My only concern is that Trampoline has only covered the springboard-ish types so far, and not ever the more traditional taut sheets of fabric like this one is. Otherwise, though... yeah, this isn't a trampoline shaped like a hat, nor is it activated by the hat throw like the other Hat Trampolines in the game, since it's already active 24/7 (and only one of them is hidden under a rock you need the T-Rex for).
  8. Archivist Toadette (talk) Maybe somewhere later down the line we can actually split out the Trampolines from the generic springs, but as for now, I support as the creator of this article.
  9. EvieMaybe (talk) per tramproposaline

Keep them separated[edit]
