Entangled Spring Glitch

The **Entangled Spring Glitch** is a glitch that allows a spring to interact with an object even though they are not physically touching in a way similar to Quantum Entanglement.

## Activating the Glitch

This glitch is activated by grabbing a spring while it is in a state of bouncing an object. It is normally not possible to grab a spring while it is bouncing something, however, by forcing it to bounce something multiple times without giving it time to decompress, it is possible to confuse the game whether or not the spring can be grabbed. Once it is grabbed, the spring will retain its state, but won't appear any different than when it is not pressed.

## Mechanics Affected

### Object Interaction

When the spring is released it will finish decompressing and the original object will be bounced upwards. The reason for this is that the object is still in the state of getting bounced (it will stand still on conveyors belts), but when the spring decompresses, the original object is able to finish bouncing. This will not work if the object changes states after grabbing the spring (bouncing, bumped by a shellmet, etc) or is respawned.

### Spring Jump

If Mario jumps on the spring while it is decompressing, it is possible to confuse the game into not letting Mario bounce off it.

## Techniques

### Midair Spring Spin Jump

Through the use of the Spring Spin Jump, it is possible to use the spring as it decompresses to retain a Spin Jump.

## Deactivating the Glitch

This glitch will be de-activated if Mario drops or throws the spring.
