''[[Super Mario 64]]'' is the first game Mario can ground-pound in, | ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' is the first game Mario can ground-pound in, also returning in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. The move is activated by pressing the crouch button while in midair. Ground-pounding can activate [[Blue Coin Block]]s, reduce damage taken from falling from high above, and defeating enemies. In the [[Bob-omb Battlefield]] mission [[Behind Chain Chomp's Gate]], one crucial step to obtaining the [[Power Star]] is by pounding the [[stump]] holding the [[Chain Chomp]]'s leash in place until it has sunken into the ground entirely. Using the attack is required to defeat the [[Whomp King]] in [[Whomp's Fortress]], by doing it a total of three times, each time after he slams onto the ground. In [[Hazy Maze Cave]], the player character can pound [[Dorrie]]'s back to make his head go down. Two pillars in the basement of the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]] have to be pounded to drain the moat and get access to [[The Secret Under the Moat|Vanish Cap Under the Moat]]. In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', the Pound the Ground attack can be used when Mario uses the [[Power Flower (Super Mario 64 DS)|Power Flower]] to become [[Balloon Mario]] by using the crouch button to cancel the effect. Wario's Pound the Ground attack lets him smash objects with twice the strength of others, while Yoshi's lets him smash only stumps and Blue Coin Blocks. | ||
