{{Quote|Yoshi will 'Pound The Ground'. This has many uses, and it rocks!|Hint Block|Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island}}

The '''Ground Pound''' is an ability that has affected the ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' series dramatically, along with moves such as the [[Wall Jump]] and [[Spin Jump]]. The move is usually executed by [[crouch]]ing in midair, but is sometimes used by pressing the jump button twice instead (this is usually in mini-game applications, such as in the ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' games). When used, the character will slam their rear on the ground, which can cause many results.

The move can break or activate blocks from above, the opposite effect of a normal [[Jump]]. It is sometimes the only way to defeat an enemy or complete a task, and is usually more powerful than a regular jump. The Ground Pound is a common move that almost any character can use, even [[Boo]], [[Dry Bones]], and [[Birdo]].

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Bros. 3====
[[Image:1st_ground_pound.PNG|frame|right|Bowser Ground Pounding in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.]]
The move was first introduced in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' by [[Bowser]]. This version was different from later versions, as Bowser will look toward the screen when he ground pounds. Later versions have it where the character is facing in the same direction through the whole move. This move was what the [[Bowser#Bowser Bomb|Bowser Bomb]], a move able to be performed by [[Bowser]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', was based on.

====''Super Mario 64====
[[Image:Mario64groundpound.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Mario Ground Pounding in ''Super Mario 64''.]]
In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', the Ground Pound move is activated by pressing the {{button|n64|Z}} button (normally used to crouch) while in mid-air. The Ground Pound does serve some functions in this game, such as activating [[Blue Coin Block]]s, reducing damage taken from severe drops if used close to the ground (sometimes completely nullifying the damage) and defeating enemies. It can also be used to make a quick landing while flying with the [[Wing Cap]].

Mario also uses this move in the [[Bob-omb Battlefield]] level in the episode "[[Bob-omb Battlefield#Star 6: Behind Chain Chomp's Gate|Behind Chain Chomp's Gate]]," where he must Ground Pound the small wooden peg holding the [[Chain Chomp]]'s leash in place in order to free it and claim the [[Power Star]]. 

It is used once again in [[Whomp's Fortress]], where the player must Ground Pound [[King Whomp]]'s back once he slams onto the ground in a total of three times in order to defeat him.

====''Super Mario Sunshine====
The use of the Ground Pound is greatly expanded in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. One of its main uses involves using it to flip small circular [[Manhole]] covers that appear in both [[Delfino Plaza]] and [[Ricco Harbor]]. This allows [[Mario]] to access secret underground tunnels which often have [[Blue Coins]] or [[1-Up Mushroom]]s hidden within them.

The Ground Pound is also used as a means of collecting [[Shine Sprite]]s. For example, Mario must Ground Pound a small stone wheel located on top of the lighthouse in Delfino Plaza in order to release the Shine Sprite hidden there. However, a normal Ground Pound will not have any effect. He must therefore first use the [[Rocket Nozzle]] to blast himself into the air, and then do a Ground Pound. This will result in an extra powerful Ground Pound, which is strong enough to break the stone wheel apart.

This move is also used to defeat certain bosses. For example, in "[[Bianco Hills#Episode 1: The Road to the Big Windmill|The Road to the Big Windmill]]" and "[[Bianco Hills#Episode 5:Petey Piranha Strikes Back|Petey Piranha Strikes Back]]," the player must Ground Pound [[Petey Piranha]]'s engorged belly after spraying water into his mouth three times to defeat him. In addition, it is also used in Episode 3 of [[Gelato Beach]], "[[Gelato Beach#Episode 3: Wiggler Ahoy! Full Steam Ahead!|Wiggler Ahoy! Full Steam Ahead!]]," when Mario must battle [[Wiggler]]. After spraying the [[Dune Bud]]s, causing Wiggler to flip onto his back, he must Ground Pound specific segments of his body three consecutive times in order to defeat him. It is also used in the level just before this episode, "[[Gelato Beach#Episode 2: Mirror Madness! Tilt, Slam, Bam!|Mirror Madness! Tilt, Slam, Bam!]]," where the player must use it to fling the [[Plungelo]]s off of the large mirrors near the [[Shine Tower]].

Finally, the Ground Pound plays a major role during the final boss battle with [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]] in [[Corona Mountain]]. Mario must again use the Rocket Nozzle to blast himself into the air, and then Ground Pound five separate ends of the large slime-filled hot tub Bowser is sitting in, eventually resulting in the entire hot tub tipping over, and Bowser being defeated.  

It can also be used to break apart large square watermelons (often found in secret levels) when they block the way or to pound large nails into the ground.

The Ground Pound can also be used to prevent Mario from taking a considerable amount of damage due to a fall from a great height if used shortly before he hits the ground.

====''New Super Mario Bros.====
The Ground Pound makes several appearances in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''. When the player presses down on the D-Pad when in mid-air, the player will perform a Ground Pound. Ground Pounds can be used to break [[Brick Block]]s or repeatedly earn coins from [[Coin Block]]s (by holding the down button on the D-Pad), but [[Small Mario]] cannot break them or earn the coins repeatedly (Mario must keep doing Ground Pounds instead of holding down).

At the World 5 Castle, the player will fight [[Petey Piranha]], who will perform an angled Ground Pound after flying in the air for a few seconds. Once Petey Piranha touches the ground, he will become dizzy and fall down, giving Mario or Luigi a chance to stomp him.

In addition, Ground Pounds deal double damage on enemies and bosses. They can immediately send [[Koopa Troopa]]s in their shells and start sliding really fast, or to make [[Snailicorn]]s to slide across the ice. However, the double damage effect was removed on bosses in the [[New Super Mario Bros Wii|sequel]] (possibly due to the fact it made the game too easy).

If Mario is [[Mini Mario]], then Ground Pounds are required to deal damage, but the damage would only be equal of a regular jump. Ground Pounds must be used as Mini Mario to defeat [[Mummipokey]] and [[Petey Piranha]] to go to Worlds 4 and 7, respectively (however, using certain cannons can also take Mario there).

====''Super Mario Galaxy====
[[Image:MechaStackofBlocks.jpg|thumb|200px|right|The stone wheel antenna found at the top of [[Mecha-Bowser]] in the [[Toy Time Galaxy]] in ''Super Mario Galaxy''.]]
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', the Ground Pound is mainly used to activate large switches emblazoned with the Ground Pound logo. These switches appear in just about every galaxy, and can perform any number of functions when pounded, from making [[Star Bit]]s appear to causing an entire section of the wall to fall down.

In addition to this, beetle-like creatures called [[Mandibug]]s make their appearance in this game, and they have the Ground Pound symbol right on the back of their shell. For obvious reasons, Mario must defeat them using a Ground Pound. The boss [[Bugaboom]] fought later in the game is also defeated in a similar fashion, though he must be Ground Pounded three times.

The Ground Pound is also used to pound wooden pegs into the ground. An excellent example of this is in the mission "[[Gusty Garden Galaxy#The Dirty Tricks of Major Burrows|The Dirty Tricks of Major Burrows]]" in the [[Gusty Garden Galaxy]], where Mario must Ground Pound wooden pegs sticking out of three large [[Gusty Garden Galaxy#Apple Planets|apple-shaped planetoids]] in order to send the large [[worm]] inside burrowing through to the next one.

Many stone wheels with the Ground Pound symbol on them also appear in this game, and are usually found stacked on top of one another. Mario must simply Ground Pound over the entire stack to obliterate them all. This is seen in the [[Toy Time Galaxy]] in the mission "[[Toy Time Galaxy#Heavy-Metal Mecha Bowser|Heavy-Metal Mecha Bowser]]," where Mario must Ground Pound the stone wheel antenna on the head of the [[Mecha Bowser]] in order to defeat it.

[[Undergrunt Gunner]]s are also defeated through the use of the Ground Pound, as the glass case covering the cockpit of their large cannons must be Ground Pounded three times in order to break it and defeat them.

There are orange trampolines in certain galaxies with the Ground Pound symbol on them. When the player Ground Pounds them, they will be flung into the air, allowing them to reach certain [[? Block]]s or platforms that they would not normally be able to reach.

Also, quickly after a [[spin]] in midair, [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] can do a lock-on Ground Pound, which will cause him to come crashing down directly on a nearby enemy or object without needing to aim first.

====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii====
The Ground Pound from ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' is the same as the Ground Pound from ''New Super Mario Bros.''. In this game, Ground Pounding a Koopa Troopa, [[Buzzy Beetle]] etc. doesn't make it retreat into its shell and start sliding - it defeats it instantly.

In addition to the regular Ground Pound, there is also another variation performable only in multiplayer, called the Simultaneous Ground Pound. This is performed when two or more players Ground Pound at the same time. This creates a circular shockwave that quickly clears all enemies on the screen. The Simultaneous Ground Pound is much more powerful than the regular Ground Pound, and acts similarly to a [[POW Block]].

====''Super Mario Galaxy 2====
[[File:SMG2 Spingroundpound.gif|thumb|Mario Ground Pounding after [[Spin]]ning.]]
The Ground Pound can also be used in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', and serves the same purpose as in its predecessor, though with a few minor differences. For example, [[Meteorite]]s with the Ground Pound symbol on them appear out of the ground in every [[Bowser]] level, which the player must Ground Pound in exactly the right place to send them flying into large stone locks blocking the way through the door to the next area.

Meteorites also appear during every Bowser battle, and therefore serve as the player's main means of dealing damage to Bowser in his giant form (however, many of them also release damaging shock waves when they hit the ground, so they are somewhat of a double-edged sword in this regard). The player must Ground Pound several of these meteorites into Bowser during the battle, hitting him a total of four times to defeat him (with the exception of the final battle, in which Bowser will return after being defeated and the player must Ground Pound four more planetoids into him), for a grand total of sixteen times over the course of all three Bowser battles in the game.

Both [[Glamdozer]] and her [[Pupdozer]] underlings also feature the Ground Pound symbol emblazoned in white (purple in Glamdozer's case) directly on their stomachs, which is positioned as such to clue the player in to their weakness, indicating that they must be Ground Pounded in order to be defeated. However, unlike the majority of other ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' enemies, these particular adversaries must always be Ground Pounded when they are positioned under a flipping cage, as Mario cannot access their weak spot otherwise.  

[[Bugaboom]] reappears in this game in the [[Puzzle Plank Galaxy]], and is defeated in the same way as in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''.

The [[Whomp King]] also makes a reappearance in this game in the [[Throwback Galaxy]], and must be defeated in exactly the same way as in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' (by Ground Pounding his back three times when he slams to the ground).

Finally, the Ground Pound also plays a key role in the defeat of [[Bowser Jr.'s Boomsday Machine]] in [[Bowser Jr.'s Boom Bunker]], as Mario must Ground Pound the glass case covering the cockpit of the machine (in much the same way as when he dealt with [[Undergrunt Gunner]]s in the first game).

The lock-on Ground Pound or "Homing Pound" move can also be used in this game, and is activated in the same way: by [[Spin]]ning and Ground Pounding at the same time.

====''Super Mario 3D Land====
As like in previous games, Mario can ground pound in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', this time by pressing {{button|3ds|L}} or {{button|3ds|R}} in mid-air. This defeats enemies and allows Mario to destroy blocks and [[crate]]s.

===''Yoshi'' series===
[[File:YIDS GroundPound.png|left|thumb|150px|Green Yoshi doing a Ground Pound with [[Baby Mario]] flying off from his back.]]
[[File:GPLBY.jpg|right|thumb|110px|[[Light Blue Yoshi]] from ''Yoshi's Story'' Ground Pounding.]]
The Ground Pound can also be used by [[Yoshi]] in the ''Yoshi'' games. It was first made famous in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. This move can be used to stomp on posts, break [[crate]]s, defeat enemies etc. Indeed, the Ground Pound has been referred to as "Yoshi's proudest move".<ref>''Yoshi's Story'' Instruction Booklet, page 11.</ref>

The move [[Yoshi#Yoshi Bomb|Yoshi Bomb]] used by Yoshi in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series was based on the Ground Pound Yoshi performs in the ''Yoshi'' series.

Also, in ''Super Mario 64 DS'', Yoshi could ground pound, only to defeat most enemies, as it does not have any effect on Boos and red blocks.
{{br|left}}

===''Mario Party'' series===
[[File:ToadYoshi MP9.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[Toad]] and [[Yoshi]] performing Ground Pounds in ''Mario Party 9''.]]
The move has appeared in most ''Mario'' platformers, and can be used in many ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' mini-games, commonly to flatten opponents and stun them for a few seconds.

===''Wario'' series===
[[Wario]] is another character who has infamously used the Ground Pound. In ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]'', he is able to do the move when in [[Bull Wario]] form. In ''[[Wario Land II]]'' and ''[[Wario Land 4]]'', he can do this without any ability of any kind. In ''[[Wario Land 3]]'', two of the various treasures that Wario collects deal with Ground Pounding―the first introduces the move while the second makes it more powerful.

In ''[[Virtual Boy Wario Land]]'', Wario can Body Slam, which very closely resembles ground pounding in two of his forms ([[Bull Wario]] and [[King Dragon Wario]]). This means a power-up item is required for him to perform this maneuver.

===''Donkey Kong'' series===
====''Donkey Kong 64====
In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', Ground Pound returns under the name Simian Slam. It functions similar to ''Super Mario 64''. It can be upgraded to super Simian Slam, which allows the Kongs to activate blue [[Kong Switch]], then it upgrades to Super Duper Simian Slam, which grants the kongs the abilty to slam red switches.

====''Donkey Kong Country Returns====
Ground Pound reappear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''. [[Donkey Kong]] can use to pound the ground with his hands, it is done by shaking the Wii Remote. It allows to open treasure boxes, beat down poles and stun enemies. 
<br clear=all>

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
Bowser's Ground Pound move was later seen in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' known as the [[Bowser#Bowser Bomb|Bowser Bomb]]. Bowser either faces the screen or has his back to the screen when he uses his Ground Pound, similar to his Ground Pound in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.

Yoshi also comes with his own Ground Pound known as the [[Yoshi#Yoshi Bomb|Yoshi Bomb]] in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series.

===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario====
The [[Spin Jump]] move in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' is extremely similar to a Ground Pound.

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door====
[[File:GroundPound.png|thumb|Yoshi Kid using the Ground Pound on Mario as a shadow in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''.]]
In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', [[Yoshi Kid]] can use this attack. To use this attack the player must rapidly tap {{button|gcn|R}}, this is one of the few attacks that two Stylish Moves can be executed. The closer the player gets to filling the gauge the more times the attack will hit, dealing 1 damage each hit. No [[FP]] is needed to use this attack, and the attack is an initial attack. Also, the Spin Jump from ''Paper Mario'' returns, however, it is called the "Ground Pound" in the instruction booklet.

====''Super Paper Mario====
[[Image:Thudley.PNG|70px|left|thumb|Thudley, the ground pound Pixl in ''Super Paper Mario''.]]
In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', a [[Pixl]] named [[Thudley]] grants the hero the Ground Pound ability. This move can be used to stomp on yellow posts, which activates certain things. Ground pounding also deals double damage to enemies.

It involves the user falling more quickly and slamming into the ground with their rear, often to apply more force than an average [[stomp]] but with less mobility. It can have multiple effects, primarily either to attack or to break or activate [[block]]s and other objects from above; using it is the only way to complete certain tasks, such as destroying [[Chain Chomp]]s' stakes or pressing a [[Ground-Pound Switch]]. In certain games (first in ''Super Mario Galaxy''), objects with a unique effect when Ground Pounded are marked with a symbol resembling an explosion. The move is usually executed by pressing the [[crouch]] button in midair, but it is sometimes instead used by pressing the [[jump]] button twice (especially in [[minigame]]s of the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]]).

-The move was introduced in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' by [[Bowser]]. Unlike in later versions of the move (where the player always faces forwards), Bowser faces the screen when he ground-pounds. If [[Mario]] is not in [[Fire Mario|Fire form]] or [[Hammer Mario|Hammer form]], he must trick Bowser into ground-pounding the brick floor in the same lateral position three times to make him fall through it, defeating him.

+In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', the Ground Pound move is activated by pressing the {{button|n64|Z}} button (normally used to crouch) while in mid-air. The Ground Pound does serve some functions in this game, such as activating [[Blue Coin Block]]s, reducing damage taken from severe drops if used close to the ground (sometimes completely nullifying the damage) and defeating enemies.

-[[File:Mario64groundpound.jpg|thumb|Artwork of Mario ground-pounding from ''Super Mario 64'']]
-''[[Super Mario 64]]'' is the first game Mario can ground-pound in, and the move returns 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 defeat 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 the [[Hazy Maze Cave]], the player character can pound [[Dorrie]]'s back to make his head go down. Two [[brick pillar]]s 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.
-====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
+Mario also uses this move in the [[Bob-omb Battlefield]] level in the episode "[[Bob-omb Battlefield#Star 6: Behind Chain Chomp's Gate|Behind Chain Chomp's Gate]]," where he must Ground Pound the small wooden peg holding the [[Chain Chomp]]'s leash in place in order to free it and claim the [[Power Star]].
-Ground Pounding is a move in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. One of its main uses involves using it to flip small circular [[Manhole]] covers that appear in both [[Delfino Plaza]] and [[Ricco Harbor]]. This allows Mario to access secret underground tunnels, which often have [[Blue Coin]]s or [[1-Up Mushroom]]s hidden within them. Ground-pounding is required to collect certain [[Shine Sprite]]s, such as the one obtained from a small stone wheel located on top of the lighthouse in Delfino Plaza (provided that he uses the [[Rocket Nozzle]] first so that the move can be strong enough to break the stone wheel). The Ground Pound can also be used to break apart large [[Watermelon block|square watermelons]] or pound large [[Post|nails]] into the ground. Ground Pounding can prevent Mario from taking damage if he falls from a great height and uses it shortly before hitting the ground. In [[Down with Petey Piranha!|Episode 2]] and [[Petey Piranha Strikes Back|Episode 5]] of [[Bianco Hills]], a Ground Pound is used to damage [[Petey Piranha]] after he falls on the ground. Similarly, in [[Wiggler Ahoy! Full Steam Ahead!|Episode 3]] of [[Gelato Beach]], certain parts of [[Wiggler (Super Mario Sunshine)|Wiggler]]'s body have to be ground-pounded while it is flipped over to damage it. In [[Mirror Madness! Tilt, Slam, Bam!|Episode 2]], which comes directly before, ground-pounding is used it to fling the [[Plungelo]]s off the large mirrors near the [[Shine Tower]]. In [[Corona Mountain]], during the final battle, Mario has to ground-pound five separate ends of the large slime-filled hot tub Bowser is sitting in, each time after using the Rocket Nozzle to propel himself into the air, eventually resulting in the entire hot tub tipping over and Bowser being defeated.
-====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
+It is used once again in [[Whomp's Fortress]], where the player must Ground Pound [[King Whomp]]'s back once he slams onto the ground in a total of three times in order to defeat him.
-[[File:Mariogroundpound.png|thumb|left|Screenshot from ''New Super Mario Bros.'']]
-The Ground Pound is a move in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' It can be performed by pressing down on the {{button|ds|Pad}} while in midair, though this can be canceled out mid-ground pound by pressing up on the {{button|ds|Pad}}. A Ground Pound can be held down for as long as desired, unlike other appearances. Ground Pounds can be used to break [[Brick Block|brick]]s or repeatedly earn coins from [[Coin Block]]s (if continuing to hold down on the {{button|ds|Pad}}), but [[Small Mario]] cannot break them or earn the coins repeatedly (Mario must keep doing Ground Pounds instead of holding down). A [[Sledge Bro]] can Ground Pound, which stuns Mario or Luigi if he is not in midair by the time the Sledge Bro lands onto the ground. [[Petey Piranha]], a boss fought in {{world-link|5|castlen|World 5-Castle (New Super Mario Bros.)}}, will perform an angled Ground Pound after flying in the air for a few seconds. Once Petey Piranha touches the ground, he will become dizzy and fall down, giving Mario or Luigi a chance to stomp him. The damage value of a Ground Pound is twice the amount of other basic attacks, such as [[jump]]ing, though Ground Pounds from [[Mini Mario (form)|Mini Mario]] inflict average damage. A Ground Pound can immediately send [[Koopa Troopa]]s in their shells and start sliding quickly, or to make [[Snailicorn]]s slide across the ice.

-====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
-[[File:MechaStackofBlocks.png|thumb|The [[stone wheel]] antenna found at the top of [[Toy Time Galaxy#Mecha-Bowser|Mecha-Bowser]] in the [[Toy Time Galaxy]] in ''Super Mario Galaxy''.]]
-In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', the Ground Pound is mainly used to activate [[Ground-Pound Switch]]es, large switches emblazoned with the Ground Pound logo. These switches appear in almost every galaxy, and can perform any number of functions when pounded, from making [[Star Bit]]s appear to causing an entire section of a wall to fall down.
-In addition to this, beetle-like creatures called [[Mandibug]]s make their appearance in this game, and they have the Ground Pound symbol right on the back of their shell, indicating that Mario must defeat them using a Ground Pound. The boss [[Bugaboom]] fought later in the game is also defeated in a similar fashion, though he must be Ground Pounded three times.
+====''Super Mario Sunshine====
+The use of the Ground Pound is greatly expanded in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. One of its main uses involves using it to flip small circular [[Manhole]] covers that appear in both [[Delfino Plaza]] and [[Ricco Harbor]]. This allows [[Mario]] to access secret underground tunnels which often have [[Blue Coins]] or [[1-Up Mushroom]]s hidden within them.
-The Ground Pound is also used to pound [[stump]]s into the ground. An example of this is in the mission "[[The Dirty Tricks of Major Burrows]]" in the [[Gusty Garden Galaxy]], where Mario must Ground Pound stumps sticking out of three large [[Gusty Garden Galaxy#Apple Planets|apple-shaped planetoids]] in order to send the large [[worm (Super Mario Galaxy)|worm]] inside burrowing through to the next one.
+The Ground Pound is also used as a means of collecting [[Shine Sprite]]s. For example, Mario must Ground Pound a small stone wheel located on top of the lighthouse in Delfino Plaza in order to release the Shine Sprite hidden there. However, a normal Ground Pound will not have any effect. He must therefore first use the [[Rocket Nozzle]] to blast himself into the air, and then do a Ground Pound. This will result in an extra powerful Ground Pound, which is strong enough to break the stone wheel apart.
-Many [[stone wheel]]s with the Ground Pound symbol on them also appear in this game, and are usually found stacked on top of one another. Mario must simply Ground Pound over the entire stack to obliterate them all. This is seen in the [[Toy Time Galaxy]] in the mission "[[Heavy Metal Mecha-Bowser]]," where Mario must Ground Pound the stack of stone wheels on the head of the [[Toy Time Galaxy#Mecha-Bowser|Mecha-Bowser]] in order to defeat it.
+This move is also used to defeat certain bosses. For example, in "[[Bianco Hills#Episode 1: The Road to the Big Windmill|The Road to the Big Windmill]]" and "[[Bianco Hills#Episode 5:Petey Piranha Strikes Back|Petey Piranha Strikes Back]]," the player must Ground Pound [[Petey Piranha]]'s engorged belly after spraying water into his mouth three times to defeat him. In addition, it is also used in Episode 3 of [[Gelato Beach]], "[[Gelato Beach#Episode 3: Wiggler Ahoy! Full Steam Ahead!|Wiggler Ahoy! Full Steam Ahead!]]," when Mario must battle [[Wiggler]]. After spraying the [[Dune Bud]]s, causing Wiggler to flip onto his back, he must Ground Pound specific segments of his body three consecutive times in order to defeat him. It is also used in the level just before this episode, "[[Gelato Beach#Episode 2: Mirror Madness! Tilt, Slam, Bam!|Mirror Madness! Tilt, Slam, Bam!]]," where the player must use it to fling the [[Plungelo]]s off of the large mirrors near the [[Shine Tower]].
-[[Undergrunt Gunner]]s are also defeated through the use of the Ground Pound, as the glass case covering the cockpit of their large cannons must be Ground Pounded three times in order to break it and defeat them.
+Finally, the Ground Pound plays a major role during the final boss battle with [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]] in [[Corona Mountain]]. Mario must again use the Rocket Nozzle to blast himself into the air, and then Ground Pound five separate ends of the large slime-filled hot tub Bowser is sitting in, eventually resulting in the entire hot tub tipping over, and Bowser being defeated.
-There are orange [[Springboard]]s in certain galaxies with the Ground Pound symbol on them. When the player Ground Pounds them, they will be flung into the air, allowing them to reach certain [[? Block]]s or platforms that they would not normally be able to reach.
+It can also be used to break apart large square watermelons (often found in secret levels) when they block the way or to pound large nails into the ground.
-Performing a Ground Pound while underwater instead has Mario briefly dive downwards.
+The Ground Pound can also be used to prevent Mario from taking a considerable amount of damage due to a fall from a great height if used shortly before he hits the ground.
-Also, quickly after a [[spin]] in midair, [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] can do a {{conjectural|Homing Ground Pound}}, which will cause him to come crashing down directly on a nearby enemy or object without needing to aim first. This move is not mentioned in the game's instruction booklet.
+====''New Super Mario Bros.====
+The Ground Pound makes several appearances in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''. When the player presses down on the D-Pad when in mid-air, the player will perform a Ground Pound. Ground Pounds can be used to break [[Brick Block]]s or repeatedly earn coins from [[Coin Block]]s (by holding the down button on the D-Pad), but [[Small Mario]] cannot break them or earn the coins repeatedly (Mario must keep doing Ground Pounds instead of holding down).
-====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
+At the World 5 Castle, the player will fight [[Petey Piranha]], who will perform an angled Ground Pound after flying in the air for a few seconds. Once Petey Piranha touches the ground, he will become dizzy and fall down, giving Mario or Luigi a chance to stomp him.
-Ground Pounding is a move in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. It is used similarly as in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', though Ground Pounding a Koopa Troopa or a [[Buzzy Beetle]] defeats it instantly, and it no longer deals twice the damage to bosses than a regular [[jump]]. [[Roy|Roy Koopa]] and [[Morton|Morton Koopa Jr.]] can Ground Pound in their respective battles. Exclusively in multiplayer is a variation of the move, [[Synchro Ground Pound|Simultaneous Ground Pound]].
-====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
+In addition, Ground Pounds deal double damage on enemies and bosses. They can immediately send [[Koopa Troopa]]s in their shells and start sliding really fast, or to make [[Snailicorn]]s to slide across the ice. However, the double damage effect was removed on bosses in the [[New Super Mario Bros Wii|sequel]] (possibly due to the fact it made the game too easy).
-[[File:SMG2 Spingroundpound.gif|thumb|Mario Ground Pounding after [[spin]]ning.]]
-The Ground Pound can also be used in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', and serves the same purpose as in its predecessor, though with a few minor differences. For example, [[meteorite]]s with the Ground Pound symbol on them appear out of the ground in every [[Bowser]] level, which the player must Ground Pound in exactly the right place to send them flying into large stone locks blocking the way through the door to the next area.
-Meteorites also appear during every Bowser battle, and therefore serve as the player's main means of dealing damage to Bowser in his giant form (however, many of them also release damaging shock waves when they hit the ground, so they are somewhat of a double-edged sword in this regard). The player must Ground Pound several of these meteorites into Bowser during the battle, hitting him a total of four times to defeat him (with the exception of the final battle, in which Bowser will return after being defeated and the player must Ground Pound four more planetoids into him), for a grand total of sixteen times over the course of all three Bowser battles in the game.
+If Mario is [[Mini Mario]], then Ground Pounds are required to deal damage, but the damage would only be equal of a regular jump. Ground Pounds must be used as Mini Mario to defeat [[Mummipokey]] and [[Petey Piranha]] to go to Worlds 4 and 7, respectively (however, using certain cannons can also take Mario there).
-Both [[Glamdozer]] and her [[Pupdozer]] underlings also feature the Ground Pound symbol emblazoned in white (purple in Glamdozer's case) directly on their stomachs, which is positioned as such to clue the player in to their weakness, indicating that they must be Ground Pounded in order to be defeated. However, unlike the majority of other ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' enemies, these particular adversaries must always be Ground Pounded when they are positioned under a flipping cage, as Mario cannot access their weak spot otherwise.
+====''Super Mario Galaxy====
+[[Image:MechaStackofBlocks.jpg|thumb|200px|right|The stone wheel antenna found at the top of [[Mecha-Bowser]] in the [[Toy Time Galaxy]] in ''Super Mario Galaxy''.]]
+In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', the Ground Pound is mainly used to activate large switches emblazoned with the Ground Pound logo. These switches appear in just about every galaxy, and can perform any number of functions when pounded, from making [[Star Bit]]s appear to causing an entire section of the wall to fall down.
-[[Bugaboom]] reappears in this game in the [[Puzzle Plank Galaxy]], and is defeated in the same way as in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''.
+In addition to this, beetle-like creatures called [[Mandibug]]s make their appearance in this game, and they have the Ground Pound symbol right on the back of their shell. For obvious reasons, Mario must defeat them using a Ground Pound. The boss [[Bugaboom]] fought later in the game is also defeated in a similar fashion, though he must be Ground Pounded three times.
-The [[Whomp King]] also makes a reappearance in this game in the [[Throwback Galaxy]], and must be defeated in exactly the same way as in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' (by Ground Pounding his back three times when he slams to the ground).
+The Ground Pound is also used to pound wooden pegs into the ground. An excellent example of this is in the mission "[[Gusty Garden Galaxy#The Dirty Tricks of Major Burrows|The Dirty Tricks of Major Burrows]]" in the [[Gusty Garden Galaxy]], where Mario must Ground Pound wooden pegs sticking out of three large [[Gusty Garden Galaxy#Apple Planets|apple-shaped planetoids]] in order to send the large [[worm]] inside burrowing through to the next one.
-Finally, the Ground Pound also plays a key role in the defeat of [[Bowser Jr.'s Boomsday Machine]] in [[Bowser Jr.'s Boom Bunker]], as Mario must Ground Pound the glass case covering the cockpit of the machine (in much the same way as when he dealt with [[Undergrunt Gunner]]s in the first game).
+Many stone wheels with the Ground Pound symbol on them also appear in this game, and are usually found stacked on top of one another. Mario must simply Ground Pound over the entire stack to obliterate them all. This is seen in the [[Toy Time Galaxy]] in the mission "[[Toy Time Galaxy#Heavy-Metal Mecha Bowser|Heavy-Metal Mecha Bowser]]," where Mario must Ground Pound the stone wheel antenna on the head of the [[Mecha Bowser]] in order to defeat it.
-The {{conjectural|Homing Ground Pound}} move can also be used in this game, and is activated in the same way: by [[spin]]ning and Ground Pounding at the same time.
+[[Undergrunt Gunner]]s are also defeated through the use of the Ground Pound, as the glass case covering the cockpit of their large cannons must be Ground Pounded three times in order to break it and defeat them.
-====''Super Mario 3D Land''====
+There are orange trampolines in certain galaxies with the Ground Pound symbol on them. When the player Ground Pounds them, they will be flung into the air, allowing them to reach certain [[? Block]]s or platforms that they would not normally be able to reach.
-[[File:SM3DL-Mario Ground Pound Artwork.png|thumb|Mario Ground Pounding in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''.]]
-[[File:Goomba Pound SM3DL.png|thumb|left|Mario defeating a stack of [[Goomba]]s with a ground pound.]]
-As in previous games, Mario can ground pound in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', this time by pressing {{button|3ds|L}} or {{button|3ds|R}} in mid-air. This allows Mario to hit/defeat enemies and destroy blocks and [[crate]]s. Mario can also now use this move underwater as well (replacing the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' games' downward dive), although it will end after a shorter period. If Mario uses a [[Statue Leaf]] to become [[Tanooki Mario]], however, this move will be replaced by the form's [[Statue Mario|statue transformation]].
-{{br}}
-====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
+Also, quickly after a [[spin]] in midair, [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] can do a lock-on Ground Pound, which will cause him to come crashing down directly on a nearby enemy or object without needing to aim first.
-As in previous games, Mario can ground pound in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', in the same way he could do it in ''New Super Mario Bros.'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. This time, the Ground Pound can hurt enemies that fall on Mario's head.
-====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe'' ====
+====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii====
-The Ground Pound returns in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'', working as it did in previous ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games.
+The Ground Pound from ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' is the same as the Ground Pound from ''New Super Mario Bros.''. In this game, Ground Pounding a Koopa Troopa, [[Buzzy Beetle]] etc. doesn't make it retreat into its shell and start sliding - it defeats it instantly.
-====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
+In addition to the regular Ground Pound, there is also another variation performable only in multiplayer, called the Simultaneous Ground Pound. This is performed when two or more players Ground Pound at the same time. This creates a circular shockwave that quickly clears all enemies on the screen. The Simultaneous Ground Pound is much more powerful than the regular Ground Pound, and acts similarly to a [[POW Block]].
-The Ground Pound returns in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', with similar properties to ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' and ''Super Mario 3D Land'' (although with a [[Lucky Bell]] being used to turn into [[Lucky Cat Mario]], instead of a Statue Leaf), but it now also reveals invisible objects temporarily. Players can also perform a high jump after executing a Ground Pound, by pressing the jump button a bit after landing from the move (upon landing in the Switch port). This move is called a '''Ground Pound Jump'''.<ref>{{cite|author=Tparris|date=October 12, 2017|timestamp=0:30|url=youtu.be/HE9c0TfazE8?t=30|title=Super Mario Odyssey - Action Guide|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=June 6, 2024}}</ref> The Simultaneous Ground Pound also returns.
-If a character Ground Pounds another one under the effects of a [[Double Cherry]], the Ground Pounded clone will become that of the Ground Pounder.
+====''Super Mario Galaxy 2====
+[[File:SMG2 Spingroundpound.gif|thumb|Mario Ground Pounding after [[Spin]]ning.]]
+The Ground Pound can also be used in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', and serves the same purpose as in its predecessor, though with a few minor differences. For example, [[Meteorite]]s with the Ground Pound symbol on them appear out of the ground in every [[Bowser]] level, which the player must Ground Pound in exactly the right place to send them flying into large stone locks blocking the way through the door to the next area.
-[[File:SM3DWBF Screenshot Fury Bowser 11.png|thumb|200px|[[Giga Cat Mario]] Ground Pounding [[Fury Bowser]] in ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury#Bowser's Fury|Bowser's Fury]]'']]
+Meteorites also appear during every Bowser battle, and therefore serve as the player's main means of dealing damage to Bowser in his giant form (however, many of them also release damaging shock waves when they hit the ground, so they are somewhat of a double-edged sword in this regard). The player must Ground Pound several of these meteorites into Bowser during the battle, hitting him a total of four times to defeat him (with the exception of the final battle, in which Bowser will return after being defeated and the player must Ground Pound four more planetoids into him), for a grand total of sixteen times over the course of all three Bowser battles in the game.
-In the ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury#Bowser's Fury|Bowser's Fury]]'' campaign in the [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Reissue#Ports|port]], the Ground Pound is an essential move to defeat [[Fury Bowser]], but can only be done once he has his shell flipped over. Fury Bowser himself also uses a similar move which involves him tucking into his shell, jumping into the air and slamming his shell on the ground, creating a ring of fire. Additionally, the [[Ground-Pound Switch]] reappears in ''Bowser's Fury'', which may reveal an obstacle course for Mario to cross or a battle arena full of enemies that must be defeated to obtain a [[Cat Shine]].
-====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
+Both [[Glamdozer]] and her [[Pupdozer]] underlings also feature the Ground Pound symbol emblazoned in white (purple in Glamdozer's case) directly on their stomachs, which is positioned as such to clue the player in to their weakness, indicating that they must be Ground Pounded in order to be defeated. However, unlike the majority of other ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' enemies, these particular adversaries must always be Ground Pounded when they are positioned under a flipping cage, as Mario cannot access their weak spot otherwise.
-In ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', the Ground Pound and Ground Pound Jump return, working as they did in ''Super Mario 3D World'', though the Ground Pound Jump can be done immediately after a Ground Pound. Pressing {{button|switch|y}} during the move's startup makes Mario do a [[dive]] instead, and doing so underwater makes Mario perform a [[Quick Swim]] forwards. The in-game brochure for the [[Lost Kingdom]] also implies that the starburst symbol used to denote areas vulnerable to a ground pound originated there.<ref>[[Lost Kingdom#A Symbol from Ancient Times|Lost Kingdom article]]</ref> [[Bowser]] uses this move after Mario and [[Cappy]] take away his hat from him, and when he does, he creates a ring of fire, although in some cases, it can be three.
-====''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''====
+[[Bugaboom]] reappears in this game in the [[Puzzle Plank Galaxy]], and is defeated in the same way as in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''.
-Ground Pounding returns in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'' working as it did previously. Ground Pounding as [[Drill Mario]] causes the user to drill downward for a more powerful attack that can break jewel blocks. New to this entry, a Ground Pound causes a drum roll to play when activated, followed by a crash cymbal sound when the attack lands.
-===''Wario Land'' series===
+The [[Whomp King]] also makes a reappearance in this game in the [[Throwback Galaxy]], and must be defeated in exactly the same way as in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' (by Ground Pounding his back three times when he slams to the ground).
-In ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]'', [[Wario]] is able to do the move as [[Bull Wario]]. In ''[[Wario Land II]]'' and ''[[Wario Land 4]]'', he can do this without any ability of any kind. In ''[[Wario Land 3]]'', one of the various treasures that Wario collects will enable him to Ground Pound, while a second treasure makes it more powerful. If Wario performs this move from a great height, it becomes a [[block]]-breaking '''Super Smash Attack'''.<ref name=WarioLand4EN/> In ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]'', Wario can perform a similar move called the [[Earthshake Punch]].
-In ''[[Virtual Boy Wario Land]]'', Wario can perform a weaker version of the Ground Pound that resembles a belly flop in both his normal and [[Eagle Wario|Eagle]] forms. This Ground Pound is capable of defeating enemies, but not destroying blocks or shaking the ground. [[Bull Wario]] and [[King Dragon Wario]] can perform a more traditional Ground Pound, with the added effect of being able to trigger [[? Block]]s from above.
+Finally, the Ground Pound also plays a key role in the defeat of [[Bowser Jr.'s Boomsday Machine]] in [[Bowser Jr.'s Boom Bunker]], as Mario must Ground Pound the glass case covering the cockpit of the machine (in much the same way as when he dealt with [[Undergrunt Gunner]]s in the first game).
-===''Yoshi'' franchise===
+The lock-on Ground Pound or "Homing Pound" move can also be used in this game, and is activated in the same way: by [[Spin]]ning and Ground Pounding at the same time.

The [[Bandit]] also uses this move in the [[Popping Balloons]] [[Mini Battle]]. This strategy can be used by Yoshi in return. The move returns in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]''. In ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', Yoshi becomes a hammer when he ground pounds, except for when he is in his [[Mega Yoshi]] form.

+As like in previous games, Mario can ground pound in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', this time by pressing {{button|3ds|L}} or {{button|3ds|R}} in mid-air. This defeats enemies and allows Mario to destroy blocks and [[crate]]s.
-The move appears in many ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' games, commonly to win [[minigame]]s, activate panels, and flatten opponents, which stuns them for a few seconds. In ''[[Mario Party]]'', ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', and ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', ground-pounding is performed by pressing {{button|n64|a}} and then {{button|n64|z}}. In ''Mario Party'' and ''Mario Party 2'', the move was called the Hip Drop ("hip" being ''{{wp|wasei-eigo}}'' for the buttocks). Since ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', ground-pounding is performed by pressing the jump button while in the air.
-In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', the move is only used in [[Frozen Assets]].

+The Ground Pound can also be used by [[Yoshi]] in the ''Yoshi'' games. It was first made famous in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. This move can be used to stomp on posts, break [[crate]]s, defeat enemies etc. Indeed, the Ground Pound has been referred to as "Yoshi's proudest move".<ref>''Yoshi's Story'' Instruction Booklet, page 11.</ref>

-{{see also|Simian Slam}}
-The [[Simian Slam]] move in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' is functionally derived from Mario's Ground Pound in ''Super Mario 64''. It can be upgraded to Super Simian Slam, which allows the Kongs to activate blue [[Kong Switch]]es, then it upgrades to Super Duper Simian Slam, which grants the Kongs the ability to slam red switches. A ground pound attack is used during the first and fourth rounds of the final battle against [[King K. Rool|King Krusha K. Rool]].
-===''Paper Mario'' series===
+Also, in ''Super Mario 64 DS'', Yoshi could ground pound, only to defeat most enemies, as it does not have any effect on Boos and red blocks.

In ''[[Wario Land 3]]'', two of the various treasures that Wario collects deal with Ground Pounding―the first introduces the move while the second makes it more powerful.

-The Ground Pound in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' is referred to as a Spin Jump, and is first granted by the [[Super Boots]] found in [[Boo's Mansion]]. In the field, it is performed by pressing {{button|n64|A}} in midair, and allows Mario to break boarded-up holes and [[Crate|wooden box]]es, as well as to reveal the contents of hidden panels, which is required in order to obtain some of the collectible [[Star Piece (Paper Mario series)|Star Pieces]] found in the game. Once Mario finds the [[Ultra Boots]] in the [[Toad Town Tunnels]], he will lose the Super Boots and the Spin Jump ability will be replaced with the [[Tornado Jump (move)|Tornado Jump]].
-While Mario has the Super Boots, his Jump attacks that hit two or more times become Spin Jumps when he successfully performs the [[Action Command]]; this effect is purely visual, though it affects the timing of the consecutive hits of [[Multibounce]] and [[Power Bounce]] (lengthening the time between each bounce). If Mario performs a Spin Jump in the overworld to make the [[First Strike]] against an enemy, his Jump’s base damage will be doubled to 4, though like all First Strikes in ''Paper Mario'', the Action Command cannot be performed.
+In ''[[Virtual Boy Wario Land]]'', Wario can Body Slam, which very closely resembles ground pounding in two of his forms ([[Bull Wario]] and [[King Dragon Wario]]). This means a power-up item is required for him to perform this maneuver.

-The Ground Pound in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' is referred to as the Spin Jump as in ''Paper Mario'', also performed by pressing {{button|gcn|A}} in midair and is first granted after Mario finds the [[Super Boots]] in [[The Great Tree]] in [[Boggly Woods]]. The Spin Jump is no longer automatically used when Mario makes Jump attacks. However, the Spin Jump can now be used in battle as a separate move for 2 FP, or for free if Mario Spin Jumps on an enemy to make the First Strike. It does 6 base damage (two jumps that deal 2 damage for the first one, and 4 damage for the second). When Mario obtains the Ultra Boots, he retains the ability to use the Spin Jump, and its attack Power increases to 9 (3 for the first hit, and 6 for the second). Unlike other Jump attacks, a second Action Command must be performed when Mario lands the second hit on an enemy to deal the attack’s full damage. When Bowser is playable in his ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''-style mini-stages, he can perform a Spin Jump the same way. Once Mario has obtained the Ultra Boots from the [[Riverside Station]], he loses the Super Boots, but retains the Spin Jump move while also learning the new [[Spring Jump]] move.
-Furthermore, [[Yoshi Kid|Yoshi]] also has a default attack called Ground Pound. This move only deals 1 damage at base strength, but the amount of hits can be increased by executing the Action Command. The player must rapidly tap {{button|gcn|R}} during the allocated time to fill a gauge. The further this gauge is filled, the more bounces will be performed, resulting in up to six bounces at Ultra Rank. Yoshi can also perform two [[Stylish move]]s during the attack. For the first, the player must press {{button|gcn|A}} as Yoshi is first lined up with the enemy from above, and for the second, the player must press {{button|gcn|A}} as Yoshi hits the ground after the attack.
-As a jump-type move, although this attack can target any non-ceiling enemies, it will be canceled by certain enemies who deal contact damage from above. Also similarly to [[Power Bounce]], if Yoshi's attack is increased, only the first hit will be affected by the power buffs, and each consecutive hit will simply do one damage less than the last, down to 1 damage.

-In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', a [[Pixl]] named [[Thudley]] grants the hero the Ground Pound ability. This move can be used to stomp on yellow posts, which activates certain things, and to deal double damage to enemies. Also, [[O'Chunks]] can perform ground pounds in his boss battles.

 ===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
-Yoshi's Down Special move in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and subsequent titles in ''Super Smash Bros.'' series is a Ground Pound move, named the [[Yoshi Bomb]] and based on his Ground Pound move from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' and ''Yoshi's Story''. Bowser's Ground Pound from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' also appears as Bowser's Down Special move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and subsequent titles, named the [[Bowser Bomb (move)|Bowser Bomb]]. Bowser either faces the screen or has his back to the screen when he uses his Ground Pound, similar to his Ground Pound in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. As Special Moves, both the Yoshi Bomb and Bowser Bomb have special variants for customizable movesets in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]''.
+Bowser's Ground Pound move was later seen in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' known as the [[Bowser#Bowser Bomb|Bowser Bomb]]. Bowser either faces the screen or has his back to the screen when he uses his Ground Pound, similar to his Ground Pound in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.
-Additionally, Ground Pound moves appear to be utilized by other ''Super Mario'' characters through down throws. Princess Peach's down throw (from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' to ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U'') can be considered as a Ground Pound, since it involves her jumping in the air and slamming her opponents by sitting. Wario's down throw, debuting in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', is reminiscent of the Ground Pound from the ''Wario Land'' games. Luigi's new down throw in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' is also a standard Ground Pound, effectively replacing his body slam from prior ''Super Smash Bros.'' titles.
+Yoshi also comes with his own Ground Pound known as the [[Yoshi#Yoshi Bomb|Yoshi Bomb]] in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series.
-===''Wario World''===
+===''Paper Mario'' series===
-[[File:WarioWorldFlowerySlabClosed.png|thumb|Wario about to Ground Pound a closed [[Swirly Slab]] in [[Beanstalk Way]].]]
+====''Paper Mario====
-In ''[[Wario World]]'', a Ground Pound can be performed by pressing the {{button|gcn|R}} button while jumping. It has many uses, such as attacking enemies, destroying [[Rock Block]]s, bouncing off [[Bunny Spring]]s. It is also used to open [[trapdoor (Wario World)|trapdoor]]s that lead to sub-levels where [[red diamond (Wario World)|red diamond]]s can be found, as well as goal trapdoors that lead to boss battles. However, steel trapdoors cannot be opened with ordinary Ground Pound. Instead, Wario must use a [[Piledriver]], which is executed the same way, but requires Wario to be holding an enemy or object beforehand.
+The [[Spin Jump]] move in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' is extremely similar to a Ground Pound.
-===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
+====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door====
-====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
+[[File:GroundPound.png|thumb|Yoshi Kid using the Ground Pound on Mario as a shadow in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''.]]
-In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', the [[Luiginoid]]s from the [[Luiginoid Formation]] can use a Ground Pound while in the shape of a stack. It is used by pressing {{button|3ds|B}} after jumping, and allows all the Luiginoids to destroy blocks and boxes below them.
+In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', [[Yoshi Kid]] can use this attack. To use this attack the player must rapidly tap {{button|gcn|R}}, this is one of the few attacks that two Stylish Moves can be executed. The closer the player gets to filling the gauge the more times the attack will hit, dealing 1 damage each hit. No [[FP]] is needed to use this attack, and the attack is an initial attack. Also, the Spin Jump from ''Paper Mario'' returns, however, it is called the "Ground Pound" in the instruction booklet.
-====''Mario & Luigi: Brothership''====
+====''Super Paper Mario====
-Mario and Luigi can strengthen their counterattacks by applying the Empower Counters [[Battle Plug]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]''; when this happens, jump counters can chain into a Ground Pound.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujjV-IivW7Q</ref> Additionally, Yoshi will attack with a Ground Pound during the [[Bros. Attack]] [[Hatch Me if You Can]].
+[[Image:Thudley.PNG|70px|left|thumb|Thudley, the ground pound Pixl in ''Super Paper Mario''.]]
+In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', a [[Pixl]] named [[Thudley]] grants the hero the Ground Pound ability. This move can be used to stomp on yellow posts, which activates certain things. Ground pounding also deals double damage to enemies.

-===''Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle''===
+==Names in Other Languages==
-In ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'', [[Yoshi]] can perform a Ground Pound when landing from a Team Jump, causing a shockwave that harms all characters in the vicinity, whether they are Yoshi's teammates or enemies. It can also be used by [[Valkyrie]]s, [[Bwario]], and the [[Lava Queen]], the latter of which also inflicts [[Burn]].
+{{foreignname
-===''WarioWare: Get It Together!''===
-In ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'', [[Lulu]] can perform a Ground Pound by tilting {{button|switch|leftstick}} down, causing her to quickly drop downwards. Her Ground Pound can be used to hit or push objects in microgames.
-===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''===
-In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]] performs a Ground Pound from a great height and landing in the middle of three Koopa soldiers. The impact of it is shown to be enough to cause the Koopas to retreat into their shells.
