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 '''Ground Pound''', also known as the '''Hip Drop''',<ref>{{cite|date=September 1995|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Issue #30|page=14}}</ref> '''Body Slam''',<ref>{{cite|date=1995|title=''Virtual Boy Wario Land'' instruction booklet|page=21|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> '''Pound the Ground''' attack, '''Bounce''',<ref>{{cite|date=September 1996|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Issue #42|page=18}}</ref> '''Butt-Bash''',<ref>{{cite|title=UK ''Nintendo Magazine'' #54|date=March 1997|page=21}}</ref> '''Jump Smash''',<ref>{{cite|date=June 2000|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 133|page=59|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> '''Smash Attack''',<ref name=WarioLand4EN>{{cite|language=en-us|date=2001|publisher=Nintendo of America|title=''Wario Land 4'' American instruction booklet|page=10}}</ref> and '''Butt Stomp''' or '''Keister Crush''' (formatted as '''ground-pound''' in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''; also formatted as '''ground pound'''<ref>{{cite|title=Screenshot|publisher=Imgur|url=i.imgur.com/pp7hxrq.png}}</ref> and also known as the '''Spin Jump''' in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''), is a recurring technique in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise, first usable by [[Mario]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and having become a common move used by him and many other characters since then, along with moves such as the [[Wall Jump]] and [[Spin Jump]].
