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]]).

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====
[[File:Bowser Ground Pound SMAS.png|thumb|left|Bowser ground-pounding in the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' remake of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'']]
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.

====''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins''====
[[Wario]] uses a ground pound as one of his attacks in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]''. If Mario is on the ground, the attack will briefly stun him.
{{br|left}}
====''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''====
[[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''====
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.''====
[[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.
{{br|left}}
====''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.

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.

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.

[[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 [[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.

Performing a Ground Pound while underwater instead has Mario briefly dive downwards.

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 and is signalled by a much sharper whooshing sound. This move is not mentioned in the game's instruction booklet.

====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
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''====
[[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 ''[[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.  

[[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 {{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.

====''Super Mario 3D Land''====
[[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''====
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'' ====
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. 

====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
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.

[[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]]'']]
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 Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS'' ====
The Ground Pound returns in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and [[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS|its Nintendo 3DS port]], working similarly to ''New Super Mario Bros. U''. As a standard move, it is exclusive to the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' game style; however, in the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' styles, [[Goomba's Shoe]]s enlarged by a [[Super Mushroom]] grant the ability to perform Ground Pounds in a similar fashion to the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' style, with additional abilities to create a shockwave that defeats nearby enemies (similar to [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]]' stomps while holding a [[Yellow Shell]] as well as Yellow Yoshis' when holding any shell in ''[[Super Mario World]]''), and defeat [[Muncher]]s and [[Bowser Jr.]] in a single hit; and if the Shoe is changed into a Stiletto, it can break the same blocks that can be broken by [[Bob-omb]]s, instantly defeat [[Thwomp]]s and [[Bowser]], and destroy [[Bill Blaster]]s and [[cannon]]s.

Other than appearing as one of Mario's moves, Bowser can perform his Ground Pound attack from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' in that game's corresponding game style, and in the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' style, [[Sledge Bro]]s. and Bowser Jr.'s jumping attacks visually appear as them Ground Pounding, acting like the former's Ground Pound attack used since ''New Super Mario Bros.''

====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
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 Maker 2'' ====
The Ground Pound returns in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', retaining all of its characteristics from the original ''Super Mario Maker'', though unlike in the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games and ''Super Mario 3D World'', it is not possible to perform Synchro Ground-Pounds in this game's multiplayer modes. In addition, a [[Dry Bones Shell]] also grants the ability to perform Ground Pounds, working similarly to big Goomba's Shoes (though without the ability to defeat Munchers) and can also instantly defeat Bowser (as with Stilettos); landing from a Ground Pound with a Dry Bones Shell make the player "play dead" as if the player pressed {{button|Switch|down}} on the ground and becomes temporarily invincible, making it also similar to how [[Statue Mario]] works in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''; both big Goomba's Shoes and Dry Bones Shell can defeat [[Boom Boom]] and the [[Koopalings]] with a single Ground Pound in addition to Bowser Jr.

The version 2.0.0 update introduced the [[Link]] power-up for the ''Super Mario Bros.'' style, which allows the player to perform downward thrusts that operate similarly to big Goomba's Shoes' Ground Pounds. Also, the version 3.0.0 update added [[Morton|Morton Koopa Jr.]] as a placeable enemy, who can perform Ground Pounds similar to his appearance in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' in all game styles he appears in, but with an additional ability to summon two magic spells that travel on terrain and blocks.

The Ground Pound also appears as a standard move in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style, though it is performed by pressing {{button|Switch|down}} while airborne rather than a shoulder button, the ability to perform Ground Pound Jump had been removed, and it cannot be performed while swimming nor can [[Hidden Block]]s be revealed, making it more similar to how it works in the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' style than in the original game. It has abilities to reveal all of [[! Block]] segments at once instead of one by one, defeat [[Ant Trooper]]s rather than merely bouncing on them (but not when enlarged by a Super Mushroom), and push [[Bully|Bullies]] farther than a regular stomp in this style. Sledge Bros., as well as [[Heavy Fire Bro]]s., their [[Fire Bro]] equivalent, both of which were not present in the original game, can also perform Ground Pounds, acting as they do in the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' style.

====''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''====
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. There is a platform in this game called a [[Hip Tree]] that shifts when Ground Pounded and this is necessary to collect certain [[10-flower coin]]s.

===''Wario Land'' series===
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.

===''Yoshi'' franchise===
[[File:YIDS GroundPound.png|left|thumb|150px|Yoshi doing a Ground Pound while [[Baby Mario]] flies off from his back.]]
[[File:YS Artwork Light-Blue Yoshi.png|thumb|110px|[[Yoshi (species)|Light Blue Yoshi]] from ''Yoshi's Story'' Ground Pounding.]]
The Ground Pound (originally called Pounding The Ground or '''Pounding the Ground''')<ref>{{cite|author=Prima Bath|title=''Nintendo 64 Game Secrets, 1999 Edition'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|page=100|date=April 7, 1999|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=en-us|isbn=0-7615-2103-8|quote=Some of the Shy Guys roaming around carry those treasured melons. You can snatch the fruit right out of their hands with Yoshi’s agile tongue or dispose of the Shy Guys first. Before gobbling them up or eliminating them with an egg toss, remember to Pound the Ground and change them to Yoshi’s favorite color to maximize your score.}}</ref> is a recurring part of [[Yoshi]]'s moveset in the platform games of the [[Yoshi (franchise)|''Yoshi'' franchise]]. Wooden [[stump|post]]s appear in most games in the series, which block the way forward can can be pushed into the ground by hitting them with multiple Ground Pounds.

Ground Pounding was first used in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. This move can be used to stomp on posts, break [[crate]]s and defeat enemies. It is also the first game where the player character can ground-pound. [[Baby Bowser]] also uses the Ground Pound in the first phase of his battle with Yoshi, and is capable of creating shockwaves that can hurt Yoshi and [[Baby Mario]]. The [[Bandit]] also uses this move in the [[Popping Balloons]] [[Mini Battle]]. This strategy can be used by Yoshi in return.

Ground-pounding returns ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', It is referred to as "Yoshi's proudest move".<ref>{{cite|date=1998|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|title=''Yoshi's Story'' instruction booklet|page=11}}</ref> Posts do not appear in this game.

''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'' allows Yoshi to Ground Pound. While Yoshi is carrying [[Baby DK]], their Ground Pound is stronger and can bury a post in a single hit. ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'' also has the Ground Pound.

In ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and its 3DS remake, {{a|P&YWW|l}}, Yoshi's Ground Pounds have a unique animation where they transform their body into a hammer. Yoshi's head is excluded, meaning the legs become a handle, the chest area is the hammerhead, Yoshi's head sticks out from the hammerhead, and they drop in a belly flop instead in a sitting position. The Ground Pound plummets through fluffy clouds and spongy blocks. If the player releases {{button|wiiu|Paddown}} during a Ground Pound and they have plummeted through one such surface, then after a minimum amount of distance dropped past the impact point, the Ground Pound ends against this kind of terrain instead. By ground-pounding into the water, Yoshi can descend as deep as they are allowed to go without needing to jump in from a high point. The Ground Pound is key to defeating most of the game's bosses. Each boss with this weakness, excluding Baby Bowser, has two bandages in a cross shape somewhere on their body. Ground Pounding this spot causes them to take damage, However, Yoshi has to use other means to get each boss to reveal their weak point. Baby Bowser instead only takes damage from a Ground Pound if he is tied up by a [[yarn ball]]. The "Power up Ground Pound!" {{id|Power Badge|YWW}} can be used to add a shockwave to each ground-pound as it concludes against a surface. Note that this is separate from landing on a target, due to the aforementioned objects that Ground Pounds can plummet through. This shockwave defeats most enemies on the screen in Yoshi's plane, and even ones approaching from the background, but not any that are too far away in any direction. It also defeats adult [[Fluffin' Puffin]]s. The shockwave has a number of non-damaging effects on the game's bosses. [[Mega Yoshi]] can ground-pound, but does so normally. Mega Yoshi cannot benefit from the "Power up Ground Pound!" Power Badge. 

Three of the game's bosses, [[Big Montgomery]], [[Bunson the Hot Dog]], and Baby Bowser, can ground-pound. Big Montgomery uses Ground Pounds in all three of his battles. Instead of starting from the ground, he starts by popping out of the fabric in the background. In the battle at [[Big Montgomery's Bubble Fort]] it sends out a ripple through the ground on impact that inflicts damage. In the battle at [[Big Montgomery's Ice Fort]], it bumps up all of the other [[Ice Block]]s in the arena in a wave pattern. Contact with the Ice Blocks bounces Yoshi all the way up to the ceiling, where they take damage. Bunson the Hot Dog does a Ground Pound as he returns from the background, which he retreats to each time he takes damage. Baby Bowser's Ground Pounds create two lava geysers to his left and right as he lands. This is a critical part of his attack cycle, as the impact causes three red [[Shy Guy]]s to drop from the ceiling. These Shy Guys are the only way to have yarn balls follow Yoshi during the Baby Bowser battle. However, the impact from Baby Bowser's ground pounds also rocks the room, defeating Shy Guys left over from prior ground-pounds. After taking damage twice, Baby Bowser can team up with [[Kamek]]. First Baby Bowser jumps off of Kamek, then Kamek increases his size temporally , In this state, Baby Bowser performs three consecutive Ground Pounds, though the first always has to be to the far left or right of the screen. These Ground Pounds have wider and taller lava geysers and rock the room further, though they do not drop Shy Guys or defeat Shy Guys with the rocking.

Yoshi can ground-pound in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]''. The animation has reverted to normal compared to the prior game.

===''Mario Party'' series===
[[File:MP9 Toad and Yoshi Playing Fungi Frenzy Artwork.png|thumb|200px|[[Toad]] and [[Yoshi]] performing Ground Pounds in the minigame [[Fungi Frenzy (minigame)|Fungi Frenzy]] in ''[[Mario Party 9]]'']]
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]].

===''Donkey Kong 64''===
{{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]].

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.

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.

====''Super Paper Mario''====
[[File: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, 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]]''.

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.

===''Wario World''===
[[File:WarioWorldFlowerySlabClosed.png|thumb|Wario about to Ground Pound a closed [[Swirly Slab]] in [[Beanstalk Way]].]]
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.

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
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.

====''Mario & Luigi: Brothership''====
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]].

===''Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle''===
In ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'', [[Yoshi]] can perform a Ground Pound when landing from a [[Team Jump (Mario + Rabbids series)|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]].

===''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.
