'''Ground Pound''' is a 1-Player [[minigame]] found in ''[[Mario Party]]''.

==Gameplay==
Before the game starts, the player has to look carefully at the [[stump|pegs]] before the [[butterfly|butterflies]] cover the tops. In order to win, the player must [[Ground Pound|hip-drop]] all the pegs with flat tops. Hip-dropping a peg with a pointy top injures the player and causes them to lose time. Sometimes, the butterflies do not cover the pegs completely, thus giving the player a better advantage.

The minigame can be purchased from the [[Mini-Game House]] for 50 [[Coin]]s.

==Trivia==
*The term "Ground Pound" was not used in the minigame descriptions in ''Mario Party'' and ''[[Mario Party 2]]''. Instead, the term used was "Hip Drop." This was changed to "Ground Pound" in the later ''Mario Party'' games, starting with ''[[Mario Party 3]]''.
*When a computer-controlled character is playing the minigame, they always hip-drop a wrong peg for each correct peg, regardless of the difficulty setting.
