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


==Overview==
==Gameplay==
The player observes the [[stump|pegs]] before the [[butterfly|butterflies]] cover the top of them,<ref>{{cite|date=March 21, 2016|author=NintendoMovies|url=youtu.be/frAIvxgAnV0?feature=shared&t=1|title=''Mario Party 1'' - Ground Pound|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=March 4, 2025}}</ref> but some are not covered completely. In gameplay, the player tries to [[Ground Pound|hip-drop]] every peg with a flat top, but if they do so on one with a pointed top, it stuns them briefly.
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 costs 50 [[Coin]]s to buy at the [[Mini-Game House]].

==Notes==
==Trivia==
*The minigame descriptions in ''Mario Party'' and ''[[Mario Party 2]]'' use the phrase "Hip Drop" despite the minigame title, whereas the move would not be called "Ground Pound" until ''[[Mario Party 3]]'' onward.
*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 the minigame is played by a CPU character of any difficulty, they always hip-drop an incorrect peg for every correct one.{{ref needed}}
