{{spotlight notice}}
'''Kicking''' appears in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] as a [[abilities|move]] closely related to [[punch]]ing, either as part of an attack combo or a midair attack. Almost every playable character with legs can kick, though [[Boo]] uses its tail instead. In some games, kicking is done by pressing the attack button while in midair.

'''Kicking''' is a [[abilities|move]] closely related to [[Punch|punching]] that appears in many ''Mario'' games. It is either part of a attack combo or a midair attack. Almost every playable character with legs can kick, though [[Boo]] uses its tail instead.

In ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'', [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] must kick enemies after flipping them over in order to defeat them.

Kicking in the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]] was first seen in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', where either Mario or Luigi was capable of kicking [[shell|Koopa Shell]]s at his opponents or obstacles. The kicking of Koopa Shells later returns in most future ''Super Mario'' games. The later games, such as ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', also introduced the concept of kicking other objects aside from Koopa Shells in order to gain other effects.

In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', Mario can kick enemies away after stunning them, like in ''Mario Bros.'' A move called the [[double kick]] also appears, and it gets its name because of how Mario does a kick with both legs while doing the move.

====''Mario Party 2''====
Players can kick in various [[minigame]]s in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]]. Doing so to other players usually stuns them temporarily, but kicking is sometimes used to destroy objects faster than punching. For example, in [[Destruction Duet]] in ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', players can have their characters kick the [[Bowser Statue]]s by pressing {{button|n64|B}} while in midair, damaging and eventually destroying the statues. In [[Rocky Road (minigame)|Rocky Road]] in ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', players can kick the [[boulder]]s blocking their way to destroy them, but they must be careful not to kick and temporarily stun their teammates.
