| '''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. | | {{more images}} |

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

|
| ==History==
| | The move was first seen in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' where either [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] were capable of kicking [[Koopa Shell]]s at their 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. |
| ===''Mario Bros.''===
| |
| In ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'', [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] must kick enemies after flipping them over in order to defeat them.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===''Super Mario'' series===
| | Mario also kicks to end an attack combo in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''; he can also do so in midair, to attack enemies and stall his fall (both [[Luigi]] and [[Wario]] were also capable of performing kicks in the latter game). |

| |
| 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.

|
| ====''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''====
| | In ''[[Wario's Woods]]'', kicking is one of [[Toad]]'s signature abilities in the game. He can kick aside the various enemies in the game to line them up with each other and [[Bomb (object)|bombs]], which he can also kick if they are set on the ground. |
| Mario kicks to end an attack combo in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''; he can also perform a kick in midair (called a '''Jump Kick'''),<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1996|title=''Super Mario 64'' instruction book|page=14}}</ref><ref>{{cite|author=Pelland, Scott and Dan Owsen|title=''Super Mario 64'' Player's Guide|page=7 and 56|date=1996|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> to attack enemies and stall his fall (both [[Luigi]] and [[Wario]] are also capable of performing kicks in the latter game).
| |
|
| |
|
| ====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
| | The move also appears in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]] in some minigames, working as it did in ''Super Mario 64''. |
| 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.
| |
|
| |
|
| ====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
| | The ''[[Super Mario Strikers|Mario]] [[Mario Strikers Charged|Strikers]]'' games mainly rely on this move, as the games are based off of soccer, a kick-centric real world sport. The [[Super Strike]] and [[Mega Strike]], respectively, are the most powerful kicks in the two games. |

| Mario can kick in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', with the move having the same purpose as in its predecessor.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===''Mario Party'' series===
| | In the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], almost all the playable characters are capable of using kicks as a form of attack. Midair kicks were also made possible for some characters. Some kicks are also [[List of special moves|special moves]], like [[Captain Falcon]]'s [[Captain Falcon#Falcon Kick|Falcon Kick]] and [[Ganondorf]]'s [[Ganondorf#Wizard's Foot|Wizard's Foot]]. |
| [[File:Destruction Duet Second Variation.png|thumb|In Destruction Duet, kicking may be used to damage the statues.]]
| |
| 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.

| ===''Mario Strikers'' series===
| | In the ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' [[Super Mario Galaxy 2|games]], Mario can also kick enemies away after stunning them, similar to ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' A move called the [[Double Kick]] also appears, which gets its name because of how Mario does a kick with both legs while doing the move. |
| ====''Super Mario Strikers''====
| |
| In ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]'', the game relies on this move a lot as the series is based on soccer, a kick-centric real world sport. The [[Super Strike]], respectively, is the most powerful kick in the game.

|
| |
|
| ====''Mario Strikers Charged''==== | | ==Official profiles== |
