[[File:GustyGardenStump.jpg|300px|thumbnail|A '''Stump''' from ''Super Mario Galaxy'']]

'''Tree stumps''' are objects found in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', and  ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. They can be [[Ground Pound]]ed by any character, and may or may not result in something happening.

==''Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS''==

In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and its [[Super Mario 64 DS|remake]], Stumps play a very minor role in the mission "Behind Chain Chomp's Gate" in [[Bob-omb Battlefield]], where a Chain Chomp is tied to one. Ground pounding on the Stump three times frees the [[Chain Chomp]], who will in turn breaks the gate that was blocking a [[Power Star]]. Other Stumps are seen throughout [[Bob-omb Battlefield]], but serve no real purpose. More Stumps are seen in the "huge" side of [[Tiny-Huge Island]], but also serve no real purpose.

In these games, even if a stump is stomped all the way, the sound effect of pounding a stump will still play if [[Ground Pound]]ed again.

==''Super Mario Galaxy''==
 
Larger Stumps reappear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' in the [[Gusty Garden Galaxy]] and the [[Gold Leaf Galaxy]]. When [[Ground Pound]]ed, they turn red. They also now only need to be [[Ground Pound]]ed once, as opposed to the three times from [[Super Mario 64]] or [[Super Mario 64 DS]]. [[Ground Pound]]ing on a Stump in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' may result in having two [[Goomba]]s appear, two [[Flipbug]]s appear, many [[Star Bit]]s appear, and very rarely, have a [[Life Mushroom]] appear, [[Sling Star]] appear, or to get a giant [[Worm]] to move.
