Piercing Blow, formerly known as D-Down Pound, is a badge in Paper Mario and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. It is a counterpart to D-Down Jump. When equipped, the badge grants Mario a hammer move that costs 2 FP and bypasses the enemy's defense.

In Paper Mario, D-Down Pound can be bought from Rowf's Badge Shop after chapter 1 for 75 coins. It uses 2 BP.

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Piercing Blow can be bought from the Lovely Howz of Badges for 75 coins. There is a 1 in 150 chance that this badge could be dropped after winning a battle against Spiky Parabuzzies. It uses 1 BP. Although multiple Piercing Blow badges can be obtained, equipping more than one has no effect.
