The Ground Pound, also known as the Hip Drop,[1] Body Slam,[2] Pound the Ground attack, Bounce,[3] Butt-Bash,[4] Jump Smash,[5] Smash Attack,[6] and Butt Stomp (formatted as ground-pound in Super Mario 64 DS, Super Mario Galaxy, and Super Mario Galaxy 2; also formatted as ground pound[7] and also known as the Spin Jump in Paper Mario and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door), is a recurring technique in the Super Mario franchise, first usable by Mario in Super Mario 64 and having become a common move used by him and many other characters since then, along with moves such as the Wall Jump and Spin Jump. It involves the user falling more quickly and slamming into the ground with their rear, often to apply more force than an average stomp but with less mobility. It can have multiple effects, primarily either to attack or to break or activate blocks and other objects from above; using it is the only way to complete certain tasks, such as destroying Chain Chomps' stakes or pressing a Ground-Pound Switch. In certain games (first in Super Mario Galaxy), objects with a unique effect when Ground Pounded are marked with a symbol resembling an explosion. The move is usually executed by pressing the crouch button in midair, but it is sometimes instead used by pressing the jump button twice (especially in minigames of the Mario Party series).
History[edit]
Super Mario series[edit]
Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]
The move was introduced in Super Mario Bros. 3 by Bowser. Unlike in later versions of the move (where the player always faces forwards), Bowser faces the screen when he ground-pounds. If Mario is not in Fire form or Hammer form, he must trick Bowser into ground-pounding the brick floor in the same lateral position three times to make him fall through it, defeating him.
Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins[edit]
Wario uses a ground pound as one of his attacks in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. If Mario is on the ground, the attack will briefly stun him.
Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS[edit]
Super Mario 64 is the first game Mario can ground-pound in, and the move returns in Super Mario 64 DS. The move is activated by pressing the crouch button while in midair. Ground-pounding can activate Blue Coin Blocks, reduce damage taken from falling from high above, and defeat enemies. In the Bob-omb Battlefield mission Behind Chain Chomp's Gate, one crucial step to obtaining the Power Star is by pounding the stump holding the Chain Chomp's leash in place until it has sunken into the ground entirely. Using the attack is required to defeat the Whomp King in Whomp's Fortress, by doing it a total of three times, each time after he slams onto the ground. In the Hazy Maze Cave, the player character can pound Dorrie's back to make his head go down. Two brick pillars in the basement of the Mushroom Castle have to be pounded to drain the moat and get access to Vanish Cap Under the Moat. In Super Mario 64 DS, the Pound the Ground attack can be used when Mario uses the Power Flower to become Balloon Mario by using the crouch button to cancel the effect. Wario's Pound the Ground attack lets him smash objects with twice the strength of others, while Yoshi's lets him smash only stumps and Blue Coin Blocks.
Super Mario Sunshine[edit]
Ground Pounding is a move in Super Mario Sunshine. One of its main uses involves using it to flip small circular Manhole covers that appear in both Delfino Plaza and Ricco Harbor. This allows Mario to access secret underground tunnels, which often have Blue Coins or 1-Up Mushrooms hidden within them. Ground-pounding is required to collect certain Shine Sprites, such as the one obtained from a small stone wheel located on top of the lighthouse in Delfino Plaza (provided that he uses the Rocket Nozzle first so that the move can be strong enough to break the stone wheel). The Ground Pound can also be used to break apart large square watermelons or pound large nails into the ground. Ground Pounding can prevent Mario from taking damage if he falls from a great height and uses it shortly before hitting the ground. In Episode 2 and Episode 5 of Bianco Hills, a Ground Pound is used to damage Petey Piranha after he falls on the ground. Similarly, in Episode 3 of Gelato Beach, certain parts of Wiggler's body have to be ground-pounded while it is flipped over to damage it. In Episode 2, which comes directly before, ground-pounding is used it to fling the Plungelos off the large mirrors near the Shine Tower. In Corona Mountain, during the final battle, Mario has to ground-pound five separate ends of the large slime-filled hot tub Bowser is sitting in, each time after using the Rocket Nozzle to propel himself into the air, eventually resulting in the entire hot tub tipping over and Bowser being defeated.
New Super Mario Bros.[edit]
The Ground Pound is a move in New Super Mario Bros. It can be performed by pressing down on the 
while in midair, though this can be canceled out mid-ground pound by pressing up on the . A Ground Pound can be held down for as long as desired, unlike other appearances. Ground Pounds can be used to break bricks or repeatedly earn coins from Coin Blocks (if continuing to hold down on the ), but Small Mario cannot break them or earn the coins repeatedly (Mario must keep doing Ground Pounds instead of holding down). A Sledge Bro can Ground Pound, which stuns Mario or Luigi if he is not in midair by the time the Sledge Bro lands onto the ground. Petey Piranha, a boss fought in World 5-
Castle, will perform an angled Ground Pound after flying in the air for a few seconds. Once Petey Piranha touches the ground, he will become dizzy and fall down, giving Mario or Luigi a chance to stomp him. The damage value of a Ground Pound is twice the amount of other basic attacks, such as jumping, though Ground Pounds from Mini Mario inflict average damage. A Ground Pound can immediately send Koopa Troopas in their shells and start sliding quickly, or to make Snailicorns slide across the ice.
Super Mario Galaxy[edit]
In Super Mario Galaxy, the Ground Pound is mainly used to activate Ground-Pound Switches, large switches emblazoned with the Ground Pound logo. These switches appear in almost every galaxy, and can perform any number of functions when pounded, from making Star Bits appear to causing an entire section of a wall to fall down.
In addition to this, beetle-like creatures called Mandibugs make their appearance in this game, and they have the Ground Pound symbol right on the back of their shell, indicating that Mario must defeat them using a Ground Pound. The boss Bugaboom fought later in the game is also defeated in a similar fashion, though he must be Ground Pounded three times.
The Ground Pound is also used to pound stumps into the ground. An example of this is in the mission "The Dirty Tricks of Major Burrows" in the Gusty Garden Galaxy, where Mario must Ground Pound stumps sticking out of three large apple-shaped planetoids in order to send the large worm inside burrowing through to the next one.
Many stone wheels with the Ground Pound symbol on them also appear in this game, and are usually found stacked on top of one another. Mario must simply Ground Pound over the entire stack to obliterate them all. This is seen in the Toy Time Galaxy in the mission "Heavy Metal Mecha-Bowser," where Mario must Ground Pound the stack of stone wheels on the head of the Mecha-Bowser in order to defeat it.
Undergrunt Gunners are also defeated through the use of the Ground Pound, as the glass case covering the cockpit of their large cannons must be Ground Pounded three times in order to break it and defeat them.
There are orange Springboards in certain galaxies with the Ground Pound symbol on them. When the player Ground Pounds them, they will be flung into the air, allowing them to reach certain ? Blocks or platforms that they would not normally be able to reach.
Performing a Ground Pound while underwater instead has Mario briefly dive downwards.
Also, quickly after a spin in midair, Mario or Luigi can do a Homing Ground Pound, which will cause him to come crashing down directly on a nearby enemy or object without needing to aim first. This move is not mentioned in the game's instruction booklet.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]
Ground Pounding is a move in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. It is used similarly as in New Super Mario Bros., though Ground Pounding a Koopa Troopa or a Buzzy Beetle defeats it instantly, and it no longer deals twice the damage to bosses than a regular jump. Roy Koopa and Morton Koopa Jr. can Ground Pound in their respective battles. Exclusively in multiplayer is a variation of the move, Simultaneous Ground Pound.
Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]
The Ground Pound can also be used in Super Mario Galaxy 2, and serves the same purpose as in its predecessor, though with a few minor differences. For example, meteorites with the Ground Pound symbol on them appear out of the ground in every Bowser level, which the player must Ground Pound in exactly the right place to send them flying into large stone locks blocking the way through the door to the next area.
Meteorites also appear during every Bowser battle, and therefore serve as the player's main means of dealing damage to Bowser in his giant form (however, many of them also release damaging shock waves when they hit the ground, so they are somewhat of a double-edged sword in this regard). The player must Ground Pound several of these meteorites into Bowser during the battle, hitting him a total of four times to defeat him (with the exception of the final battle, in which Bowser will return after being defeated and the player must Ground Pound four more planetoids into him), for a grand total of sixteen times over the course of all three Bowser battles in the game.
Both Glamdozer and her Pupdozer underlings also feature the Ground Pound symbol emblazoned in white (purple in Glamdozer's case) directly on their stomachs, which is positioned as such to clue the player in to their weakness, indicating that they must be Ground Pounded in order to be defeated. However, unlike the majority of other Super Mario enemies, these particular adversaries must always be Ground Pounded when they are positioned under a flipping cage, as Mario cannot access their weak spot otherwise.
Bugaboom reappears in this game in the Puzzle Plank Galaxy, and is defeated in the same way as in Super Mario Galaxy.
The Whomp King also makes a reappearance in this game in the Throwback Galaxy, and must be defeated in exactly the same way as in Super Mario 64 (by Ground Pounding his back three times when he slams to the ground).
Finally, the Ground Pound also plays a key role in the defeat of Bowser Jr.'s Boomsday Machine in Bowser Jr.'s Boom Bunker, as Mario must Ground Pound the glass case covering the cockpit of the machine (in much the same way as when he dealt with Undergrunt Gunners in the first game).
The Homing Ground Pound move can also be used in this game, and is activated in the same way: by spinning and Ground Pounding at the same time.
Super Mario 3D Land[edit]
As in previous games, Mario can ground pound in Super Mario 3D Land, this time by pressing 
or 
in mid-air. This allows Mario to hit/defeat enemies and destroy blocks and crates. Mario can also now use this move underwater as well (replacing the Super Mario Galaxy games' downward dive), although it will end after a shorter period. If Mario uses a Statue Leaf to become Tanooki Mario, however, this move will be replaced by the form's statue transformation.
New Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]
As in previous games, Mario can ground pound in New Super Mario Bros. 2, in the same way he could do it in New Super Mario Bros. and New Super Mario Bros. Wii. This time, the Ground Pound can hurt enemies that fall on Mario's head.
New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe[edit]
The Ground Pound returns in New Super Mario Bros. U, New Super Luigi U and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, working as it did in previous New Super Mario Bros. games.
Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury[edit]
The Ground Pound returns in Super Mario 3D World, with similar properties to New Super Mario Bros. U and Super Mario 3D Land (although with a Lucky Bell being used to turn into Lucky Cat Mario, instead of a Statue Leaf), but it now also reveals invisible objects temporarily. Players can also perform a high jump after executing a Ground Pound, by pressing the jump button a bit after landing from the move (upon landing in the Switch port). This move is called a Ground Pound Jump.[8] The Simultaneous Ground Pound also returns.
If a character Ground Pounds another one under the effects of a Double Cherry, the Ground Pounded clone will become that of the Ground Pounder.
In the Bowser's Fury campaign in the Nintendo Switch port, the Ground Pound is an essential move to defeat Fury Bowser, but can only be done once he has his shell flipped over. Fury Bowser himself also uses a similar move which involves him tucking into his shell, jumping into the air and slamming his shell on the ground, creating a ring of fire. Additionally, the Ground-Pound Switch reappears in Bowser's Fury, which may reveal an obstacle course for Mario to cross or a battle arena full of enemies that must be defeated to obtain a Cat Shine.
Super Mario Odyssey[edit]
In Super Mario Odyssey, the Ground Pound and Ground Pound Jump return, working as they did in Super Mario 3D World, though the Ground Pound Jump can be done immediately after a Ground Pound. Pressing 
during the move's startup makes Mario do a dive instead, and doing so underwater makes Mario perform a Quick Swim forwards. The in-game brochure for the Lost Kingdom also implies that the starburst symbol used to denote areas vulnerable to a ground pound originated there.[9] Bowser uses this move after Mario and Cappy take away his hat from him, and when he does, he creates a ring of fire, although in some cases, it can be three.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder[edit]
Ground Pounding returns in Super Mario Bros. Wonder working as it did previously. Ground Pounding as Drill Mario causes the user to drill downward for a more powerful attack that can break jewel blocks. New to this entry, a Ground Pound causes a drum roll to play when activated, followed by a crash cymbal sound when the attack lands.
Wario Land series[edit]
In Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, Wario is able to do the move as Bull Wario. In Wario Land II and Wario Land 4, he can do this without any ability of any kind. In Wario Land 3, one of the various treasures that Wario collects will enable him to Ground Pound, while a second treasure makes it more powerful. If Wario performs this move from a great height, it becomes a block-breaking Super Smash Attack.[6] In Wario Land: Shake It!, Wario can perform a similar move called the Earthshake Punch.
In Virtual Boy Wario Land, Wario can perform a weaker version of the Ground Pound that resembles a belly flop in both his normal and Eagle forms. This Ground Pound is capable of defeating enemies, but not destroying blocks or shaking the ground. Bull Wario and King Dragon Wario can perform a more traditional Ground Pound, with the added effect of being able to trigger ? Blocks from above.
Yoshi franchise[edit]
The Ground Pound (originally called Pounding The Ground or Pounding the Ground)[10] can also be used by Yoshi in some games of the Yoshi franchise. Ground Pounding was first used in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. This move can be used to stomp on posts, break crates and defeat enemies. The Ground Pound has been referred to as "Yoshi's proudest move".[11] Baby Bowser also uses the Ground Pound in the first phase of his battle with Yoshi, and is capable of creating shockwaves that can hurt Yoshi and Baby Mario. The Bandit also uses this move in the Popping Balloons Mini Battle. This strategy can be used by Yoshi in return. The move returns in Yoshi's Story, Yoshi's Island DS, Yoshi's New Island and Yoshi's Crafted World. In Yoshi's Woolly World and its 3DS remake, Yoshi becomes a hammer when he ground pounds, except for when he is in his Mega Yoshi form.
Mario Party series[edit]
The move appears in many Mario Party games, commonly to win minigames, activate panels, and flatten opponents, which stuns them for a few seconds. In Mario Party, Mario Party 2, and Mario Party 3, ground-pounding is performed by pressing 
and then 
. In Mario Party and Mario Party 2, the move was called the Hip Drop ("hip" being wasei-eigo for the buttocks). Since Mario Party 4, ground-pounding is performed by pressing the jump button while in the air.
In Mario Party 8, the move is only used in Frozen Assets.
Donkey Kong 64[edit]
- See also: Simian Slam
The Simian Slam move in Donkey Kong 64 is functionally derived from Mario's Ground Pound in Super Mario 64. It can be upgraded to Super Simian Slam, which allows the Kongs to activate blue Kong Switches, then it upgrades to Super Duper Simian Slam, which grants the Kongs the ability to slam red switches. A ground pound attack is used during the first and fourth rounds of the final battle against King Krusha K. Rool.
Paper Mario series[edit]
Paper Mario[edit]
The Ground Pound in Paper Mario is referred to as a Spin Jump, and is first granted by the Super Boots found in Boo's Mansion. In the field, it is performed by pressing in midair, and allows Mario to break boarded-up holes and wooden boxes, as well as to reveal the contents of hidden panels, which is required in order to obtain some of the collectible Star Pieces found in the game. Once Mario finds the Ultra Boots in the Toad Town Tunnels, he will lose the Super Boots and the Spin Jump ability will be replaced with the Tornado Jump.
While Mario has the Super Boots, his Jump attacks that hit two or more times become Spin Jumps when he successfully performs the Action Command; this effect is purely visual, though it affects the timing of the consecutive hits of Multibounce and Power Bounce (lengthening the time between each bounce). If Mario performs a Spin Jump in the overworld to make the First Strike against an enemy, his Jump’s base damage will be doubled to 4, though like all First Strikes in Paper Mario, the Action Command cannot be performed.
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[edit]
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door move | |
|---|---|
| Spin Jump | |
| |
| Mastered by | Mario |
| FP cost | 2 |
| Effect | A two-hit jump attack that deals greater damage on the second hit |
| Target | Any non-ceiling enemy |
| Attack Power | 2 + 4 (with Super Boots) 3 + 6 (with Ultra Boots) |
| Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door move | |
|---|---|
| Ground Pound | |
| |
| Mastered by | Yoshi |
| Rank | Base Rank |
| Effect | Bounces on an enemy multiple times, dealing damage |
| Target | Any non-ceiling enemy |
| Attack Power | 1x4 Base Rank 1x5 Super Rank 1x6 Ultra Rank |
| Description | Attack by first stomping, then Spin Jumping on enemies. |
The Ground Pound in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is referred to as the Spin Jump as in Paper Mario, also performed by pressing 
in midair and is first granted after Mario finds the Super Boots in The Great Tree in Boggly Woods. The Spin Jump is no longer automatically used when Mario makes Jump attacks. However, the Spin Jump can now be used in battle as a separate move for 2 FP, or for free if Mario Spin Jumps on an enemy to make the First Strike. It does 6 base damage (two jumps that deal 2 damage for the first one, and 4 damage for the second). When Mario obtains the Ultra Boots, he retains the ability to use the Spin Jump, and its attack Power increases to 9 (3 for the first hit, and 6 for the second). Unlike other Jump attacks, a second Action Command must be performed when Mario lands the second hit on an enemy to deal the attack’s full damage. When Bowser is playable in his Super Mario Bros.-style mini-stages, he can perform a Spin Jump the same way. Once Mario has obtained the Ultra Boots from the Riverside Station, he loses the Super Boots, but retains the Spin Jump move while also learning the new Spring Jump move.
Furthermore, Yoshi also has a default attack called Ground Pound. This move only deals 1 damage at base strength, but the amount of hits can be increased by executing the Action Command. The player must rapidly tap 
during the allocated time to fill a gauge. The further this gauge is filled, the more bounces will be performed, resulting in up to six bounces at Ultra Rank. Yoshi can also perform two Stylish moves during the attack. For the first, the player must press as Yoshi is first lined up with the enemy from above, and for the second, the player must press as Yoshi hits the ground after the attack.
As a jump-type move, although this attack can target any non-ceiling enemies, it will be canceled by certain enemies who deal contact damage from above. Also similarly to Power Bounce, if Yoshi's attack is increased, only the first hit will be affected by the power buffs, and each consecutive hit will simply do one damage less than the last, down to 1 damage.
Super Paper Mario[edit]
In Super Paper Mario, a Pixl named Thudley grants the hero the Ground Pound ability. This move can be used to stomp on yellow posts, which activates certain things, and to deal double damage to enemies. Also, O'Chunks can perform ground pounds in his boss battles.
Super Smash Bros. series[edit]
Yoshi's Down Special move in Super Smash Bros. and subsequent titles in Super Smash Bros. series is a Ground Pound move, named the Yoshi Bomb and based on his Ground Pound move from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Story. Bowser's Ground Pound from Super Mario Bros. 3 also appears as Bowser's Down Special move in Super Smash Bros. Melee and subsequent titles, named the Bowser Bomb. Bowser either faces the screen or has his back to the screen when he uses his Ground Pound, similar to his Ground Pound in Super Mario Bros. 3. As Special Moves, both the Yoshi Bomb and Bowser Bomb have special variants for customizable movesets in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U.
Additionally, Ground Pound moves appear to be utilized by other Super Mario characters through down throws. Princess Peach's down throw (from Super Smash Bros. Melee to Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U) can be considered as a Ground Pound, since it involves her jumping in the air and slamming her opponents by sitting. Wario's down throw, debuting in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, is reminiscent of the Ground Pound from the Wario Land games. Luigi's new down throw in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is also a standard Ground Pound, effectively replacing his body slam from prior Super Smash Bros. titles.
Wario World[edit]
In Wario World, a Ground Pound can be performed by pressing the button while jumping. It has many uses, such as attacking enemies, destroying Rock Blocks, bouncing off Bunny Springs. It is also used to open trapdoors that lead to sub-levels where red diamonds can be found, as well as goal trapdoors that lead to boss battles. However, steel trapdoors cannot be opened with ordinary Ground Pound. Instead, Wario must use a Piledriver, which is executed the same way, but requires Wario to be holding an enemy or object beforehand.
Mario & Luigi series[edit]
Mario & Luigi: Dream Team[edit]
In Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, the Luiginoids from the Luiginoid Formation can use a Ground Pound while in the shape of a stack. It is used by pressing 
after jumping, and allows all the Luiginoids to destroy blocks and boxes below them.
Mario & Luigi: Brothership[edit]
Mario and Luigi can strengthen their counterattacks by applying the Empower Counters Battle Plug in Mario & Luigi: Brothership; when this happens, jump counters can chain into a Ground Pound.[12] Additionally, Yoshi will attack with a Ground Pound during the Bros. Attack Hatch Me if You Can.
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle[edit]
In Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, Yoshi can perform a Ground Pound when landing from a Team Jump, causing a shockwave that harms all characters in the vicinity, whether they are Yoshi's teammates or enemies. It can also be used by Valkyries, Bwario, and the Lava Queen, the latter of which also inflicts Burn.
WarioWare: Get It Together![edit]
In WarioWare: Get It Together!, Lulu can perform a Ground Pound by tilting 
down, causing her to quickly drop downwards. Her Ground Pound can be used to hit or push objects in microgames.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie[edit]
In The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Super Mario performs a Ground Pound from a great height and landing in the middle of three Koopa soldiers. The impact of it is shown to be enough to cause the Koopas to retreat into their shells.
