View source for Ground pound jump

A '''ground pound jump''' is the second highest type of jump following the [[triple jump]], and is performed by jumping just after landing a [[ground pound]] or [[spinpound]].

== Properties ==
Ground pound jumps have a height of 513.5 units<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HynGdti4JSw</ref>, making them higher than the [[backflip]], [[sideflip]] and [[vault]], but lower than the [[triple jump]]. This is a fixed height, meaning it does not vary depending on how long the jump button is held. At the start of a ground pound jump, Mario will travel straight upward, which sometimes makes the ground pound jump less desirable than a backflip, which pushes Mario backwards slightly. However, the ground pound jump's trajectory can be controlled by moving the joystick.

Because ground pound jumps must be performed following a [[ground pound]] or [[spinpound]], which both neutralize Mario's momentum, they are not useful for crossing long distances.
