A ground pound cannot be performed during a [[dive]] or a [[long jump]], or immediately after [[bonking]] (although in the case of a long jump, a cap throw can be performed to reset Mario back to the normal falling state and make a ground pound possible again). A regular ground pound also cannot be performed during a [[spin jump]], since a [[spinpound]] will be performed instead.

Ground pounding will stall Mario in the air for a brief moment. Because of this, it is often preferable to use [[Spinpound|spinpounds]] instead while speedrunning, since unlike ground pounds, they will cause Mario to descend immediately.
