A silent spinpound is when a spinpound does not generate the usual sound accompanied by a spinpound. Many players will encounter a silent spinpound at some point whilst playing the game and may be confused as to what caused it. According to current knowledge, a silent spinpound occurs when the player releases zl/zr just before the spinpound is completed.[[Category:Tricks]]
A silent spinpound is when a spinpound does not generate the usual sound or animation accompanied by a spinpound. There are two main causes of silent spinpounds, each with different behavior:
* If the crouch button is released just before Mario touches the ground during a spinpound, Mario will not appear to pound the ground, but actions that require a ground pound (such as revealing a Power Moon) will be triggered. In this case, Mario will not encounter the momentary stun animation that normally occurs just as he pounds the ground. Additionally, Mario cannot perform a [[ground pound jump]] following this type of silent spinpound, and will perform a regular jump instead.
* If Cappy returns to Mario just as he pounds the ground, the ground pound sound and particle effects that normally occur during a spinpound will not be present. Unlike the other type of silent spinpound, this one is purely visual/auditory and has no physical differences, and Mario can still follow it up with a ground pound jump.[[Category:Tricks]]
