A '''ground pound''' is a move that can be performed by pressing the ZL or ZR button while in midair. It causes Mario to quickly accelerate downward toward the ground, and can be used to trigger certain elements in the game, such as buttons.

A '''ground pound''' is a move that can be performed by pressing the ZL or ZR button while in midair. It causes Mario to quickly accelerate downward toward the ground and can be used to trigger certain elements in the game, such as buttons.

Ground pounding can also be performed the same way as [[Cappy]] in [[two-player mode]]. The physical mechanism is different from Mario's ground pound, but it has the same effects, except when ground pounding [[Capture|capturable]] entities, which triggers the capture action.

== Properties ==

Ground pounding onto certain objects in the game can be used to trigger specific actions, such as pressing buttons, revealing hidden [[Power Moon|Power Moons]], triggering the staircases in the [[Lost Kingdom]], and defeating [[Astro-Lanceur|Astro-Lanceurs]], among many others.

~~Ground~~ pounds can also be used to defeat any enemies that are normally defeated by jumping on them. In most cases, this will cancel the bouncing action that normally occurs when jumping on enemies, causing Mario to flatten the enemy straight into the ground instead.

Mario's ground pounds can also be used to defeat any enemies that are normally defeated by jumping on them. In most cases, this will cancel the bouncing action that normally occurs when jumping on enemies, causing Mario to flatten the enemy straight into the ground instead.

Pressing X or Y while in midair during a ground pound will cause Mario to [[dive]]. If X or Y is pressed after a ground pound connects with the ground, Mario will [[Rolling|roll]] if the crouch button (ZL or ZR) is held, and perform a [[downthrow]] if it is not. However, if X or Y is pressed too soon after the ground pound lands, Mario will perform a downthrow regardless of whether or not the crouch button is held.
