Ground Pound: Difference between revisions

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 allows Mario to break boarded-up holes, as well as to reveal the contents of hidden panels, which is required in order to obtain some of the collectible [[Star Piece (Paper Mario series)|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 (move)|Tornado Jump]].

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', after Mario finds the [[Super Boots]] in [[The Great Tree]] in [[Boggly Woods]], he can do a Spin Jump by pressing {{button|gcn|A}} in midair, which works like a Ground Pound (and referred to as a Ground Pound in the manual). The Spin Jump can be used in battle for 2 FP and does 4 base damage (two jumps that deal 2 damage each). 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 will lose the Super Boots, but retain the Spin Jump move while learning the new [[Spring Jump]] ability.
