The Ground Pound is also used as a means of collecting [[Shine Sprite]]s. For example, Mario must ground-pound a small stone wheel located on top of the lighthouse in Delfino Plaza in order to release the Shine Sprite hidden there. However, a normal Ground Pound will not have any effect. He must therefore first use the [[Rocket Nozzle]] to blast himself into the air, and then do a Ground Pound. This will result in an extra powerful Ground Pound, which is strong enough to break the stone wheel apart.

This move is also used to defeat certain bosses. For example, in [[Down with Petey Piranha!]] and [[Petey Piranha Strikes Back]], the player must ground-pound [[Petey Piranha]]'s engorged belly after spraying water into his mouth three times to defeat him. In addition, it is also used in Episode 3 of [[Gelato Beach]], [[Wiggler Ahoy! Full Steam Ahead!]], when Mario must battle [[Wiggler]]. After spraying the [[Dune Bud]]s, causing Wiggler to flip onto his back, Mario must ground-pound specific segments of his body three consecutive times in order to defeat him. It is also used in the level just before this episode, [[Mirror Madness! Tilt, Slam, Bam!]], where the player must use it to fling the [[Plungelo]]s off the large mirrors near the [[Shine Tower]].

Finally, the Ground Pound plays a major role during the final boss battle with [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]] in [[Corona Mountain]]. Mario must again use the Rocket Nozzle to blast himself into the air, and then ground-pound five separate ends of the large slime-filled hot tub Bowser is sitting in, eventually resulting in the entire hot tub tipping over and Bowser being defeated.
