Punching is an attack that most characters can do in the Mario series.

The punch move is first seen in Super Mario 64, in which it is Mario's basic B Button attack; Luigi and Wario also use punches in the remake, Super Mario 64 DS.

Most characters have punch moves in the Super Smash Bros. series. In most cases these moves are standard, tilt, or smash attacks, though some, such as Captain Falcon's Falcon Punch or Donkey Kong's Giant Punch, are special moves.

Various Mario Party minigames involve punching objects or other players. Some characters have alternate animations for their punch, most noticeably Peach and Daisy, who have an open-hand slap instead. Yoshi uses a headbutt in the Nintendo 64 Mario Party games, but it was changed to a punch in all later installments. Birdo also has a slapping animation similar to Peach and Daisy in Mario Party 7, but it was also changed to a punch in Mario Party 8.

In Wario World, most of Wario's attacks consist of punching moves.

In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, Bowser's X Button move is punching; in battle, he winds up a punch that can be executed with the X button, and on the overworld he can punch obstacles and later gains the Sliding Punch. Bowser also punches as one of his attacks as a boss in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team.
