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. | The Ground Pound is also used as a means of collecting [[Shine Sprite]]s.

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. | Finally, the Ground Pound plays a major role during the final boss battle with [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]] in [[Corona Mountain]].
