Stump: Difference between revisions

'''Stumps''' are objects in the ''[[Yoshi (franchise)|Yoshi]]'' and 3D ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' games. They can be [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]]ed by any character, and they may or may not result in something happening. They more resemble wooden pegs in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and [[Super Mario 64 DS|its remake]], but they are changed to look more like tree stumps starting in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''.

===''Yoshi'' franchise===

In the [[Yoshi (franchise)|''Yoshi'' franchise]], similar objects called '''posts'''<ref>The ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide. Page 27.</ref> appear. They are obstacles in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'', ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', and ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]''. They are wooden posts that come up from the ground, and [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] must [[Ground Pound]] them. In ''Yoshi's Island DS'', [[Baby Donkey Kong]] can stomp them straight to the ground in one single ground pound. [[Coin]]s and [[Red Coin]]s can occasionally be found in these. They mostly block Yoshi's way and must be ground pounded. In [[Raphael The Raven's Castle]], they are used to attack [[Raphael the Raven]]. Posts also appear in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'' and perform the same function. [[Ground Pound Rebound]] is one of a few levels to feature them.

In ''Super Mario 64'' and its remake, stumps (referred to as '''posts''')<ref>Scott Pelland and Dan Owsen. ''The Super Mario 64 Player's Guide''. Redmond: [[Nintendo|Nintendo of America]], 1996. Pages 22 and 23.</ref> are seen throughout the [[Bob-omb Battlefield]] and the "huge" side of [[Tiny-Huge Island]]. In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', they are also found on [[Whomp's Fortress]] and [[Tall, Tall Mountain]]. [[Ground Pound|Ground-pounding]] them three times may release [[coin]]s (in the DS version, they may also release [[Super Mushroom|mushroom]]s). In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', [[Wario]] needs to pound a stump only once to drive it all the way into the ground. Stumps play a minor role in the mission [[Behind Chain Chomp's Gate]] in the Bob-omb Battlefield, where a [[Chain Chomp]] is tied to one; ground-pounding it three times frees the Chain Chomp, who will in turn break the gate that was blocking a [[Power Star]].

Although not stumps, '''Nails'''<ref>Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 14.</ref> behave near identically to stumps of ''Super Mario 64'' in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. They are found in various [[Super Mario Sunshine#Secret Levels|secret levels]], such as [[The Hillside Cave Secret]]. Most give a coin when fully Ground Pounded, while some give a [[1-Up Mushroom]]. However, the player cannot run around an intact nail to receive anything like in ''Super Mario 64''.
