Wario uses the Earthshake Punch in Wario Land: Shake It!
Wario doing an Earthshake Punch

The Earthshake Punch[1] (or Ground Punch[2]) is a special move Wario can perform in Wario Land: Shake It! when the Shake Meter is full. When the player shakes the Wii Remote, Wario punches the ground hard enough to release a shockwave that will stun enemies on the ground, cause unsteady blocks to fall, and activate Shake Pillars. After use, the Shake Meter will empty and the player will have to wait five seconds for it to recharge.

The Shake King uses a similar move in his battle with Wario. However, he pounds the ground with both fists instead of punching it. The resulting shockwave will leave Wario stunned and defenceless unless it is jumped over. It can be parried with Wario's own Earthshake Punch, which topples the Shake King and creates an opening to attack.
