Synchro Ground-Pound
The Simultaneous Ground Pound is a variant of the Ground Pound that consists of multiple players performing a Ground Pound at the same time. The move is typically stronger than the normal Ground Pound and affects all enemies in a certain area, similar to a POW Block.
History
Super Mario series
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
The Simultaneous Ground Pound[1] is introduced in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, in multiplayer only. This creates a circular shockwave that quickly clears all enemies on the screen. It takes only three Simultaneous Ground Pounds to defeat Bowser prematurely in his first phase.
New Super Mario Bros. 2
The Synchro Ground Pound returns in New Super Mario Bros. 2, where it can be performed when Mario and Luigi ground pound at the same time.
New Super Mario Bros. U
In multiplayer, players can once again perform the simultaneous ground pound introduced in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, now referred to as the Synchro Ground Pound (or synchro ground-pound[2]).
