Video game cliche #64: The Butt-stomp

Member
Hi all,

Don't ask why...but I find myself in need of screenshots of as many games as possible where the main character is performing a "butt-stomp". You know, the move where a character jumps in the air and slams down on the ground with his butt. This usually smashes objects or enemies on the ground. It's sometimes known as "the ground pound" or similar.

Please...if you have any screen shots where this move is being performed, I would really appreciate it.

Games I can think of off-hand that have the move:

Super Mario 64
Yoshi's Island
Wario World
Mickey Mouse And The Castle Of Illusion

thanks :)

I haven't played Psychonauts yet (I know) but doesn't Raz have some kind of stomp move in it? I remember seeing it on that G4 show, think it was Icons.
 
more games:

Donald Duck Goin' Quackers
Croc 2
A Bug's Life
Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg
 
This is bringing joy to my heart. Thank you, Demi. You're the 200 point Cherry bonus in the maze of my life.

Edit: Yeah, I think a Donald Duck game at some point had a butt-stomp...pics! Stat!
 
I'm gonna head to sleep now...but I'll be back in a few hours. I feel like a kid at Christmas Eve, excitedly waiting for all the goodies to discover upon waking!

Edit: E. Honda!!! *slaps head* of course!!!!
 
Isn't complaining about gaming cliches like Gaming Forum Cliche #6?

Does it count when Kirby turns into a rock and stomps on stuff?
 
Not buttstomps per se, but a lot of female fighting game characters have moves where they fly at the enemy butt-first. Yuri (KOF), Tiffany (Rival Schools/Project Justice), R. Mika (SFA3), Q-Bee (Vampire Savior), and June (Star Gladiator/Plasma Sword) all do it, off the top of my head.

It's actually a head-stomp.
 
You can do that move in SML3: Warioland -- that's pretty early. Most of the Mario Party games feature at least one minigame with the move.

Anyway, someone else can tackle the GB/GBA games -- all the Warioland games feature the move. I'm tempted to credit SML3: Warioland as the first game with the move in it.

Mario Party 5 - Waluigi



Mario Party 6 - Peach


Wario World


Super Smash Bros. Melee - Yoshi


DK Jungle Beat (I don't think this is what you want -- looks more like a foot stomp)
 
OMG OMG OMG, you guys are the friggin' best!

Ghost, Cyan, David Dayton and especially Demi - you're on the list. THANK YOU! This is going to make my life a lot easier today and will be used as case evidence in the ongoing saga of "Don't take butt-stomp out of my game you bastards", soon to be a movie of the week on HBO.

Fag.

That reminds me, does anyone remember that spamming bitch in the 90's who flooded every usenet group and email inbox she could find with requests for videos of people tickling each other?

Have your bosses played a platformer before? Good lord.
