History Main / GoombaStomp

** In the ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaChroniclesOfSorrow'' games, this attack increases damage the longer you've been in midair. Abusing the Medusa Head soul for hang-time counts.

* In ''Unreal Tournament'', you landing on something else reduces the damage based on your jumping ability, but not something else landing on you, with the result that fan mods that increase jumping ability naturally result in Goomba Stomping.

* In ''VideoGame/PerfectDark'' penultimate level, you can kill Elvis this way.

* Shokan fighters from Goro on down in the Franchise/MortalKombat series have a common move of leaping high into the air and stomping the crap out of their opponents.

* ''VideoGame/GourmetWarriors'' will throw {{Lilliputians}} who tries to perform a ColossusClimb to attack you from the head. You can knock them off, however, and stomp on them.

* ''VideoGame/GourmetWarriors'' will throw {{Lilliputians}} who tries to perform a ColossalClimb to attack you from the head. You can knock them off, however, and stomp on them.

* ''VideoGame/AlienHominid''. Jumping on top of an enemy lets you ride them around, and you can either jump off or choose to kill them by biting their head off.

* The one foe that must be killed to progress in VideoGame/DeusEx is easily dealt with via this (as he stand in place and you can enter the area on the ledge above him), allowing the game to be completed without the use of items. Even outside of a self imposed challenge, this is still the most fun way, and quickest (the only downside being some minimal falling damage if you don't have a jump enhancing augmentation)

* ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'' has Agent South Dakota land on an Innie and catch his shotgun so it doesn't land and make a loud noise - as if a ''Spartan'' landing on a ''person'' wouldn't make that noise anyway.

* ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes'': [[LivingStatue Stone Boy]] of the Legion Auxiliary does a variant of this. All legionnaires have rings that allow them to levitate, and his usual means of fighting is to deactivate the ring immediately above his foe's head. Given how much he weighs, it's quite effective.

* ''Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}'' stomps on Kryptonite Man with both feet during their first battle in ''[[Comicbook/{{Supergirl 1982}} her second solo book]]''.

* ''Cyberpunk: Edgerunners'': [[spoiler:Adam Smasher]] pulls one off when he leaps off the roof of Arasaka Tower and lands right on top of poor [[spoiler:Rebecca]]. The results aren't pretty.

* ''Cyberpunk: Edgerunners'': Adam Smasher pulls one off when he leaps off the roof of Arasaka Tower and lands right on top of poor Rebecca. The results aren't pretty.

* ''Cyberpunk: Edgerunners'': Adam Smasher pulls one off when he leaps off the roof of Arasaka Tower and lands right on top of poor Rebecca. The results of having a nearly one ton cyborg landing on top of you aren't pretty.

* In ''Rolo to the Rescue'', Rolo and friends defeat enemies by stomping on them, repeatedly in the case of hedgehogs and {{Boss Battle}}s.

* In the Creator/{{Toaplan}} UsefulNotes/ArcadeGame ''Demon's World'', an effective way of defeating most enemies is to stomp on them. This might be surprising, since the player character carries a gun.

* ''VideoGame/GourmetSentaiBarayaro'' will throw {{Lilliputians}} who tries to perform a ColossalClimb to attack you from the head. You can knock them off, however, and stomp on them.

* ''VideoGame/MarioParty'': A minigame in the fourth game shares a name with this trope, but otherwise averts it, as you instead run them over with a giant wooden robot instead of stomping them.

** Chun-Li can also do it. [[UpToEleven Especially]] in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oneymnSf40 Third Strike.]]''

* In the ''VideoGame/{{Turrican}}'' games, there are some little robots that you can defeat by jumping on them a few times. Rather bizarre for a game which otherwise resembles a mix between Metroid and Contra...
