History Main / BellyFlopCrushing

* ''VideoGame/{{Bug}}'': The final boss [[GiantSpider Queen Cadavra]], attempts this on the titular Bug, which is easily avoidable. It's also the only attack of hers that [[TacticalSuicideBoss leaves herself open]] on the platform for Bug to sting her fat butt.

* King K. Rool uses a belly flop attack in ''[[VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry Donkey Kong Land]]''. It pops up again in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'', where it's one of his Smash attacks.

Compare TheGlomp: a character may do this in affection instead of aggression. But if they are massive enough, the one they are hugging may get squashed anyway. The same applies to SleepSquashing.

Usually intersects with GroundPound. Compare LivingCrashpad, ButtSticker, and AssKicksYou. Contrast TrampolineTummy.

* In ''Manga/OnePiece'', this is how the pirate Machvise fights, sometimes combining it with a ShieldBash. His Devil Fruit power lets him increase his weight by the ton, so it's often ''very'' effective. He meets his end when his opponent [[OurGiantsAreBigger Hajruden]] counters with an uppercut that manages to overpower his maximum weight.

* Jessie and James got flattened under a Snorlax's belly in one ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' episode. Its trainer woke it up and it ate a pile of thorns, then went back to sleep and rolled on them.
** Ash won the battle against Greta the Frontier Brain when his Snorlax flattened her Medicham.
** Cilan captured a fleeing crook by calling out his Crustle (a crab with a massive block of sediment as its "shell") in mid-air, and landing right on the criminal.
** In an episode of ''Sun and Moon'' parodying sports anime, a Snorlax uses Pulverizing Pancake to win a baseball game against Team Rocket. Wobbuffet gets squished flat.

* ''VideoGame/BattleAxe'' has it's second boss - a GiantCrab - who can somehow jump, really high. And will use it's jumping ability to crush you beneath itself.

* The Sleeping Dogs from ''VideoGame/SpyroTheDragon1998'' use this as their main attack, waking up, jumping and landing on Spyro. The Beasts in Alpine Ridge belly flop on Spyro as well. The crystal bears in Crystal Islands also do this to Spyro if you get too close to them in ''Spyro Year Of The Dragon''.
* Gulp from ''VideoGame/Spyro2RiptosRage'' tries to jump on Spyro to crush him under his weight during the fight against him.

A [[TheBigGuy big]] or [[HighFatIndex fat]] character launches themself into the air. On the way down, they use their mass as a weapon, landing on a smaller character who gets SquashedFlat against the big character's stomach. This may be preceded by a ShadowOfImpendingDoom before the big character falls. If they have both the strength and the corpulence to perform this, they are probably {{Acrofatic}}.

Popularized by {{Professional Wrestling}}, where this is most commonly known as a "splash". For a BouncingBattler, this may be a favorite move.
