Common effects include: massive damage, stunning nearby enemies, and/or knocking nearby enemies down or back.
This is for slamming down on the ground, not on characters though often hitting someone directly causes much greater damage to them. If this is unusable without hitting someone directly, then you aren't looking for this tag (see body slamming tag instead). Hop & bop games should generally not be included.
In some games this is used for destroying the ground itself.
