SubTrope of CoupDeGrace, although it isn't ''necessarily'' the actual killing blow -- it can be more for dramatic effect than necessity, but it can be the ''[[OneHitKill only]]'' blow. SisterTrope to KickThemWhileTheyAreDown, as it's specifically about stomping, and about the dramatic impact of that movement. The FinishingMove to a definitive (and literal) CurbStompBattle. Also a SubTrope of CrueltyByFeet, if the character is not heroic (usually).

* ''VideoGame/FightsInTightSpaces'':
** The Stomp card deals high damage to a foe, but requires you to knock them down on the same turn with a throw card. When successful, the damage dealt by the throw and stomp together will be enough to kill most lesser enemies; However, throws cannot be used against [[KungFuProofMook Heavy enemies]], meaning that Stomp cards will be completely unusable against them.
** The Spiked Stamp card is a variant of Stomp, dealing no direct damage normally but instead inflicting a high [[DamageOverTime Bleed]] value to the foe; While it takes 3 turns before it overtakes Stomp in damage, it ultimately deals more and will ignore an enemy's block value.
