'''Turnips''' in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] are [[vegetable]]s that are usually used for defense. They first appear in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' and its {{wp|Western world|Western}} counterpart, ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''.

 

====''Super Mario Bros. 2'' / ''Super Mario Advance''====

Turnips in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' and its [[Super Mario Advance|remake]] are objects planted in the ground everywhere in [[Subcon]], especially grassy regions, and can be picked up and thrown at enemies to defeat them. The [[Dream Machine]] can also produce turnips which can be used as weapons for the player to damage Wart.

 

Giant turnips, called '''Giant Vegetables'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario Advance'' North American instruction booklet|page=26|author=Nintendo|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=American English|date=2001}}</ref> or '''Huge Vegetables''',<ref>{{cite|author=Stratton, Bryan|date=June 7, 2001|isbn=0-7615-3633-7|title=''Super Mario Advance'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|page=66|quote=Pluck the plant on the platform for a Giant Vegetable, jump up onto the next platform to the right, and hit all five Ninjis with the Huge Vegetable, snagging a 1UP and a Heart.}}</ref> in ''Super Mario Advance'' can hit more enemies, due to their bigger size, but take longer to pull out.

Turnips in ''[[BS Super Mario USA]]'' are functionally identical to their appearance in ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. Giant turnips are thrown by Princess Peach from off-screen during certain intervals of the voice drama. It can take out any enemy except for the end bosses of each world and Wart but can also do damage to the player. Giant black turnips with angry faces are also thrown from off-screen but by the bad guys.

Ripe and unripe turnips in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' can appear when using the [[Blue Green Switch]], whose [[e-Reader]] card simply refers to them as "'''vegetables'''." Turnips in [[World-e]] appear in several levels, namely [[Vegetable Volley]], [[The ol' Switcheroo]], [[A Sky-High Adventure]], [[Ice Cubed]], [[Ground Work]] and [[Treacherous Halls]]. Giant turnips also return from ''Super Mario Advance''. Turnips cannot be picked up by [[Frog Mario]].

Turnips (referred to as simply "vegetables" in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''{{'}}s [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] description) in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] are part of [[Princess Peach|Peach]]'s down special move, originating from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', where she picks up turnips and using them as projectiles. The facial expression of the turnip determines the [[smashwiki:Damage|damage]] and [[smashwiki:Knockback|knockback]] it causes, such as how winking turnips deal more damage and knockback than their smiling counterparts. The strongest variety of turnip, the sick turnip, is rare, but extremely powerful. Her returning appearances in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' all feature the same move. ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' introduces [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]] as a playable character, with an identical moveset to Peach, including Vegetable.
