HistoryEdit
Super Mario seriesEdit
Super Mario Bros. 2 / Super Mario AdvanceEdit
Turnips in Super Mario Bros. 2 and its 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[1] or Huge Vegetables,[2] in Super Mario Advance can hit more enemies, due to their bigger size, but take longer to pull out.
BS Super Mario USAEdit
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.
Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3Edit
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.
Super Mario OdysseyEdit
Turnips in Super Mario Odyssey are functionally identical to their appearances in previous games. However, there are also three golden turnips, each giving a Power Moon when thrown into the stew at Peronza Plaza.
Super Smash Bros. seriesEdit
- Main article: Vegetable (move)
Turnips (referred to as simply "vegetables" in Super Smash Bros. Melee's trophy description) in the Super Smash Bros. series are part of 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 damage and 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 / Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate all feature the same move. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate introduces Daisy as a playable character, with an identical moveset to Peach, including Vegetable.
Mario & Luigi seriesEdit
Ripe and unripe turnips in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and its remake are two of the three possible objects that Wiggler can pull out during his boss fight, after watering the garden. Turnips in both the Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser side-game of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions and the Bowser Jr.'s Journey side-game of Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey are thrown by Shy Guys to attack their targets; furthermore, a larger turnip is thrown by Shy Guys during their Special Skill, Throw the Fight.
WarioWare: D.I.Y. ShowcaseEdit
A turnip in WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase is the object used by Mario in the microgame Mario Adv. to defeat an enemy.
Mario Kart seriesEdit
Planted turnips in Mario Kart 7 and Mario Kart Tour appear in the Shy Guy Bazaar course. A Turnip in the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass is the emblem representing the Turnip Cup.
Captain Toad: Treasure TrackerEdit
Turnips in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker and its ports are objects that can be plucked from Pluck Patches by Captain Toad or Toadette and then thrown to attack enemies. They award one coin when they hit a surface or an enemy. Turnips can also be used to unlock or discover new pathways by throwing them at obstacles such as POW blocks. In the minecart levels of the game, Captain Toad rides a minecart full of turnips that can be thrown in many angles at his surrounding environment. Some levels also contain turnip-shooting cannons, starting with Turnip Cannon Jungle. Additionally, Captain Toad can throw turnips at Super Gems to obtain them without having to grab them himself.
Giant turnips also return from Super Mario Advance during the boss battle against Wingo. At the end of the battle, the final giant turnip thrown at Wingo by Captain Toad causes the bird boss to accidentally swallow the massive vegetable and become too bloated to fly, resulting in Captain Toad's victory.
MinecraftEdit
Turnips in the Super Mario Mash-up of Minecraft replace potatoes.
Paper Mario seriesEdit
Paper Mario: Color SplashEdit
- Main article: Turnip (Thing)
A turnip in Paper Mario: Color Splash is a Thing that appears in the entrance of the Sacred Forest, blocking the Warp Pipe to the rest of the course. All eleven members of the yellow Rescue Squad must be found in order to pull it free. When it is used in battle, it will become sliced and the slices will shred the enemies (and the screen), like the Scissors Thing in Paper Mario: Sticker Star.

| These vegetables, which first appeared in Super Mario Bros. 2, can be plucked from the ground and hurled at enemies. Unlike regular veggies, they often sport eyes or even faces; in fact, when Princess Peach plucks them from the ground to use as projectiles, the expressions on their faces dictate how much damage they'll do. | ||||||||
Captain Toad: Treasure TrackerEdit
- Instruction manual: Pluck one out of the ground and carry it around, and then throw it at things.
