'''Grass''' in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] is an object which first appears as a gameplay mechanic in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. In this appearance and others, characters can pull up the grass to obtain and use various items.
==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' / ''Super Mario Bros. 2''====
In ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', Mario and company can pull on tall blades of red grass (black in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'') emerging from the ground by pressing {{button|nes|B}}. While this often pulls out a [[vegetable]], it can also pull out several other objects: [[Magical Potion]]s, [[bomb]]s, [[Bob-omb|Bob-Omb]]s, [[Red Shell|Turtle Shell]]s, [[Stop Watch]]es, [[coin]]s (in [[Subspace]] only), or [[Rocket]]s. ''Super Mario Advance'' also adds [[Small heart|Heart Radish]]es and large [[turnip]]s called Giant Vegetables, which take longer to pull out. They work just like their normal-sized counterparts, but can hit more enemies, due to their bigger size.

====''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
Grass returns in ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' as an [[e-Reader]] exclusive feature: scanning the [[Blue Green Switch]] will activate grass patches with vegetables below them in the main game. They also appear by default in several [[World-e]] levels - namely [[Vegetable Volley]], [[The ol' Switcheroo]], [[A Sky-High Adventure]], [[Ice Cubed]], [[Ground Work]] and [[Treacherous Halls]]. The grass is colored green to match the vegetable leaves, and turnips are the only vegetables to appear; they are found in both their unripe and ripe forms, as well as the giant turnip that was introduced in ''Super Mario Advance''. Some grass patches are "'''fake roots'''"<ref>Hodgson, David S J. ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 117. "'''''BLOCK-ROCKIN' BEETS!''' Ever wished you could relive ''Super Mario 2'' in the entire main world of ''Super Mario Bros. 3''? Then switch this e-Switch, my plump plumber friend! This crazy device adds a selection of turnips to each and every level. Not only that, but these come in small, medium (as shown in the screen above), and large sizes, as well as fake roots that explode with Coins or Poison Mushrooms that take your Super Mario powers away! Replay the game using turnips to knock down enemies and prizes for more fun that ever.''"</ref> that also hide single coins, five coins, [[1-Up Mushroom]]s, or even [[e-Coin]]s or [[Poison Mushroom]]s, or [[Monty Mole]]s (in Ground Work only).

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Grass (item)}}
[[File:Grass SSB4 Wii U.jpg|thumb|A tuft of grass in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'']]
In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' games, grass tufts first appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' as 2D background decorations in [[Mushroom Kingdom II]], using their appearance from ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. Peach also has an attack, the [[Vegetable (move)|Vegetable]], that acts as her down special and mimics the function of grass in previous appearances to pull up vegetables from the ground.

Grass later appears as an actual [[List of items|item]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]''. When a player pulls on blades of grass emerging from the floor of the stage, any random item that can normally spawn will be plucked into the player's hands, with status or recovery items activating immediately upon being plucked.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', grass returns as an item and also reappears on the Mushroom Kingdom II stage, with their design now more similar to ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]''.

===''Mario Golf'' series===
Grass also has an important role in the [[Mario Golf (series)|''Mario Golf'' series]], where it acts as the lie of the ball, and determines the size of the impact bar. It comes in the form of the [[Fairway]], [[Fast Fairway]], [[Rough]], [[Rough#Heavy Rough|Heavy Rough]] and the [[Green]]. Grass also serves a purpose in [[Mario Tennis (series)|''Mario Tennis'' games]] as a [[Grass Court|court]] with fast speed and low bounce.

|desc=This special grass first appeared in Super Mario Bros. 2, where plucking it revealed hidden items. It works exactly the same way in Smash Bros.—if you pluck the grass, maybe you'll find a game-changing object! If only cleaning an unkempt lawn would reveal such neat things...
|desc2=A patch of overgrown grass with an item buried underneath. Grass like this grew all over the place in Super Mario Bros. 2, and Mario and co. could pull it up to get all kinds of handy items for their quest. It works the same way in this game: pull it up to get an item. Who knows what it'll be?
