'''Pumpkins''' occasionally have functional roles in [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'']] games. Within the games, they commonly take on the appearance of '''{{wp|jack-o'-lantern}}s''', a type of {{wp|Halloween}} decoration, and are consequently encountered in autumnal or spooky environments. The role pumpkins typically fulfill in the franchise is to release collectibles or grant points when destroyed.
Pumpkins and jack-o'-lanterns are also employed stylistically within the franchise, replacing the heads of [[Jumping Piranha Plant]]s in the [[Fall]] mode of ''[[Super Mario World]]''; being the dominant motif of the [[Pumpkin Zone]] in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]''; and serving as the basis of the [[Prancer]] and [[Pumpkin Kart]] in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'']] series. Sentient jack-o'-lanterns, called [[Splunkin]]s, appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''

[[Jack O'Goomba]], an enemy type appearing in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', is a [[Goomba]] with a jack-o'-lantern mounted on its head. The pumpkin fully protects the Goomba from [[stomp]] attacks and allows the enemy to easily bounce back from one [[spin]] attack, though it shatters in the process. Regardless, the enemy can instantly be defeated with a [[Ground Pound]] or by touching it while in [[Rainbow Mario|Rainbow form]].

In ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'', the [[Pumpkin Panic]] minigame has [[Ashley]] protecting a pumpkin patch from [[mandrake]]s. She can shoot magic at the mandrakes to turn them into pumpkins, then walk into the pumpkins to knock away and destroy them. Kicked pumpkins can also defeat mandrakes. Given time, a pumpkin eventually flickers and vanishes. If there are multiple pumpkins in a line, Ashley can kick one pumpkin into another to cause a chain reaction; the first pumpkin in a row grants 100 points when destroyed, with the number of points earned per pumpkin increasing as more of them are destroyed in the chain. Pumpkins other than the first in a chain grant make mandrakes defeated by them worth more points. Pumpkins produce purple orbs when destroyed, which charge up Ashley's special ability—a torrent of magic that turns all normal mandrakes currently spawned on the play field into pumpkins. After each night phase, pumpkins fall from the sky to fill the area, allowing the player to earn lots of points. Every other night phase, a large mandrake immune to Ashley's normal attack appears. Therefore, the primary way to damage it is to kick pumpkins into it.

[[File:UnknownBreakablePumpkinSMBW.png|thumb|A pumpkin in ''Super Mario Bros. Wonder'']]
''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'' features a large, blocky type of pumpkin in the course [[Upshroom Downshroom]]. Appearing in various sizes, these pumpkins are typically stacked on top of each other, acting as platforms and walls for both the player character and the enemies. In this game, the player character can destroy a pumpkin with a [[Ground Pound]], by jumping or [[Drill Mario|drilling]] into it from below, by smacking it with their trunk while in [[Elephant Mario|Elephant form]], or by throwing a [[Gamboo]] at it. In doing so, the pumpkin usually reveals something such as a group of [[coin]]s, a [[Talking Flower]], or, in one case, a [[Wonder Flower]]. At the end of the course, there are several pumpkins placed in staircase formation that can help the player character reach the top of the [[Goal Pole]].
During the course's [[Wonder Effect]] sequence, pumpkins become jack-o'-lanterns. In this instance, many of them are bounced into the air by moving [[Mushroom Platform]]s. The player can interact with them the same as with regular pumpkins, but throughout much of this sequence, they do not produce anything when destroyed, the only exceptions being the two jack-o'-lanterns to the sides of the [[Wonder Seed]], which release coins. If a bouncing jack-o'-lantern is destroyed, another is launched from below the course to replace it soon after.
