'''Vegetables''' (also known as '''Veggies''') are plants that are found in the [[Earth|Real World]], yet can be planted in Mushroom Kingdom and [[Subcon]]. They can be pulled out of the ground and can be thrown at enemies to damage or defeat them. They are first introduced in ''[[Yume Kojo: Doki Doki Panic]]'' (a [[Turnip]] only) and the ''Mario'' game, ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''.

[[File:Vegetable_SMB2.png|left|thumb|200px|Unripe and ripe vegetables, and the red grass pulled to acquire them]]
Vegetables are found in [[Subcon]] in the game ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. They can be plucked with the B button and thrown at enemies. There are two kinds, unripe and ripe. The ripe ones are much larger than the unripe but they're still just as effective when throwing. Almost all the red grass in the game is a vegetable when plucked. Some of the ideas for what kinds of vegetables they are is turnips, onions, beets, radishes, and other root vegetables.
Vegetables (also called '''Large Vegetables'''<ref>{{cite|author=Stratton, Bryan|title=''Super Mario Advance'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|page=11|date=June 7, 2001|isbn=0-7615-3633-7|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=en-us}}</ref>) are first found in [[Subcon]] in ''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' and ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. They can be plucked with {{button|nes|B}} and thrown at enemies. '''Unripened vegetables'''<ref name=NES/><ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario Bros. 2'' Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console electronic manual|publisher=Nintendo|language=en-gb|page=10}}</ref> (also called '''Sprouts''',<ref name=NP/><ref name=NPG/> '''Tiny Vegetables''',<ref name=SNES/> or '''Small Vegetables'''<ref name=Advance/>) are smaller than the ripe ones but are just as effective when throwing. Almost all the red [[grass]] in the game is a vegetable when plucked. Vegetables can appear as [[turnip]]s (in Worlds 1, 3, and 5, the grass worlds), pumpkins / bell peppers (in Worlds 2 and 6, the desert worlds), beets (in World 4, the ice world), parsnips (in World 7, the cloud world), tomatoes and onions (in World 7-2, from the Dream Machine), and radishes (in World 7; ''Doki Doki Panic'' only). If four large ones are picked up in the same stage, picking up what is supposed to be the fifth one will reveal a [[Stop Watch]]. In the remakes, the pumpkin/bell-pepper-like vegetables are green instead of red, and have replaced the tomatoes in World 7-2. Additionally, the ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'' remake adds large turnips called [[Giant Vegetable]]s, which take longer to pull out and can hit more enemies in succession.


These are the only effective weapon against the evil [[Wart]] in the last level. The pale vegetable in the bottom right side of the picture to the left is only seen when thrown out of Wart's [[Nightmare Machine]].
[[Wart]] is said to hate vegetables in the game's story; he needs to be force-fed six vegetables to be beaten. Tomatoes and onions are only seen when thrown out of Wart's [[Dream Machine]].

Vegetables returned back in the game ''[[BS Super Mario USA]]''. They are used in the same manner in the predecessor. The game introduces giant vegetables that can't be picked up. Instead, these giant plants only appear as spells cast by a character who appears on the screen as a card.
Vegetables returned in ''[[BS Super Mario USA]]'', where they were used in an identical manner as in ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. The game introduced giant turnips, which could not be picked up; instead, these giant vegetables were thrown by Princess Peach off-screen when the game's time reached certain points in the script. The giant turnip took out any enemy in its path, but it could also hurt the player's character. Likewise, black giant turnips with angry faces were also thrown by the villains from off-screen.

Using e-Cards, vegetables can be brought into ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' thanks to the [[Blue Green Switch]]. They can be used in the same manner. The game also features ''pickable'' giant vegetables, which first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Advance]]''.
In ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', scanning the [[Blue Green Switch]] will activate [[grass|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]]. Note that in this game, only turnips appear, in both their unripe and ripe forms, as well as the giant turnip that was introduced in ''Super Mario Advance''. In this game, vegetables can defeat certain enemies like [[Dry Bones]] and [[Chain Chomps]] instantly, but the player will only float on water if holding one, requiring it to be thrown away in order to swim.

Vegetables appeared in some episodes of ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]''. Mario and Luigi use them in various episodes to defeat their enemies, the [[Koopa Troop|Koopa Pack]] and [[Bowser|King Koopa]] like in ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. The vegetable-throwing sound from ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' is also commonly used in the show even for things such as the firing of a [[Bullet Bill]] and the throwing of a [[fireball]].

Vegetables were given a minor appearance in one of the ''[[Mario vs. Wario]]'' comics. The first page of this comic showed Mario recalling "playing in the garden" with [[Wario]] when the two were friends; during this scene, several vegetables are present and Wario even picks one up ''Super Mario Bros. 2''-style. Wario, too, remembers this garden scene on the next page, although his memory is a bit less fair: He recalls Mario asking for help in the garden and taking a row of turnips as his own, leaving Wario to tackle the [[Piranha Plant]]s on his own.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', [[Princess Peach]] can also throw these items as her down & B attack, which itself is called "[[Vegetable (move)|Vegetable]]". Almost every one she plucks has a different expression and pertains to the amount of damage it will inflict. There is also a Vegetable trophy.

First appearance Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic (1987, overall)
Super Mario Bros. 2 (1988, Super Mario franchise)
Latest appearance Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition (2024)

Vegetables[1][2][3][4][5] (also shortened to veggies)[4][5] appear in the Super Mario franchise as objects that can pulled out of the ground and thrown at enemies to damage or defeat them. They are introduced in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic and Super Mario Bros. 2. The most commonly recurring vegetable in the franchise is the turnip, which has made several appearances following Super Mario Bros. 2.

History[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic / Super Mario Bros. 2 / Super Mario Advance[edit]

Unripe and ripe vegetables, and the red grass pulled to acquire them

Vegetables (also called Large Vegetables[6]) are first found in Subcon in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic and Super Mario Bros. 2. They can be plucked with B Button and thrown at enemies. Unripened vegetables[1][7] (also called Sprouts,[2][3] Tiny Vegetables,[4] or Small Vegetables[5]) are smaller than the ripe ones but are just as effective when throwing. Almost all the red grass in the game is a vegetable when plucked. Vegetables can appear as turnips (in Worlds 1, 3, and 5, the grass worlds), pumpkins / bell peppers (in Worlds 2 and 6, the desert worlds), beets (in World 4, the ice world), parsnips (in World 7, the cloud world), tomatoes and onions (in World 7-2, from the Dream Machine), and radishes (in World 7; Doki Doki Panic only). If four large ones are picked up in the same stage, picking up what is supposed to be the fifth one will reveal a Stop Watch. In the remakes, the pumpkin/bell-pepper-like vegetables are green instead of red, and have replaced the tomatoes in World 7-2. Additionally, the Super Mario Advance remake adds large turnips called Giant Vegetables, which take longer to pull out and can hit more enemies in succession.

Wart is said to hate vegetables in the game's story; he needs to be force-fed six vegetables to be beaten. Tomatoes and onions are only seen when thrown out of Wart's Dream Machine.

BS Super Mario USA[edit]

Vegetables returned in BS Super Mario USA, where they were used in an identical manner as in Super Mario Bros. 2. The game introduced giant turnips, which could not be picked up; instead, these giant vegetables were thrown by Princess Peach off-screen when the game's time reached certain points in the script. The giant turnip took out any enemy in its path, but it could also hurt the player's character. Likewise, black giant turnips with angry faces were also thrown by the villains from off-screen.

Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]

In Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3, 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. Note that in this game, only turnips appear, in both their unripe and ripe forms, as well as the giant turnip that was introduced in Super Mario Advance. In this game, vegetables can defeat certain enemies like Dry Bones and Chain Chomps instantly, but the player will only float on water if holding one, requiring it to be thrown away in order to swim.

The Super Mario Bros. Super Show![edit]

Vegetables appear in some episodes of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!. Mario and Luigi use them in various episodes to defeat their enemies, the Koopa Pack and King Koopa like in Super Mario Bros. 2. The vegetable-throwing sound from Super Mario Bros. 2 is also commonly used in the show even for things such as the firing of a Bullet Bill and the throwing of a fireball.

Mario vs. Wario[edit]

Vegetables were given a minor appearance in one of the Mario vs. Wario comics. The first page of this comic showed Mario recalling "playing in the garden" with Wario when the two were friends; during this scene, several vegetables are present and Wario even picks one up Super Mario Bros. 2-style. Wario, too, remembers this garden scene on the next page, although his memory is a little less fair: he recalls Mario asking for help in the garden and taking a row of turnips as his own, leaving Wario to tackle the Piranha Plants on his own.

Super Smash Bros. series[edit]

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the Summit stage features vegetables from Ice Climber that act as food. When they are eaten, they make a special, different sound effect from the other foods, the same sound effect used in the original game when Popo or Nana collect a vegetable.
