Big Turnips are vegetables introduced in BS Super Mario USA. They are a much larger version of regular Turnips. Due to their size, they take longer to pluck and can hit more enemies.

History

BS Super Mario USA

In BS Super Mario USA, they are thrown in threes by an angry Peach; these can also hit the player. The villains can also do this, though their veggies are black with angry faces on them.

Super Mario Advance series

Super Mario Advance

In Super Mario Advance, Big Turnips sometimes replace what were originally regular Turnips in the original Super Mario Bros. 2.

Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3

Big Turnips return in Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3, in World-e levels like Vegetable Volley. They can also be found in the main game levels upon scanning the Blue Green Switch; they typically appear in Giant Land.

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story / Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey

In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and its remake, during the Wiggler boss battle, two Leaf Guys can appear on the upper screen carrying a Big Turnip to toss against Bowser. If he vacuums them before they can, the Big Turnip will land on the Wiggler, completely turning him calm.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker

Big Turnips reappear in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker and its ports as part of the battles against Wingo, who summons them to hit Captain Toad, but can be plucked and thrown back at him to defeat him.
