'''Turnips''' in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] are [[vegetable]]s that are usually used for defense. They first appear in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' and its {{wp|Western world|Western}} counterpart, ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''.

====''Super Mario Bros. 2'' / ''Super Mario Advance''====

Turnips in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' and its [[Super Mario Advance|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'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario Advance'' North American instruction booklet|page=26|author=Nintendo|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=American English|date=2001}}</ref> or '''Huge Vegetables''',<ref>{{cite|author=Stratton, Bryan|date=June 7, 2001|isbn=0-7615-3633-7|title=''Super Mario Advance'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|page=66|quote=Pluck the plant on the platform for a Giant Vegetable, jump up onto the next platform to the right, and hit all five Ninjis with the Huge Vegetable, snagging a 1UP and a Heart.}}</ref> in ''Super Mario Advance'' can hit more enemies, due to their bigger size, but take longer to pull out.

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.

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]].

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]].

Turnips (referred to as simply "vegetables" in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''{{'}}s [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] description) in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] are part of [[Princess Peach|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 [[smashwiki:Damage|damage]] and [[smashwiki:Knockback|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]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' all feature the same move. ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' introduces [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]] as a playable character, with an identical moveset to Peach, including Vegetable.

Ripe and unripe turnips in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|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 Guy]]s to attack their targets; furthermore, a larger turnip is thrown by Shy Guys during their [[Special Skill (Mario & Luigi series)|Special Skill]], Throw the Fight.

Planted turnips in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' appear in the [[3DS Shy Guy Bazaar|Shy Guy Bazaar]] course. A Turnip in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' is the emblem representing the [[Turnip Cup]].

Turnips in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' and its [[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Nintendo Switch / Nintendo 3DS)|ports]] are objects that can be plucked from [[Pluck Patch]]es 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 Cannon|turnip-shooting cannons]], starting with [[Turnip Cannon Jungle]]. Additionally, Captain Toad can throw turnips at [[Super Gem]]s to obtain them without having to grab them himself.

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)|Scissors]] Thing in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''.

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.
