Grass is a recurring object in the Mario franchise and Super Smash Bros. series. Its first Mario-related appearance is in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic, released overseas as Super Mario Bros. 2.

Description[]

For the most part, grass has little difference from real-world grass, but in many of its appearances, Mario and other playable characters can pull a tuft of grass to uproot an item or object, often a vegetable. Most grass is either light green or dark green, but in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic grass is depicted as being black, changed to red for Super Mario Bros. 2 and its reissues.

In Super Mario series[]

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

Grass is an object that player can have Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, or Toad pull from the ground by pressing B Button. While most tufts of grass often pull out a vegetable, it can also pull out a Magical Potion, bomb, Bob-Omb, Turtle Shell, Stop Watch, a Rocket, or, in Subspace, a coin.

In Super Mario Advance, some grass has a Heart Radish or a Giant Vegetable, which is like a regular vegetable except it takes longer to pull out.

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

Grass only appears as an e-Reader feature, in which scanning the Blue Green Switch card adds grass patches in various areas. Grass also appears in several World-e levels, including Vegetable Volley, The ol' Switcheroo, A Sky-High Adventure, Ice Cubed, Ground Work, and Treacherous Halls. There are regular tufts of grass that can be pulled out to reveal a type of turnip or Giant Vegetable. There are also fake roots containing either a coin, five coins, a 1-Up Mushroom, a Poison Mushroom, or an e-Coin. In Ground Work, they can also reveal a Monty Mole.

Unlike Super Mario Bros. 2, grass is now colored green to be consistent with the turnip's leaves.

In Mario Golf series[]

Grass is frequently featured as a surface that the ball can land on, especially in regular golf courses without any gimmicks.

In Mario Tennis series[]

The series features a recurring court named Grass Court, which has a grassy surface, giving the ball fast speed but a low bounce.

Crossover appearances[]

Super Smash Bros. series[]

Super Smash Bros. Melee[]

Grass tufts make a background appearance in Mushroom Kingdom II, having a similar sprite as in Super Mario All-Stars remake of Super Mario Bros. 2. Since this game, Peach was given a down special move named Vegetable, which involves her pulling a grass tuft to pull out a vegetable.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U[]

Grass is featured as an actual item, being based on its appearance from Super Mario Bros. 2 and even retaining its red coloration. If a fighter plucks on grass, a random item is plucked into their hand. If a status or recovery item is pulled out, it immediately restores the fighter.

In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, there is a trophy of grass.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[]

Grass returns as an item, functioning the same as before. Aside from this, grass returns as a background element in Mushroom Kingdom II, now being closer in design to its Super Mario All-Stars sprites.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U trophy[]

SSB4 Grass Trophy
Grass
NA 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...
EU 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?
