In ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', Mario and company can pull on tall blades of red grass (black in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'') emerging from the ground by pressing {{button|nes|B}}. While this often pulls out a [[vegetable]], it can also pull out several other objects: [[Magical Potion]]s, [[Bomb (object)|bombs]], [[Bob-omb|Bob-Omb]]s, [[Red Shell|shell]]s, [[Stop Watch]]es, [[coin]]s (in [[Subspace]] only), or [[Rocket]]s.

While vegetables made their 3D ''Mario'' debut in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'', grass is replaced by [[Pluck Patch]]es, which work the same way. A very similar element to grass is the [[Item Handle]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', which works the same way.
Grass returns in ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' as an [[E-Reader]] exclusive feature: scanning the [[Blue Green Switch]] will activate grass patches with vegetables below them in the main game.

The grass is colored green to match the vegetable leaves, and turnips are the only vegetables to appear; they are found in both their unripe and ripe forms, as well as the giant turnip that was introduced in ''Super Mario Advance''. Some grass patches also hide single coins, five coins, [[1-Up Mushroom]]s, or even [[e-Coin]]s or [[Poison Mushroom]]s (in Vegetable Volley only), or [[Monty Mole]]s (in Ground Work only).


===''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''===
Grass tufts appear in [[Mushroom Kingdom II]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', though they are mere 2D background decorations. Inspired by its function in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', grass returns as an [[List of items|item]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. When a player pulls on blades of grass emerging from the floor of the stage, any random item will be plucked into the player's hands, with status or recovery items activating immediately upon being plucked. However, vegetables cannot be plucked from grass, although that is [[Vegetable (move)|Peach's down special move]]. Grass has a reddish coloring in these games. As Mushroom Kingdom II returns in ''Ultimate'', the grass tufts there also return, though their look is more accurate towards ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]''.

Peach pulling on a tuft of grass in Super Mario Bros. 2

Grass is a common world element encountered in various Mario titles, and first appears as a gameplay mechanic in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic and Super Mario Bros. 2. In most appearances, characters can pull up the grass to obtain and use various items.

History

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

In Super Mario Bros. 2, Mario and company can pull on tall blades of red grass (black in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic) emerging from the ground by pressing B Button. While this often pulls out a vegetable, it can also pull out several other objects: Magical Potions, bombs, Bob-Ombs, shells, Stop Watches, coins (in Subspace only), or Rockets. Super Mario Advance also adds Heart Radishes and large turnips called Giant Vegetables, which take longer to pull out. They work just like their normal-sized counterparts, but can hit more enemies, due to their bigger size.

Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3

Grass returns in Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 as an E-Reader exclusive feature: 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. The grass is colored green to match the vegetable leaves, and turnips are the only vegetables to appear; they are found in both their unripe and ripe forms, as well as the giant turnip that was introduced in Super Mario Advance. Some grass patches also hide single coins, five coins, 1-Up Mushrooms, or even e-Coins or Poison Mushrooms (in Vegetable Volley only), or Monty Moles (in Ground Work only).

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker

In Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker and its Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS ports, grass is replaced by Pluck Patches, which work the same way.

Super Smash Bros. series

In the Super Smash Bros. games, grass tufts first appear in Super Smash Bros. Melee as 2D background decorations in Mushroom Kingdom II, using their appearance from Super Mario Bros. 2. Peach also has an attack, the Vegetable, that acts as her down special and mimics the function of grass in previous appearances to pull up vegetables from the ground.

Grass later appears as an actual item in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. When a player pulls on blades of grass emerging from the floor of the stage, any random item that can normally spawn will be plucked into the player's hands, with status or recovery items activating immediately upon being plucked.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, grass returns as an item and also reappears on the Mushroom Kingdom II stage, with their design now more similar to Super Mario All-Stars.

Mario Golf series

Grass also has an important role in the Mario Golf series, where it acts as the lie of the ball, and determines the size of the impact bar. It comes in the form of the Fairway, Fast Fairway, Rough, Heavy Rough and the Green. Grass also serves a purpose in Mario Tennis games as a court with fast speed and low bounce.

Grass File:SSB4TrophyGrass.png NES Super Mario Bros. 2 (10/1988) 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... 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?
