Peach, pulling a normal vegetable from the ground.

Vegetable is Peach's Down Special Move. It involves her picking large turnips from the ground. These turnips function similarly to items, though they disappear if they touch the ground. The faces on the Vegetables depict the damage and knockback that will be given, and are picked randomly, though better faces are, of course, rarer. Sometimes Peach will pull different items from the ground, including Beam Swords, Bob-ombs and Mr. Saturns. Vegetables fall very slowly, and as such, it is very easy to grab one after having been hit by one. As such, turnips will disappear in mid-air after a certain amount of time.

Peach, with the rare Vegetable.

In Brawl, Vegetables have a shorter overall presence. They disappear when they hit the ground rather than going through it. If Peach is interrupted while plucking one from the ground, it will remain in the ground for a brief period, during which anyone can pluck it out. They also disappear upon hitting a shield or attack, rather than bouncing. In addition, the chances of Peach pulling out something other than a turnip is greater. Size scaling is more refined in Brawl, so if Peach grows/shrinks while she is holding a Vegetable, they will also change in size with her.

Origin

Vegetables were some of the main weapons in Super Mario Bros. 2, the others being the enemies themselves. Though they closely resemble Daikon radishes, some players identify them as turnips.

Trivia

  • In Brawl, if one plucks out a Beam Sword while using this move, the sword's range will be severely decreased. After about a minute of wielding it, the picking up an item sound will be heard and Peach will be able to use it normally. This glitch can also be canceled by dropping the sword and picking it up again. After doing so, the sword will have all of its range back.
  • The turnip with the sick face or dot-shaped eyes is Peach's strongest attack, doing 36% damage with high knockback, and can still be grabbed in the air and thrown again. The chance of getting this is 1/58.
