Grass (グラス, "Grass") is an item in Super Smash Bros. 4. It appears as a tuft of grass in the ground. Characters who pull up the grass will receive a random item. Should they pick up a status or recovery item, they will receive their effects immediately.

Trophy information

Grass
North America 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...
Europe 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?

Origin

Grass appears in Super Mario Bros. 2. When grass is pulled, an item will be produced. Usually the item is a vegetable, but sometimes it could yield a Magic Potion, a Stop Watch, a POW Block, a bomb, a Turtle Shell, or a Rocket. In Subspace, pulling grass rewards the player with coins that can be spent at the end-of-level slot machine.

In the GBA remake, Super Mario Advance, players could also pull up hearts from the ground, which healed them immediately; this may have inspired the instant effect-granting properties of any plucked status or recovery items in Super Smash Bros. 4.

Trivia

  • Bayonetta has a unique animation when plucking grass, uprooting the item with a kick, then grabbing the item in midair. This references how she picked up weapons from the ground in her home games.
