Uproots are tuber-like enemies found in Super Mario Odyssey, most commonly found in the Steam Gardens of the Wooded Kingdom. Aside from Steam Gardens, an Uproot is also found in a secret area from Bubblaine in the Seaside Kingdom and the Culmina Crater on the Darker Side of the Moon Kingdom.

Description[]

They are pale green bulbs with tiny, root-like hairs on top, leaf-like hands, and extendable roots for legs, and also sport black sclera red beady pupils. When they sprout from their spawning point (a circle of potting soil), they wear a flower pot on their head, which Mario can knock off with Cappy's help.

Behavior[]

Uproots attack Mario by extending their thorny legs and leaping towards him, assaulting the plumber from above.

When their flower pot is knocked away, Mario can actually use Cappy to Capture an Uproot. Using the ability to stretch its legs, Mario can reach higher places as an Uproot, leading to secret paths and Power Moons inside nuts. Mario also can make use of an Uproot to fight Torkdrift, a mechanical Spindrift programmed to steal the Soirée Bouquet flowers in the kingdom's Secret Garden.

Appearances[]

Super Speedstar RPG[]

Uproots appear as enemies in the Tanglewreck Woods. They attack by extending their legs and then snapping forwards towards their target.

Trivia[]

• Their name comes from the word "uproot", which means to tear up a plant off the ground with roots and all.
