After playing as Peach in training mode and fooling around for a while, I began wondering things about her vegetable (down+b). Which vegetables appear the most frequently? Which do the most damage? Which have the highest knockback? Do determine this, I decided to conduct an experiment. In training mode, as Peach, I used vegetable 100 times, recording which vegetables appeared on which draws, their descriptions, how much knockback they had, and how much damage they did It took about an hour to get my results. Here are the vegetables and their properties (Note, the maximum degree of power was used on each throw).

Really happy Turnip:2 ^ eyes, big mouth. Damage:8 Knockback:low Appeared in Draws:1,53. Probability:1/50, 2%

Happy turnip:regular eyes, generic smile. Damage: 8 knockback:low Appeared in Draws:2,4,6,9,12,13,14,15,16,19,22,23,24,25,27,28, 30,31,32,33,34,36
,37,38,39,41,43,45,47,48,49,50,52,54,55,57,59,60,6 3,65,69,70,72,73,74,
76,77,78,80,81,83,84,85,86,88,91,92,93,94,95,100 Probability 61/100, 61%

Winking Turnip:lleft eye is half of a thin, diagnol diamond (almost resembles the > character), the right eye is a medium size circle. Damage:12 Knockback:low Appeared in Draws:11,26,46,56,64,71,79,89 Probability:2/25, 8%

Bobomb:looks like a normal Bob-omb (also like a bomb, can be thrown just once) Damage:35 Knockback:high Appeared in Draws:17 Probabaility:1/100, 1%

Death Turnip:2 short, diagnol lines running parallel to each other per eye, stiched up frown. Damage:36 Knockback:Medium Appeared in Draws:58,66 Probability:1/50, 2%.

Unfocused Turnip:2 small dots for eyes, eyes are deep set. Generic smiley face for mouth. Damage:18 Knockback:low Appeared in Draws:62 Probability:1/100, 1%.

I know there are other things that can materialise via vegetable including:Mr. Saturn, Beam Swords, Lips sticks,Home run bats,Poke Balls (unconfirmed), and flippers (unconfirmed and unlikely). However, I didn't went to spend all day using vegetable and neglecting the fun aspects of the game, so I stopped at 100. I'll probably do another 100 vegetable run, and update my list. Also, all vegetable attacks were used in training mode on Fox in the Final Destination level, using maximum throwing power. PEACH WAS NOT HARMED IN THE GATHERING OF THIS DATA (only Fox)

Hasn't this study already been done? If you were to refine it, I think you'd need to perform the move many more times for the data to be statistically relevant.

The unfocused one does a LOT of knockback.

900!!

The only things that will ever be pulled by down + b with Peach in SSBM are turnips, bob-ombs, Mr. Saturns and beam swords.

Also, the probabilities have never been really proven. I get at least 1 grandfather (death) turnip per game, usually 2. Occasionally 3 and sometimes 2 + 1 bob-omb or 3 + 1 bob-omb. I also often get 2 grandfather/bob-ombs/grandfather + bob-omb in a row.

It's all about the luck of the draw :P

Those percentages seem about correct.

this is pretty helpful when chosing which turnips to make an attempt to hit...assuming these are correct...thanks for the info though...more that i'd ever want to observe with my time...
