No, it wouldn't. I might drill a hole straight through, but it would not be destructuve enough to break up a planet. Now if we're talking something that has a decent amount of mass, then yes it could.

Thank you; Thank you

Actually, I'm going to have to agree with cauldron borne on this one. Think of the marshmellow vs. earth like this: A mid-sized assualt rifle round traveling at near light speeds vs. a watermelon. It is for sure going to be either A) explode or most likely, B) split into 2 or more pieces. In both scenarios, the world would come to an "end." I don't know what might happen if the marshmellow hit water though.

OMG I CAN SEE SADDAM HUSSEINZ NEWEST MESSAGE 2 EVERYONE!!!!!!1

I urge you, my people, you must wage war upon the Americans with..... MARSHMALLOWS!!!!!!!!! THATS RIGHT HYPER ACCELEARTED MARSHMALLOWZ!!!!!!!! HA HA!!!!!!!

Seriously in 3 years we'll be seeing a movie where the michelin man takez over the marshmallow facotr an goez berserk and firez marshamllowz at earth thus causing an apocalyps.

and in all seriousness, the marshammallow would not destroy earth, it would go straight to the core where it would then burn up?

No, again poor example. Apples and oranges my friend, You're comparing a high velocity high density object moving at a high speed against a soft target to a soft projectile moving at a high speed against a very hard object and an object so large it has it's own gravitational field I might add.

A large crater? Maybe, but a marshmellow, no matter how quickly it's traveling would not contain enough kinetic energy to destroy a planetary mass.

I think Cauldron is right on a technicallity. No object with mass could obtain the speed of light. However if that marshmellow did obtain the speed of light, I thought Mr. Einstein said it would obtain infinite mass...law of Special Relativity? Its been a while since I had a physics class though...I'm old =P.

hehe my weather teacher told me this. picture this if you will:

a jujubee; reletivly soft(its like a reeeeelly small gum drop) is fired from a bb gun at a...uh... i dunno beach ball filled with kool-aid. the beach ball would have a coat of double thick cardboard paper to symbolize the crust of the earth. when the jujubee hits the crust it will knock the crust out of the way forming a crater. and split into the inside. the force would knock some of the koolaid out and the jujubee would continue until it punched through the other side. where it would again cause more of the innards of the planet to spew out. the force of this would cause catastrofic earth quakes that would tear the world apart. now in the case of the candy and the ball the candy isn't going fast enough so it just tosses the ball out of 'orbit' and deflates it. if it was a marshmellow and going at the speed of light it would knock the planet out of orbit cause earthquakes and tear the earth apart from the inside out.
