'''Cheese''' is a dairy product that makes occasional appearances in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise. It first appeared in ''[[Wario Land 3]]'', though it has made appearances in later games with varying functions.

==History==
===''Nintendo Comics System''===
The [[Nintendo Comics System|''Super Mario Bros.'' comic]] "[[A Mouser in the Houser]]" features the [[Sacred Cylinder of Cheese]], an object considered to be of importance by the [[Mushroom King]].

===''Wario Land 3''===
Flies carrying rancid cheese periodically enter the arena during while battling the [[Pesce]] in ''[[Wario Land 3]]''. The cheese can be dropped into the water if [[Wario]] bumps the flies. The Pesce will eat the cheese if it drops nearby, and Pesce is defeated after eating three pieces.

===''Mario Kart'' series===
[[File:MK8 GBA Cheese Land.png|thumb|{{classic|GBA|Cheese Land}} largely consists of cheese, as seen in ''Mario Kart 8'']]
There is a course in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]] largely consisting of cheese, [[GBA Cheese Land|Cheese Land]], debuting in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' and returning as a [[classic course]] in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. Several cheese structures appear in the background and off-road areas of the course. The course's moon-like setting, which is removed in its later appearance, may be a reference to the {{wp|The Moon is made of green cheese|misconception}} that the moon is made of cheese. The ''Mario Kart 8'' iteration adds small blocks of cheese in the off-road areas that function as minor breakable obstacles, and there are several large cheese blocks in the off-road areas that can be crashed into.

===''Luigi's Mansion''===
In ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and its Nintendo 3DS [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|remake]], [[Luigi]] can scan cheese with the [[Game Boy Horror]]'s Search Function to reveal a [[Gold Mouse]], which he can suck up to get treasure, including [[Stone (Luigi's Mansion)|jewels]]. Cheese only appears in darkened rooms, and disappears when the room is lit up. However, unlike with [[Speedy Spirit]]s, Luigi gets a second chance to catch the Gold Mice he missed, during the [[Blackout]]. In total, there are five pieces of cheese: the [[Study (Luigi's Mansion)|Study]] has one behind the desk, the [[Fortune-teller's Room]] has one behind [[Madame Clairvoya]]'s chair; the [[Dining Room (Luigi's Mansion)|Dining Room]] has one under the chair next to [[Mr. Luggs]]; the [[Tea Room]] has one behind the left table; and lastly the [[Safari Room]] has one between the crates and the armchair.

The Study has a book called ''Darkness is Their Cheese'' by [[List of implied characters#C. Parmesan|C. Parmesan]] that talks about the effects of cheese in the dark on Golden Mice:

<blockquote>
Ghost mice are drawn to darkness as real mice are drawn to cheese... In the dark, they shine gold with contentment. I must try to get close to one before the lights come back on.
</blockquote>

===''Super Mario Odyssey''===
[[File: SMO Luncheon Brochure C.png|thumb|300px|A Cheese Rock]]
In ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', blocks of cheese called '''Cheese Rocks''' appear throughout the [[Luncheon Kingdom]] as platforms and obstacles. They can be broken via the frying pans thrown by [[Hammer Bro]]s, and are sometimes used to cover up various items such as golden [[turnip]]s, [[Lever Switch]]es, and [[Moon Shard]]s. They are also used to block some stairs near the [[Luncheon Kingdom#Path to the Meat Plateau|Path to the Meat Plateau]], which are used in the [[Under the Cheese Rocks]] mission. According to the Luncheon Kingdom's brochure, the cheese is so hard because it is completely dried out from being left near the lava from Mount Volbono.

===''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''===
In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|remake]] of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', [[Bowser]] uses cheese to restore [[Brawl Point|BP]] instead of [[Syrup Jar]]s. They recover fifteen [[Brawl Point]]s when eaten. There are stronger variants of regular cheese: [[Super Cheese]], [[Ultra Cheese]], and [[Miracle Cheese]]. Also, Bowser's equivalent of the [[Star Candy]] is the [[Cheesy Drumstick]].
