'''Coconuts''' appear in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] as [[fruit]] most commonly used as projectiles by the player characters or enemies.

==History==
===''Donkey Kong 3'' / ''Donkey Kong 3: Dai Gyakushū''===
Coconuts in ''[[Donkey Kong 3]]'' are indestructible projectiles sometimes thrown by [[Donkey Kong]]. In the arcade version, he throws them in every stage, while in home console releases, he does so in the [[Greenhouse (yellow)|yellow greenhouse]] only. Coconuts also appear in ''[[Donkey Kong 3: Dai Gyakushū]]''. The back of the North American ''Donkey Kong 3'' [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] cover mistakenly misspells coconuts as "cocnuts".

===''Donkey Kong Country''===
Coconuts in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' are small projectiles shot by [[Necky]]s and [[Mini-Necky]]s and large projectiles shot by [[Master Necky]] and [[Master Necky Snr.]], all as a method of attacking.

===''Club Nintendo''===
A coconut in the ''[[Club Nintendo (German magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic "[[Donkey Kong in: Banana Day 24|Banana Day 24]]" is a fruit adored by alien species. The giant aliens mistook [[Earth]] for being a giant coconut when pulling it away, and they agree to return the planet back to its original position as [[Diddy Kong]] starts to give them [[banana]]s in return.

===''Mario Kart 64''===
Coconuts<ref>{{cite|author=Owsen, Dan, Scott Pelland, Paul Shinoda|title=''Mario Kart 64'' Player's Guide|page=66–67, 69|date=1997|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> (referred to as '''stones''' in the instruction manual), which appear to actually be {{wp|Cucumis metuliferus|horned melons}}, in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' are thrown at racers in [[N64 DK's Jungle Parkway|D.K.'s Jungle Parkway]] who drive off course, slowing them down while hitting them back toward the main track. However, coconuts do not affect racers who are using [[Super Star]]s. In the track's reappearance in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', no coconuts are thrown.

===''Donkey Kong 64''===
Coconuts in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' are shot from Donkey Kong's [[Coconut Shooter]]. Coconuts also have a fictional counterpart, [[Crystal Coconut]]s, a consumable source of power for the Kongs' special abilities.

===''Donkey Kong Country'' television series===
In the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' television series]], the Crystal Coconut reappears, except it has healing and fortune-telling properties.

===''Paper Mario'' series===

====''Paper Mario''====
Coconuts in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' are found only in certain Coconut Trees. Such trees can be found near the shores of [[Lavalava Island]] as well as in [[Yoshi's Village]], though some of the trees drop other items. To get them from the trees, [[Mario]] can simply whack them with his current [[Hammer]]. In battle, it is used as a weapon; it can be thrown at a single enemy to deal 3 [[Heart Point|HP]] damage. Coconuts are used in many recipes. Mario can sell them at any shop for 1 [[coin]]. Coconuts are also mentioned in the [[Tattle]] for [[Stone Chomp]]s.

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
Coconuts in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' are found only on one Coconut Tree, on a small island behind the bridge scene in [[Keelhaul Key]]. Unlike in ''Paper Mario'', it can be eaten by Mario or his partner to recover 5 HP. They are once again used in many recipes. They can be sold to shops [[List of selling prices in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|for a varying price from 1 coin to 4 coins]]. Mario must give one to [[Flavio]] on Keelhaul Key to obtain a [[Chuckola Cola (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Chuckola Cola]], which must be given to [[Bobbery|Admiral Bobbery]] in order to revive him.

====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====
In ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', papercraft coconuts<ref>''Paper Mario: Color Splash'' internal data: <tt>\content\Graphics\DisposObject\MOBJ\MOBJ_B_Coconut.bfres.lz</tt></ref> appear hanging from the palm trees on [[Bloo Bay Beach]]. When Mario [[hammer]]s a tree, it drops a coconut, which cracks open to reveal a coin.

===''Mario Party 3'' / ''Mario Party Superstars''===
Coconuts in ''[[Mario Party 3]]'' and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'' appear in the 1-vs-3 minigame [[Coconut Conk]], where the team of three must [[Ground Pound]] coconut trees to cause coconuts to drop from them and land on the player in the barrel.

===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
Coconuts in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' are one of the fruits located in [[Delfino Plaza]], and sometimes have to be used for a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] to hatch out of its egg. If Yoshi eats one, he turns pink and refills his [[juice]] tank, allowing him to turn enemies into pink ascending [[Yoshi Platform|platform]]s. They can also be thrown by [[Mario]]. There are also tasks in the game in which if the player puts enough of them in a basket (or other fruits), they are rewarded with a [[Blue Coin]] the first time, and with a [[1-Up Mushroom]] thereafter.

====''Super Mario Galaxy''====

When 9999 [[Star Bit]]s are collected, all coconuts become [[watermelon]]s.
