'''{{wp|Fruit}}s''' in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] are a type of botanical, naturally produced food that hangs in trees and bushes and usually bears seeds inside it. Many kinds of fruit grow in the wild or on cultivated land, from [[Earth|real-world]] ones such as [[apple]]s, [[banana]]s, and [[watermelon]]s to fictional ones such as the [[Fruit (Yoshi food)|red fruits]] that debuted in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and the [[Heart Fruit]]s from ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''.

==History==
===''Donkey Kong'' franchise===
[[File:DKCTF Fruit Box Prima.jpg|thumb|left|200px|A box of fruit in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'']]
Fruit appears throughout the [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'' franchise]], mainly bananas, which are the most common collectible item within the whole series.

Fruit (also called '''Fruit Bombs''')<ref>''Donkey Kong Junior'' [[media:DKJ Arcade Flyer Reverse.jpg|back flyer]]</ref> first appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'', where it is used as a weapon. This fruit plummets downward upon impact with [[Donkey Kong Jr.]], and it defeats any enemies it lands on. This fruit also appears in ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'' for the [[Game Boy]] and ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'', as well as a few rare appearances in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]''.

Fruit is more prevalent in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', where every Kong (except for [[Tiny Kong]]) uses fruit as ammo from their personal weapon. Aside from that, the active Kong's current health is measured in watermelons, and [[orange]]s are ammunition acting just like grenades.

In ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'', large fruits appear as the goal of each stage, with the type of fruit depending on the kingdom's name.

===''Super Mario'' series===
Fruits make their first appearance in the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', in the form of [[Cherry|Cherries]] floating in the air.

Later, [[fruit (Yoshi food)|fruit]]s (known as '''berries''') appear in ''Super Mario World'', where Red and Green Berries hang from bushes. [[Yoshi]] can eat these fruits to gain extra [[point]]s. The fruits act the same way later in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''.

[[File:SMS Durian Artwork.png|thumb|80px|[[Durian]] is one of seven fruits in ''Super Mario Sunshine''.]]
In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', various types of fruit appear in most [[level]]s. Fruits are mainly used to feed a Yoshi. A [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi's egg]] will hatch only if the Yoshi's requested fruit is carried to him. If the Yoshi does not eat a fruit every few minutes or so, his [[juice]] meter will empty and he will go back into his egg. The Yoshi's color depends on the fruit he eats: If he eats a [[papaya]] or [[pineapple]], he will be orange; if he eats [[banana]]s or a [[coconut]], he will be pink; and if he eats a [[durian]] or [[pepper]], he will be purple. [[Watermelon]]s also make an appearance during the Watermelon Festival at [[Gelato Beach]], where they are extremely large and very fragile; the [[Pianta]]s hold a watermelon size contest and make watermelon smoothies during the festival.

In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', along with the normal red fruits, there are three special types of fruit: the [[Dash Pepper]] (a red pepper that transforms Yoshi into [[Dash Yoshi]]), the [[Blimp Fruit]] (a blue berry that turns Yoshi into [[Blimp Yoshi]]), and the [[Bulb Berry]] (a yellow pear-like berry that transforms Yoshi into [[Bulb Yoshi]]).

In ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', red fruits can be consumed by Yoshi when [[capture]]d by [[Mario]] in the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]].

===''Yoshi's Story''===
Fruits (referred to as "'''Super Happy Tree Fruits'''" in a preview)<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Issue #57|date=December 1997|page=6|language=Australian English}}</ref> also appear in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', where each Yoshi has a fruit as their favorite food. If a Yoshi eats 30 fruits, they will advance to the next level. Fruits can often be found floating around in [[bubble]]s. After a Yoshi eats a fruit, it appears in the Yoshi's [[Fruit Frame]]. There are 60 fruits in each stage of the game: 30 [[melon]]s, 12 [[Lucky Fruit]]s, and 18 "ordinary" fruits. If 30 fruits are eaten in more than one kind, a smiling heart appears in the background.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
In the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], fruits appear as one of the food items. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', fruits appear on the [[Tortimer Island]] stage, where trees bear them. Attacking trees that bear fruits makes the fruits fall down, allowing players to grab them to recover health. Unlike the other fruits, Coconuts that appear are not edible and can instead be used as a throwing item.

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
Another kind of fruit appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|its remake]], named [[Bean Fruit]]. 

[[File:MLPiT Fruit sprite.png|frame|right]]
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', a fruit resembling an [[Apple]] was found inside [[Yoob's Belly]]. This fruit, aptly named "Fruit," was given to a Yellow Yoshi to help him regain the strength needed to help move a [[Chomp Rock]]. The in-game description reads, ''"Fresh and juicy! Yoshi's favorite."''

===''Mario Sports Mix''===
In ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]'', fruit is one of the objects that needs to be fed to [[Petey Piranha]] in the party game [[Feed Petey]].

===''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''===
Fruit slices appear in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' as the main collectibles in the [[Bonus Game (Yoshi's Woolly World)|Bonus Game]]. One of the fruits is kiwi, which has not previous appeared in the franchise.
