Like [[fruit|various other fruits]], these grow on trees and bushes. [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s can eat them and, depending on the color of the fruit, get some kind of item. Some games state fruit to be Yoshi's favorite food in some way. Fruits were first seen in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. In their debut and most appearances as of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', these fruits are {{wp|pome}}-like, closely resembling red [[apple]]s with a yellow underside, with the colors separated by a wavy fringe. However, some appearances such as the artwork of ''Super Mario World'' and in ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]'', they look like perfectly round red berries with orange spots and T-shaped stems.

In ''Super Mario World'', Yoshis can eat berries for a value of one [[coin]]. [[Yoshi]] eats them when he is in contact with them or grabs them with his tongue. Three kinds of berries can be found in this game. '''Red Berries'''<ref name=MM>{{cite|title=Nintendo ''[[Mario Mania]]'' Player's Guide|page=42|date=August 1991|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> (or '''Red Apples''')<ref name=NP>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 28|page=9|language=en-us|date=September 1991|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> make Yoshi lay an [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]] that hatches a [[Super Mushroom]] if he eats ten in the same stage (in ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'', a Red Yoshi gets a [[Fire Flower]], a Blue Yoshi gets a [[Cape Feather]], and a Yellow Yoshi gets a [[Super Star]]). '''Pink Berries'''<ref name=MM/> (or '''Pink Apples''')<ref name=NP/> cause a coin-throwing [[Yoshi Cloud]] to appear if he eats two in the same stage. The cloud gives a [[1-Up Mushroom]] if he collects all ten of the smiley-faced [[Bonus Coin (Super Mario World)|Bonus Coins]] it drops. The rare '''Green Berries'''<ref name=MM/> (or '''Green Apples'''),<ref name=NP/> found only in [[Funky (level)|Funky]] (and in the introductory [[Tourist Tips]]), add 20 seconds to the [[Time Limit|timer]]. Returning to the same location through a [[Warp Pipe]] restores all berries, but the count of how many berries eaten is reset to zero. It is also possible to [[Unwinnable state|softlock]] the game by eating a berry and collecting a power-up at the same time.

Berries are found in nine [[level]]s:
*[[Yoshi's House]] ({{color|Red|7}})*
*[[Yoshi's Island 2]] ({{color|Red|13}} • {{color|Pink|1}})
*[[Yoshi's Island 4]] ({{color|Red|1}})
*[[Donut Plains 4]] ({{color|Red|5}})
*[[Cookie Mountain]] ({{color|Pink|2}})
*[[Forest of Illusion 1]] ({{color|Red|19}} • {{color|Pink|3}})
*[[Forest of Illusion 3]] ({{color|Red|26}} • {{color|Pink|3}})
*[[Groovy]] ({{color|Red|10}} • {{color|Pink|2}})
*[[Funky (level)|Funky]] ({{color|Red|8}} • {{color|Green|9}})**
<sub>*In ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'', Yoshi's House has 10 Red Berries.</sub><br>
<sub>**In the Japanese version, Funky has 14 Red Berries and three Green Berries.</sub>

====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
[[File:NSMBW Red Berry Sprite.png|frame|left]]
Red fruits also appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', where they serve the same role, though they do not add to the coin count. Every time Yoshi eats a fruit, a counter appears, keeping track of how many fruits he has eaten. When the counter reaches five, Yoshi lays an egg containing an item. The item that Yoshi yields depends on the form that [[Mario]] is in when Yoshi eats the fifth fruit: [[Small Mario]] and [[Mini Mario (form)|Mini Mario]] yield a Super Mushroom, [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]] yields a Fire Flower, [[Fire Mario]] yields an [[Ice Flower]], [[Ice Mario]] yields a [[Propeller Mushroom]], and [[Propeller Mario]] and [[Penguin Mario]] yield a 1-Up Mushroom. The [[List of New Super Mario Bros. Wii pre-release and unused content|early elements]] feature a [[Yoshi Cookie]], equivalent to five fruits. [[Pokey]]s also transform into a non-spiked form with every single "[[paah]]" in the music. When Pokeys are in this form, Yoshi can eat them for coins, Super Mushrooms, Fire Flowers, or 1-Up Mushrooms, depending on how many segments he [[swallow]]s at once.

====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
[[File:SMG2 Pink Berry Screenshot.png|thumb|100px|A fruit as seen in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'']]
Fruits reappear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', where they are more peach-colored than red. They are grown on the ground instead of shrubs as in previous games, and they can be squashed and destroyed by Mario with a [[Ground Pound]]. Yoshi can eat fruits to earn [[Star Bit]]s. If ten fruits are eaten, the player receives an [[extra life]]. The game also features large golden fruits that are more difficult to pull, and Yoshi has to hold on to them with his tongue for a few seconds before he can eat them. A golden fruit gives a [[Launch Star]] and five Star Bits when eaten. This game also has power-ups based on fruits: the [[Dash Pepper]], [[Blimp Fruit]], and [[Bulb Berry]].

====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
[[File:Berry Meter NSMBU.png|thumb|200px|left|A fruit being eaten and a new meter in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'']]
Red-colored fruits reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and their port ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'', where, like in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', they make Yoshi lay an egg containing an item when five are eaten. However, a circular meter replaces the counter from the previous game. The item that Yoshi yields depends on the form that Mario is in when Yoshi eats the fifth fruit: Small Mario and Mini Mario yield a Super Mushroom, Super Mario yields a Fire Flower, Fire Mario yields an Ice Flower, Ice Mario yields a [[Super Acorn]], and [[Flying Squirrel Mario]], [[P Flying Squirrel Mario]], Propeller Mario, and Penguin Mario yield a 1-Up Mushroom.

====''Super Mario Run''====
In ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', the Kingdom Builder mode allows the player to obtain Fruit Bushes as a [[List of Kingdom Builder items in Super Mario Run|decoration]] and place them in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. There are three fruits on each Fruit Bush. The description specifies it is "Yoshi's favorite piece of greenery."

====''Super Mario Odyssey''====

Fruits reappear in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', where they are found in the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]] and in secret areas reached from the [[Dark Side]]. Mario can [[capture]] Yoshi, allowing him to eat fruits. Whenever a fruit is eaten, a meter specific to that area appears. A [[Power Moon]] appears when the meter is full. More than one fruit can be collected at once if Yoshi's tongue is extended towards them. Upon the player returning to an area with fruits, fruits that were collected previously are replaced by translucent fruits, which do not fill meters but do give the player a coin when collected. Fruits can also be found in [[Warp Pipe]]s, and Yoshi must eat them so Mario can enter the Warp Pipe.

A [[Toad (species)|Toad]] near two fruits that are near [[Peach's Castle]] says that they are "Yoshi's favorite food!"

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
In ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', fruits can be seen in the trees in the background of the forest level theme in the ''Super Mario World'' style, with two isolated red ones per screen.

===''Super Mario World'' television series===
[[File:Berrysmw.jpg|thumb]]
Berries also appear in the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'' animated series]] in the episode "[[Gopher Bash]]," though they simply appear as red circles instead of having a stem or spots. One also appears in "[[A Little Learning]]," where Yoshi eats it from a bush while he and [[Oogtar]] are fighting with [[Lemmy Koopa|Hip]] and [[Iggy Koopa|Hop]], though it appears closer to its in-game sprite than previously.

===''Yoshi's Safari''===
[[File:YoshisSafari-Berry.png|thumb|left]]
Nuts reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]''. When they are used during boss battles, [[Yoshi]] flashes gray and takes half damage for a limited time. When nuts are not used at all, 2,000 bonus [[point]]s are added to the player's highscore.
{{br}}

===''Mario Kart'' series===
====''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====
[[File:MK8D BCP Fruit Emblem.png|thumb|left|106px|The emblem for the Fruit Cup in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'']]
In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', fruits make small appearances in {{classic-link|N64|Yoshi Valley}} and {{classic-link|GCN|Yoshi Circuit}}, in which they can be seen growing on trees in the background. A cup represented by a fruit, the [[Fruit Cup]], appears in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' of ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''; in keeping with this [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]-related theming, the cup ends with [[Yoshi's Island (race course)|Yoshi's Island]].

====''Mario Kart Tour''====
Fruits return on some trees in N64 Yoshi Valley in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''.

===''Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition''===
[[File:PDSMBE-Berry.png|frame]]
Fruits appear in ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]'' and are referred to as '''Fruit''' in the American English version and as '''Berries''' in the British English version. They are special Skill Items that raise the Skill levels of all [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] and [[Winged Yoshi]] colors, and all types/forms of [[Koopa Troopa]]s, [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s, [[Buzzy Beetle]]s, and [[Para-Beetle]]s. Fruit can be earned by opening [[? Block]]s or won from the minigame Lucky ? Blocks at [[Toad House]]s, or earned from Para-Beetles and all Koopa Paratroopas with a 10+ Combo attack. A rare version of Fruit exists as [[Rare Fruit (Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition)|Rare Fruit]].

===''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''===
A different type of berry appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''. Rather than being red with a yellow underside or apple-like, these berries are light orange with a red gradient and have white sepals. In this game, [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Paper Mario (character)|Paper Mario]] must give a berry to a famished [[Wiggler#Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam|Wiggler]] in [[Gloomy Woods]], allowing him to get enough energy to break through trash in the forest. The trio must then collect ten more berries spread around the area, along with a [[melon]], after Wiggler becomes worn out after rampaging through the trash. A [[Paper Paratroopa]] tells Mario that [[Bowser]] loves berries. At the beginning of the mission titled [[Yoshi Rush]], the Yoshi eats three berries, creating [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi Egg]]s.

===''Dr. Mario World''===
In ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'', Dr. Yoshi's skill is to cause fruit to drop on a number of objects, then eat both the fruits and the objects to eliminate the objects.<ref>{{cite|quote="C'mon, do I really look that tasty?" – [[Virus|Yellow]]|author=Nintendo Mobile|date=June 4, 2019|title=Doctors & Assistants #1|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oY0TBNkC2Ww|timestamp="0.31"|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=Nov 2, 2024}}</ref> The main animation shows three fruits, and the skill starts off eliminating three objects. As Dr. Yoshi's skill level increases, more objects get eliminated, with the secondary animation for each object showing a fruit landing on it. [[Virus|Red]] identified these fruits as "apples" in a video for the game.<ref>{{cite|quote="Apples, yummy." – [[Virus|Red]]|author=Nintendo Mobile|date=June 17, 2019|title=Welcome to Dr. Mario World|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8b4DNKfs_tU|timestamp="3:20"|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=Nov 1, 2024}}</ref>

===''WarioWare: Get It Together!''===
Fruits make a cameo in ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'', where they appear on trees in level 2 of the [[Super Mario World (WarioWare: Get It Together!)|Super Mario World]] [[microgame]]. [[Pyoro]] can eat them with his tongue, although this has no effect on gameplay. 
{{br}}

===''Mario Golf: Super Rush''===
Fruits appear as part of [[Wiggler]]'s [[Special Shot (Mario Golf: Super Rush)|Special Shot]] in ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]''. In his Special Shot, he stomps and causes fruits to drop down, and swings the fruits away.

===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''===
In a promotional clip for ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', [[Toad]] is shown fighting off a [[Goomba]] by throwing random items out of his backpack at it, one of which is a Fruit.<ref>{{cite|author=Puffen|date=March 20, 2023|url=youtu.be/5j2uC5k4AMw|title=Toad fights goombas New Super Mario Movie Ad|publisher=YouTube|language=en|accessdate=April 11, 2023}}</ref> In the travel montage in the movie, as the heroes travel through Yoshi's Island, Mario is shown eating a red fruit as a Yoshi looks at them in the background.
