| | A '''Melon''' is a [[fruit]] found in tropical regions, such as [[Yoshi's Island (place)|Yoshi's Island]]. The Melon first appeared in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', where it was the fruit of choice of the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]]. There are 30 of these in every level, and getting a perfect score with them is extremely hard. Each Melon awards the [[Baby Yoshi]]s with a bonus 100 [[♥]] apiece. |

| |
| '''Melons''' in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] are types of [[fruit]] found in tropical regions, such as [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]], and are usually depicted as {{wp|cantaloupe}}s or {{wp|Cucumis melo|Japanese muskmelons}}. | |

| ==History==
| | [[Image:PaperMario Items Melon.png|frame|left]] |
| ===''Yoshi''===
| | They also appeared in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' where the adult [[Yellow Yoshi]] on [[Lavalava Island]] would trade a Melon for one of [[Mario]]'s food items. The requirement, however, was that the item be a recipe from [[Tayce T.]] made with [[Cake Mix]]. Melons restore 15 [[HP]] and don't sell well even at [[Dry Dry Outpost]]. |
| A Melon in ''[[Yoshi (game)|Yoshi]]'' is given after the player clears levels 10 and 11 of the B-Type game, rewarding them with 500 points.

| Melons in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' are the fruit of choice for all [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]]. 30 melons appear in every level, all of which must be eaten without consuming any other fruit to achieve a perfect score with a melon background picture appearing at the end. Each melon also awards the [[Baby Yoshi]]s a bonus 100 [[♥]]s. Some melons are uncovered by breaking [[? Block]]s, popping [[? Bubble]]s, or [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]]ing certain spots that can be detected by [[sniff]]ing.

| |
| Melons also appear in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', where the adult [[Yoshi (species)|Yellow Yoshi]] in [[Yoshi's Village]] trades a Melon for one of [[Mario]]'s food items, provided the item is a recipe from [[Tayce T.]]; the trade cannot be done when the Yoshi kids go missing until the [[Lava Piranha]] is defeated, making it easily missed if players do not talk to the adult Yellow Yoshi before and after these events. Melons are generally a cheaper alternative to [[Jammin' Jelly]] for Tayce T.'s [[Special Shake]]s, and can also be used to create a [[Yoshi Cookie]] when cooked with [[Cake Mix]].
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario Party'' series===
| |
| ====''Mario Party 2''====
| |
| Melons in ''[[Mario Party 2]]'' appear in the minigame [[Honeycomb Havoc]], having no distinction from other fruits, and must be collected by players while avoiding beehives.
| |
| | |
| ====''Mario Party 4''====
| |
| A Melon in ''[[Mario Party 4]]'' appears in the [[minigame]] [[Fruits of Doom]], as one of the fruits that players may give [[Bowser]] to eat.
| |
| | |
| ===''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat''===
| |
| Melons in ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'' are objects thrown by [[Hog]]s to attack Donkey Kong, by throwing a set of three of them at him consecutively. The player can [[clap]] while Donkey Kong is near a melon to punch or kick it back at the Hog and stun it. Hogs may also shroud a melon in electricity; this melon is thrown much faster and requires two claps - once to discharge the electricity, and again to hit it back as usual. Clapping near a Hog will cause it to throw melons. A gigantic melon serves as a goal in the non-boss levels of the [[Melon Kingdom]].
| |
| | |
| ===''Yoshi Touch & Go''===
| |
| Melons in ''[[Yoshi Touch & Go]]'' grant twenty [[Yoshi Egg|egg]]s if [[Yoshi]] eats one.
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario Kart'' series===
| |
| The Melon appears as one of [[Yoshi]]'s special items in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]''. It is a recovery item that removes all status conditions for the kart when used, such as square or burst tires or a [[Thunder Cloud]], and provides a shield for approximately half a second. With good timing, the shield can block incoming items or the explosion of a [[Time Bomb (item)|Time Bomb]].
| |
| | |
| In ''Mario Kart Arcade GP'', there is a variant called the Melon+ that greatly increases the duration of the shield given.
| |
| | |
| ===''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast''===
| |
| [[File:Melon DKBB sprite.png|frame|In ''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast'']]
| |
| In ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'', the '''Tasty Melon''' appear as a [[Balloon (Donkey Kong Barrel Blast)|red balloon]] item. When used, it makes the player invincible, much like the [[Super Star|Star]] from the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series; when used by a [[Kong]], the invincibility lasts longer. Unlike the Star, touching a player while invincible does not hurt them.
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''===
| |
| In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', a [[Wiggler#Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam|Wiggler]] in [[Gloomy Woods]] that Mario, [[Luigi]] and [[Paper Mario (character)|Paper Mario]] fed previously will ask for a Melon, which is their favorite dessert. Elsewhere in the area is a [[Yoshi (species)|Yellow Yoshi]] with a melon; he will only give it to the trio if they can beat him in a [[Wait Up, Yoshi!|race]]. Once Wiggler is given the melon, he eats it and moves out of the way, allowing the trio to continue through Gloomy Woods.
