'''Peppers''', also called '''Chili Peppers'''<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/19981202104137/http://www.yoshisstory.com/fruit.html|title=''Yoshi's Story'' official website|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|accessdate=May 25, 2024}}</ref> (or '''chili peppers'''),<ref>{{cite|author=Leung, Jason, Terry Munson, and Scott Pelland|title=''Yoshi's Story'' Player's Guide|page=16|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1998}}</ref> appear in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] as interactive spicy [[fruit]]s.

==History==
===''Yoshi's Story''===
Peppers in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' are fruits generally disliked by [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] due to their spicy properties. If a pepper is consumed by a Yoshi, it sticks its tongue out in disgust and loses a petal from its [[Health Meter#Yoshi's Story|Smile Meter]]. If the player Yoshi is [[Super Happy]] and performs a [[Ground Pound]] while a pepper is onscreen, the fruit turns into a single [[coin]], though the effect ends prematurely if a Yoshi eats a pepper while in this state. The Black Yoshi and White Yoshi seem to be fond of peppers, since they do not take damage from them.

===''Super Mario Sunshine''===
Peppers in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' are among the types of the fruit located in [[Delfino Plaza]]. If a Yoshi eats one, it turns purple, allowing it to spit [[juice]] of the same color that turns enemies into forward-moving purple [[Yoshi Platform]]s. Peppers are the only fruit that Yoshis never ask for to hatch out of their [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]]s. Peppers have an essential role while [[Big Boo (character)|King Boo]] is being battled in that throwing a pepper at his tongue stuns him, allowing [[Mario]] to damage him with another fruit.
