Watermelons in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'' are functionally the same as in the original. Watermelons with bite marks are first encountered in [[Ukiki Jammin']], first held by an Ukiki and having seeds that are spat out by them. A full variant of the watermelon is found in [[Ride the Blarggwich]]. Red and blue watermelons can also be found in later levels of the game, with red watermelons first debuting in [[Harry Hedgehog's Labyrinth]] and blue watermelons in [[Brave the Bumpty Blizzard]]. | Watermelons in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'' are functionally the same as in the original.

Watermelons appear in volume 14 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', which is the adaption of ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''. Like in the game, they give characters who eat them respective abilities. The first time they appear, Mario and Luigi stuff a Super Red Watermelon inside a crying Baby Mario to quiet him. He then breathes fire at Toadies who first attempted to attack. The next time they appear, Helicopter Yoshi eats a Super Green Watermelon and spits seeds at Kamek, Toadies, and Baby Mario they are carrying. During their battle against a [[Lunge Fish]], Mario stuffs a Super Blue Watermelon inside Yoshi to make Yoshi freeze the Lunge Fish. | Watermelons appear in volume 14 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', which is the adaption of ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''.

Watermelons in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' appear as one of the favorite fruit of [[Yoshi (species)|Green Yoshi]]s, along with [[melon]]s. | |||
===''Mario Party'' series=== | ===''Mario Party'' series=== | ||
Watermelons in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]] have differing roles between each appearance. Giant watermelons appear in ''[[Mario Party]]'' as giant fruits on Watermelon Island part of [[Yoshi's Tropical Island]]. In ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', [[Super Duel Mode]] contains a weapon for machines called the Seed Machine Gun, which is modeled after the watermelons from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''; it is a weak, lightweight gun that fires seeds at a rapid rate and is worth five Battle Game Points. Watermelons in ''[[Mario Party 10]]'' appear in the minigame [[Watermelon Whalin']], where they are carried by the rival players, and the solo player has to break them. | Watermelons in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]] have differing roles between each appearance.

Melons in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' are used as the [[Kong]]s' life meter. Each melon is made up of four slices, and if a Kong takes damage, they lose a melon slice of their health, sometimes even half a melon (the equivalent of two slices). Melon slices refill the Kongs' health, and can be found by either breaking open [[Melon Crate]]s or by defeating enemies such as [[Kritter]]s or [[Gnawty|Gnawties]]. If the Kongs lose all their health, they are sent back to the starting point of the area. At first, the Kongs start out only having one melon in their health meter, but they can have up to three by obtaining a melon upgrade from [[Candy Kong]] in [[Angry Aztec]] and [[Crystal Caves]] each. Melons are ammo in some [[bonus room|bonus stage]]s such as [[Teetering Turtle Trouble!]]. | Melons in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' are used as the [[Kong]]s' life meter.

While normal watermelons do not appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', there are watermelon variants of [[Piranha Plant]]s called [[Melon Piranha Plant]]s that spit out watermelon seeds which players can bounce off of. Like in the ''Yoshi's Island'' series, if a Yoshi eats a Melon Piranha Plant, it can spit out a large number of watermelon seeds at rapid-fire pace, or, if it grabs one of the seeds the enemy spits out, it can spit it back out. | |||

===''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''=== | |||
Watermelons appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' as explosive objects known as [[Watermelon Fuse Bomb]]s, which can be picked up and thrown at enemies to defeat them, or at certain obstacles to destroy them, usually to reveal a secret. Large rectangular watermelons also make an appearance as platforms in the level [[Fruity Factory]], a reference to real-life {{wp|square watermelon}}s grown in Japan. | |||
===''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''=== | |||
Green watermelons appear in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', where Yoshi uses them to spit out seeds that can hit enemies and [[Winged Cloud]]s, break sponge obstacles, and reach collectible items. When there is a bite on a watermelon, there will be third as many seeds in it. Fire and ice watermelons also make a return. A fire watermelon allows Yoshi to breathe out three streams of fire. Fire melts ice blocks as well as defeating enemies. In this game, an ice watermelon allows Yoshi to breathe out five streams of ice which can freeze enemies upon contact. Yoshi can kick the enemy and it will slide in the direction of the kick, eventually breaking apart. Some of the watermelons are required for [[Completion|100% completion]] of the game. They are also available as [[Power Badge (Yoshi's Woolly World)|Power Badge]]s. | |||
The '''All-you-can-eat watermelon!''' [[Power Badge (Yoshi's Woolly World)|Power Badge]] in ''Yoshi's Woolly World'' automatically places a watermelon in a Yoshi's mouth, allowing him to have its ability at nearly any point. Watermelon slices also occasionally appear in the [[Bonus Game (Yoshi's Woolly World)|Bonus Game]], where they are worth 300 points each. Yoshi can collect them with his body or using his tongue. | |||
