Melons in the Super Mario franchise are types of fruit found in tropical regions, such as Yoshi's Island, and are usually depicted as cantaloupes or Japanese muskmelons.
History[edit]
Yoshi[edit]
A Melon in Yoshi is given after the player clears levels 10 and 11 of the B-Type game, rewarding them with 500 points.
Yoshi's Story[edit]
- “Lucky Fruit are yummy, but the "yummiest" of all fruit is melon.”
- —Blue Yoshi, Yoshi's Story manual
Melons in Yoshi's Story are the fruit of choice for all 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 Yoshis a bonus 100 ♥s. Some melons are uncovered by breaking ? Blocks, popping ? Bubbles, or ground-pounding certain spots that can be detected by sniffing.
Paper Mario[edit]

| Paper Mario description | A succulent, ripe melon. Restores 15 HP. |
Melons also appear in Paper Mario, where the adult 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 Shakes, and can also be used to create a Yoshi Cookie when cooked with Cake Mix.
Mario Party series[edit]
Mario Party 2[edit]
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[edit]
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[edit]
Melons in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat are objects thrown by Hogs 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[edit]
Melons in Yoshi Touch & Go grant twenty eggs if Yoshi eats one.
Mario Kart series[edit]
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.
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[edit]
In Donkey Kong Barrel Blast
In Donkey Kong Barrel Blast, the Tasty Melon appear as a red balloon item. When used, it makes the player invincible, much like the Star from the 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[edit]
In Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, a Wiggler in Gloomy Woods that Mario, Luigi and Paper Mario fed previously will ask for a Melon, which is their favorite dessert. Elsewhere in the area is a Yellow Yoshi with a melon; he will only give it to the trio if they can beat him in a race. Once Wiggler is given the melon, he eats it and moves out of the way, allowing the trio to continue through Gloomy Woods.
