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.

All berries are worth one coin and can be eaten by Yoshi by either touching them or by using his tongue. In cases where the player character enters and exits a [[Warp Pipe]] into the same level, the berries are reset, and the game resets track of how many Yoshi had eaten. It is also possible to [[Unwinnable state|softlock]] the game by eating a berry and collecting a power-up at the same time.

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.
Red fruits return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. Besides no longer adding to the coin count, whenever Yoshi eats a fruit, a counter appears, keeping track of how many he has eaten. Yoshi lays an egg with a power-up item upon eating five, depending on the player character's form: [[Small Mario]] or [[Mini Mario (form)|Mini Mario]] for a Super Mushroom, [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]] for a Fire Flower, [[Fire Mario]] for an [[Ice Flower]], [[Ice Mario]] for a [[Propeller Mushroom]], and [[Propeller Mario]] or [[Penguin Mario]] for 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. Pokeys briefly take on the qualities of fruits with each "[[paah]]," and Yoshi can eat them for either coins, Super Mushrooms, Fire Flowers, or 1-Up Mushrooms, depending on how many segments he swallows at once.

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]].
Fruits are more peach-colored and grow from the ground in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They can be eaten for [[Star Bit]]s, with ten equaling an [[extra life]]. Mario can also [[Ground Pound]] fruits. Fruits also have a larger, golden variety that require Yoshi to pull back with his tongue for a few seconds before he can eat it, releasing not only five Star Bits but also a [[Launch Star]]. Three of the power-ups are based around fruits: [[Dash Pepper]], [[Blimp Fruit]], and [[Bulb Berry]].

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.

They are based on their appearance in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', except with a circular meter instead of a counter like before. The resulting power-up item depends on the player character's form, like before: Small Mario or Mini Mario for a Super Mushroom, Super Mario for a Fire Flower, Fire Mario for an Ice Flower, Ice Mario for a [[Super Acorn]], and [[Flying Squirrel Mario]], [[P Flying Squirrel Mario]], Propeller Mario, or Penguin Mario for a 1-Up Mushroom.

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.

Fruits[1][2] (also referred to as berries,[3] Apples,[4] Nuts,[5] and Yoshi Fruits[6][7]) are a type of food originally found in Dinosaur Land, but they have also made appearances elsewhere. Like various other fruits, these grow on trees and bushes. Yoshis can eat a number of them for an item, often depending on the fruit color. Some games state fruit to be Yoshi's favorite food in some way. Fruits were first seen in Super Mario World, where they are pome-like, closely resembling red apples with a yellow underside, with the colors separated by a wavy fringe; a design that would also be consistent in most games from New Super Mario Bros. Wii onward. In artwork for Super Mario World and in Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition itself, Fruits are depicted as round red berries with orange spots and T-shaped stems.

History[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

Super Mario World / Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2[edit]

Red Berry
Pink Berry
Green Berry

Three kinds of berries can be found in Super Mario World. Red Berries[8] (or Red Apples)[9] causes an egg to hatch a Super Mushroom by eating ten in the same stage[9] (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[8] (or Pink Apples)[10] spawns a Yoshi Cloud that drops ten Bonus Coins, followed by a 1-Up Mushroom if all of them are collected. The rare Green Berries[8] (or Green Apples),[10] found only in Funky (and in the introductory Tourist Tips), add 20 seconds to the timer. All berries are worth one coin and can be eaten by Yoshi by either touching them or by using his tongue. In cases where the player character enters and exits a Warp Pipe into the same level, the berries are reset, and the game resets track of how many Yoshi had eaten. It is also possible to softlock the game by eating a berry and collecting a power-up at the same time.

Berries are found in nine levels:

New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]

Red fruits return in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Besides no longer adding to the coin count, whenever Yoshi eats a fruit, a counter appears, keeping track of how many he has eaten. Yoshi lays an egg with a power-up item upon eating five, depending on the player character's form: Small Mario or Mini Mario for a Super Mushroom, Super Mario for a Fire Flower, Fire Mario for an Ice Flower, Ice Mario for a Propeller Mushroom, and Propeller Mario or Penguin Mario for a 1-Up Mushroom. The early elements feature a Yoshi Cookie, equivalent to five fruits. Pokeys briefly take on the qualities of fruits with each "paah," and Yoshi can eat them for either coins, Super Mushrooms, Fire Flowers, or 1-Up Mushrooms, depending on how many segments he swallows at once.

Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]

Fruits are more peach-colored and grow from the ground in Super Mario Galaxy 2. They can be eaten for Star Bits, with ten equaling an extra life. Mario can also Ground Pound fruits. Fruits also have a larger, golden variety that require Yoshi to pull back with his tongue for a few seconds before he can eat it, releasing not only five Star Bits but also a Launch Star. Three of the power-ups are based around fruits: Dash Pepper, Blimp Fruit, and Bulb Berry.

New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe[edit]

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 enhanced port. They are based on their appearance in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, except with a circular meter instead of a counter like before. The resulting power-up item depends on the player character's form, like before: Small Mario or Mini Mario for a Super Mushroom, Super Mario for a Fire Flower, Fire Mario for an Ice Flower, Ice Mario for a Super Acorn, and Flying Squirrel Mario, P Flying Squirrel Mario, Propeller Mario, or Penguin Mario for a 1-Up Mushroom.

Super Mario Run[edit]

Fruit Bushes, each having three fruits, can be obtained in Kingdom Builder mode of Super Mario Run as decorations and placed in the Mushroom Kingdom. The description specifies it is "Yoshi's favorite piece of greenery."

Fruits reappear in Super Mario Odyssey. They are located at Mushroom Kingdom and in secret areas reached from the Dark Side. While capturing Yoshi, Mario can eat fruits, causing a meter to appear, up to the point of a Power Moon appearing when it is full. It is possible for Yoshi to collect more than one fruit at a time. Any previously collected fruits in an area that Mario returns to are translucent and only give a coin. There are also fruits in Warp Pipes for Yoshi to eat so that Mario can enter inside.

A Toad near two fruits that are near Peach's Castle says that they are "Yoshi's favorite food!"

Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition[edit]

Sprite of a Fruit, from Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition.

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 and Winged Yoshi colors, and all types/forms of Koopa Troopas, Koopa Paratroopas, Buzzy Beetles, and Para-Beetles. Fruit can be earned by opening ? Blocks or won from the minigame Lucky ? Blocks at Toad Houses, or earned from Para-Beetles and all Koopa Paratroopas with a 10+ Combo attack. A rare version of Fruit exists as Rare Fruit.

Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam[edit]

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 must give a berry to a famished 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 Eggs.

Minecraft[edit]

In the Super Mario Mash-up in Minecraft, Apples are replaced by fruits from Super Mario World, and Sweet Berries by fruits from Super Mario Galaxy 2.

Dr. Mario World[edit]

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.[11] 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. Red identified these fruits as "apples" in a video for the game.[12]

WarioWare: Get It Together![edit]

Fruits are on the trees in level 2 of the Super Mario World microgame in WarioWare: Get It Together!. Fruits can be eaten by Pyoro using his tongue, but this has no gameplay effect.

Mario Golf: Super Rush[edit]

Fruits are part of Wiggler's Special Shot in Mario Golf: Super Rush, where they fall after Wiggler stomps before he proceeds to swing them away.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie[edit]

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.[13] 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.
