*The Golden Apple can be an allusion to [[wikipedia:Greek mythology|Greek mythology]], where legend tells of an apple tree of such sort at the far end of the world. It's also said that the golden apples from this tree will grant immortality. [[Luvbi]] refers to the Golden Apple as the "forbidden" fruit, hence it may also likely allude to the [[wikipedia:Forbidden fruit|forbidden fruit]] of the [[wikipedia:Garden of Eden|Garden of Eden]], whereof Western interpretations commonly depict the fruit in question as an apple.

The Golden Apple is an apple in Super Paper Mario that only appears once in the game. In The Overthere, after going through Door E, Mario, Luigi and Bowser will find Princess Peach fast asleep after she ate the apple. The apple is a reference to the forbidden fruit of the Garden of Eden, and is even called that by Luvbi. It may also be a reference to the immortality-granting golden apples that are said to grow at the end of the world in Greek mythology.

When they find Peach, Luvbi explains that the Golden Apple is so delectable that anyone who eats it will end up falling into deep sleep for 100 years. She also says that there's a taboo fruit around that may restore her consciousness. The fruit that Mario and his team must get is a Black Apple, the only fruit that wakes up Peach. (Other fruits do wake up her, but only temporarily and with humorous side effects, such as making her giant, giving her a mustache or changing her into an actual peach.)
