Super Paper Mario
Apples in Super Paper Mario now appear as Red Apples. More variations of them are introduced, including the taboo Black Apple (which wakes up Princess Peach); the luscious but cursed Golden Apple; the mustache-inducing Yellow Apple; the fruit-transforming Pink Apple; and the shrinking Blue Apple. All apples in this game simply restore five HP, except for the Black Apple, which restores only one when used on a playable character; the above ailments are induced only when they are given to a non-playable character. The more-useful Primordial Fruit introduced earlier in Super Paper Mario also slightly resembles that game's apples, although the two items' exact relations are unknown.
WarioWare: Touched!
An apple in WarioWare: Touched! is used by Dr. Crygor in the prologue of his stage to demonstrate his recent Tri-phonic Undulating Nanobot Automaton. The core converts into an apple after the demonstration. However, when Dr. Crygor enters the compartment of the TUNA, it closes on him along with the apple. This results in Dr. Crygor being merged with the apple, upgrading him.
Yoshi Topsy-Turvy
Apples in Yoshi Topsy-Turvy are what Bowser transforms the Egglings into when they fly to Yoshi's Island after the Koopa Troop's attack on their homeland. The Spirit Who Loves Cuteness, a friend of the Egglings, is dumbfounded and enlists Yoshi to seek the apples and eat them, which restores the Egglings to their initial forms. The apples in this game are red and green, and, while the two colors of apple can be found doing anything regardless of any kind of coloration code, green ones typically stay in one spot and most red apples glide downward on parachutes.
Yoshi Touch & Go
Apples in Yoshi Touch & Go can each be eaten by Yoshi to give him an egg.
Mario Sports Mix
Apples in Mario Sports Mix are objects that can be fed to Petey Piranha in the party game Feed Petey, and are worth 30 points each.
Yoshi's Woolly World
Red apple slices in Yoshi's Woolly World appear in Bonus Games.
Yoshi's Crafted World
Apples in Yoshi's Crafted World are objects that can appear after hitting a Time Cloud, and if Yoshi eats them all within the time limit, a Smiley Flower appears. There are also costumes based on red, yellow, and green apples that Yoshi can wear. While the red and yellow ones are gained from Acorn Forest, the green one is gained from Shadowville.
Mario Kart Tour
Apples in Mario Kart Tour do not directly appear, but the Apple Kart and two of its variants, the Green Apple Kart and Poison Apple Kart, are based on them.
