A '''coconut''' is a tropical [[fruit]] found in many games in the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]].

==History==
===''Donkey Kong'' franchise===
[[File:DK64_Coconut.gif|frame|right|A coconut from ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'']] 
Coconuts appear in the [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'' franchise]].

In ''[[Donkey Kong 3]]'', they appear as indestructible projectiles sometimes thrown by [[Donkey Kong]]. They reappear in the game's semi-sequel, ''[[Donkey Kong 3: Dai Gyakushū]]''. 

In the [[Donkey Kong Country (series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' games]], they are shot by [[Necky]]s and [[Mini-Necky]]s as a form of attack; [[Master Necky]] and [[Master Necky Sr.]] also spit them as their sole attack. In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', Donkey Kong uses his [[Coconut Shooter]] that fires coconuts.

Another type of coconut is the [[Crystal Coconut]], which carries different powers depending on the media that it appears in. For example, in the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|''Donkey Kong Country'']] television series, the crystal coconut has healing and fortune-telling properties, whereas in ''Donkey Kong 64'', Crystal Coconuts are a consumable source of power for the Kongs' special abilities.

===''Club Nintendo''===
===="Donkey Kong in: Banana Day 24"====
Coconuts also play a role in the ''Donkey Kong'' comic "[[Donkey Kong in: Banana Day 24|Banana Day 24]]," published in the German magazine ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]''. In this story, giant aliens connect [[Earth]] to their spaceship, pulling the planet away. As it turns out, they erroneously took Earth for a huge coconut, a fruit their species adores. They agree to return the planet back to its original position as [[Diddy Kong]] starts to give them [[banana]]s in return.

===''Mario Kart'' series===
On [[N64 DK's Jungle Parkway|D.K.'s Jungle Parkway]] in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', coconuts<ref>M. Arakawa. ''Mario Kart 64'' Player's Guide. Pages 66, 67, and 69.</ref> are thrown at racers who drive off course, slowing them down while hitting them back toward the main track. However, coconuts do not affect racers who are using [[Super Star]]s. In the track's reappearance in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', no coconuts are thrown.

===''Paper Mario'' series===

====''Paper Mario''====
Coconuts appear in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', where they are found only in certain Coconut Trees. Such trees can be found near the shores of [[Lavalava Island]] as well as in [[Yoshi's Village]], though some of the trees drop other items. To get them from the trees, [[Mario]] can simply whack them with his current [[Hammer]]. In battle, it is used as a weapon; it can be thrown at a single enemy to deal 3 [[Heart Point|HP]] damage. Coconuts are used in many recipes. Mario can sell them at any shop for 1 [[coin]]. Coconuts are also mentioned in the [[Tattle]] for [[Stone Chomp]]s.

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
Coconuts reappear in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. Only one Coconut Tree is found, on a small island behind the bridge scene in [[Keelhaul Key]]. Unlike in ''Paper Mario'', it can be eaten by Mario or his partner to recover 5 HP. They are once again used in many recipes. They can be sold to shops [[List of selling prices in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|for a varying price from 1 coin to 4 coins]]. Mario must give one to [[Flavio]] on Keelhaul Key to obtain a [[Chuckola Cola (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Chuckola Cola]], which must be given to [[Admiral Bobbery]] in order to revive him.

====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====
In ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', papercraft coconuts<ref>''Paper Mario: Color Splash'' internal data: <tt>\content\Graphics\DisposObject\MOBJ\MOBJ_B_Coconut.bfres.lz</tt></ref> appear hanging from the palm trees on [[Bloo Bay Beach]]. When Mario [[hammer]]s a tree, it drops a coconut, which cracks open to reveal a coin.

===''Mario Party'' series===
In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'' and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', coconuts appear in the 1-vs-3 minigame [[Coconut Conk]], where the team of three must [[Ground Pound]] coconut trees to cause coconuts to drop from them and land on the player in the barrel.

===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
[[File:SMSMelon.png|thumb|left|Three coconuts from ''Super Mario Sunshine''.]]
[[File:Coconut SMS.png|thumb|100px|A coconut.]]
Coconuts also appear with various other fruit in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' at [[Delfino Plaza]]. Sometimes, they must be used as bait for a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] to hatch out of its egg. If Yoshi eats one, he will turn pink and refill his [[juice]] tank, allowing him to turn enemies into pink ascending [[Yoshi Platform|platform]]s. They can also be thrown by [[Mario]]. There are also tasks in the game in which if the player puts enough of them in a basket (or other fruits), they will be rewarded with a [[Blue Coin|blue coin]] or [[1-Up Mushroom]].

Coconuts also appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. Mario can [[spin]] into them to send them flying. This is useful for defeating enemies such as [[Big Pokey|Pokeynut]]s and [[thorny flower|prickly plant]]s. They are also used by [[King Kaliente]] and [[Rocto]]s as projectiles. When 9999 [[Star Bit]]s are collected, all coconuts become [[watermelon]]s.

===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''===
