Watermelon (Yoshi's Island series)
Green watermelons[1][2] are normal watermelons (with green skin, red flesh, and black seeds) found in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, its remake Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, its sequel Yoshi's New Island, and Yoshi's Woolly World. If Yoshi eats the green watermelon, Yoshi can spit seeds. Ukikis have many green watermelons, some half-eaten, which only let a Yoshi spit out half as many seeds as a whole watermelon. Ukikis use the watermelons to spit seeds. The seeds have the same effect on enemies as an egg.
Yoshi and a Bandit duel with spitting green watermelon seeds at one another in the Mini Battle Game, Watermelon Seed Spitting Contest. Whoever spits the most watermelon seeds at one another until one's HP runs out as shown on the HP bar wins the minigame.
Super Green Watermelons[3] are also available as a Special Item that can be won. Using it automatically places a green watermelon in Yoshi's mouth, allowing him to have its ability at nearly any point.
