'''Cheese''' is a dairy product that makes occasional appearances in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise. It first appeared in ''[[Wario Land 3]]'', though it has made appearances in later games with varying functions.

==History==
===''Nintendo Comics System''===
The [[Nintendo Comics System|''Super Mario Bros.'' comic]] "[[A Mouser in the Houser]]" features the [[Sacred Cylinder of Cheese]], an object considered to be of importance by the [[Mushroom King]].

===''Wario Land 3''===
During the boss fight with [[Pesce]] in ''[[Wario Land 3]]'', flies carrying rancid cheese periodically enter the arena. [[Wario]] must bump into these flies to make them drop the cheese into the water. If the cheese drops close to Pesce, it will eat the cheese. Pesce is defeated when it eats three pieces of cheese.

===''Mario Kart'' series===
====''Mario Kart: Super Circuit''====

A course named [[GBA Cheese Land|Cheese Land]] appears in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', which, as its name indicates, is themed around cheese, with several cheese structures appearing in the background and off-road areas of the course. The course's moon-like setting, which is removed in its later appearance, may be a reference to the {{wp|The Moon is made of green cheese|misconception}} that the moon is made of cheese.

====''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====

{{classic|GBA|Cheese Land}} returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as a [[classic course]]. There are now small blocks of cheese in the off-road areas that act as minor breakable obstacles, and there are several large cheese blocks in the off-road areas that can be crashed into.

===''Luigi's Mansion''===
[[File:Cheese.jpg|thumb|250px|Cheese in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version of ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'']]
In ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and its Nintendo 3DS [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|remake]], [[Luigi]] can scan cheese with the [[Game Boy Horror]]'s Search Function to reveal a [[Gold Mouse]], which he can suck up to get treasure, including [[Stone (Luigi's Mansion)|jewels]].

Five pieces of cheese appear in the game. They are found in the following locations:
*'''[[Study (Luigi's Mansion)|Study]]''' - Behind the desk
*'''[[Fortune-teller's Room]]''' - Behind [[Madame Clairvoya]]'s chair
*'''[[Dining Room (Luigi's Mansion)|Dining Room]]''' - Under the chair next to [[Mr. Luggs]]
*'''[[Tea Room]]''' - Behind the left table
*'''[[Safari Room]]''' - Between the crates and the armchair

Cheese only appears in darkened rooms, and disappears when the room is lit up. However, unlike with [[Speedy Spirit]]s, Luigi gets a second chance to catch the Gold Mice he missed, during the [[Blackout]].

In [[Neville]]'s [[Study (Luigi's Mansion)|Study]], there is a book called ''Darkness is Their Cheese'' by [[List of implied characters#C. Parmesan|C. Parmesan]] that talks about the effects of cheese in the dark on Golden Mice:

<blockquote>
Ghost mice are drawn to darkness as real mice are drawn to cheese... In the dark, they shine gold with contentment. I must try to get close to one before the lights come back on.
</blockquote>

===''Super Mario Odyssey''===

In ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', blocks of cheese called '''Cheese Rocks''' appear throughout the [[Luncheon Kingdom]] as platforms and obstacles. They can be broken via the frying pans thrown by [[Hammer Bro]]s, and are sometimes used to cover up various items such as [[Golden Turnip]]s, [[Lever Switch]]es, and [[Moon Shard]]s. They are also used to block some stairs near the [[Luncheon Kingdom#Path to the Meat Plateau|Path to the Meat Plateau]], which are used in the [[Under the Cheese Rocks]] mission. According to the Luncheon Kingdom's brochure, the Cheese Rocks are formed because they are left near lava and dries out completely.

===''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''===
In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|remake]] of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', [[Bowser]] uses cheese to restore [[Brawl Point|BP]] instead of [[Syrup Jar]]s. They recover fifteen [[Brawl Point]]s when eaten. There are stronger variants of regular cheese: [[Super Cheese]], [[Ultra Cheese]], and [[Miracle Cheese]]. Also, Bowser's equivalent of the [[Star Candy]] is the [[Cheesy Drumstick]].
