Dash Pepper

Dash Peppers are fruits appearing in Super Mario Galaxy 2 along with the Blimp Fruit and the Bulb Berry. If Yoshi eats a Dash Pepper, he will turn red and gain the ability to run much faster than normal; this power-up is known as Dash Yoshi. This allows Yoshi (and Mario) to run up steep hills, up vertical faces, and across water during a restricted period of time. While the power-up is in use, the music in the level speeds up. It is used primarily in the Hightail Falls Galaxy, where it is introduced. It is also used in the Starshine Beach Galaxy and the Bowser's Galaxy Generator.
