Fruit (Yoshi food)

Berries (also referred to as Apples ) are fruit found in Dinosaur Land. Yoshis can eat them and, depending on the color of the berry, get some kind of item.

Super Mario World
In Super Mario World, Yoshis could eat berries for a value of one coin. Three kinds of berries can be found in this game. Red-colored berries give Yoshis a power if they eat enough. Pink berries give a Cloud if enough are eaten. While the rare green berries add 20 seconds to the timer.



New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Red Berries also appear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, where they serve the same role.

Super Mario Galaxy 2
The red Berries reappear in Super Mario Galaxy 2. Yoshi can eat these to earn Star Bits. If ten berries are eaten, one life will be given. Super Mario Galaxy 2 also features large golden berries that Yoshi has to hold on to it with his tongue for a few seconds before he can eat it. It gives a Launch Star and five Star Bits when Yoshi eats it. This game also has a power-up called a Bulb Berry. When Yoshi eats a Bulb Berry he glows and can illuminate otherwise invisible ground.
