Cheese

Cheese is an item found in the real world and also on the Mushroom Planet. It is found in the games Donkey Kong 64 and Luigi's Mansion.

In Luigi's Mansion, cheese is, much like in the Rare, Ltd. game Perfect Dark, placed in rooms rather spontaneously. However, unlike in Perfect Dark, the Luigi's Mansion cheese has a point: If Luigi selects it with the Game Boy Horror, a Gold Mouse will be triggered. This mouse will then appear whenever Luigi crosses a randomly selected mousehole, which will be announced by a distinct chime; Luigi can suck this mouse up for lots of money. This cheese appears only in the dark.

Thanks to its fame as a well-known, household object, cheese has been found in other games, mostly in other forms. Examples of this include Cheese Bridge and Cheese Land. Cheese also appears as one of the many generic Food items in Super Smash Bros. Melee, and also makes minor appearances as a part of other items (such as the hamburger, where it can be seen as a sort of a condiment).
