Fruit (Yoshi food)

Berries (also referred to as Apples ) are fruit found in Dinosaur Land in Super Mario World. Yoshis can eat them for the value of one coin, however no points are given when a fruit is eaten. In this game three kinds of berries can be found. Red-colored berries gives 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.



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

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.



In Paper Mario, there are several Berry species in Flower Fields. Red Berries, Blue Berries, Yellow Berries, Bubble Berries, and Crystal Berries all appear in the game.
