Pepper



A Pepper is a type of spicy fruit that can either be green, red, or blue. They are most hated food of the Yoshis. However Black Yoshis and White Yoshis seem to like them in Yoshi's Story. Red and Green Peppers appeared in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, and all of these plus a new Blue Pepper appear in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. In the Mario & Luigi games, they serve as stat boosters; Green Peppers raise defense, Red raises attack, and Blue raises speed. In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, they only affected one character, but in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, they affected both characters currently fighting.

Peppers also appeared with the other fruit in Super Mario Sunshine at Delfino Plaza. If a Yoshi eats one, it will turn purple, but a Yoshi will never require one to hatch out of his egg. It is also used to defeat King Boo at the Casino of Hotel Delfino. By throwing a pepper at his tongue, King Boo shall be dealt damage.
