This article is about the Apple, a fruit with several different uses. For the fruit eaten by Yoshi in the Super Mario series, see Fruit (Yoshi food).

In the Super Mario franchise, Apples are fruits that have a variety of uses.

History

Super Mario Bros. Print World

Applies in the "Ruler & Apple" border of Super Mario Bros. Print World

Apples first appear in Super Mario Bros. Print World as part of the selectable border entitled Ruler & Apple.

Yoshi

NES (left), Game Boy (right)

Apples appear in Yoshi, after the player clears levels 6 and 7 of the B-Type game, rewarding the player 300 points. In this game, they closely visually resemble the fruits eaten by Yoshi in Super Mario World.

Yoshi's Story

An apple from Yoshi's Story

In Yoshi's Story, apples are the Red Yoshi and Pink Yoshi's favorite fruit, along with melons. They are also part of the Super Happy Tree. If any colored Yoshi eats 30 apples in any level, a picture of an apple will appear behind him and sway back and forth.

Mario's Time Machine

SNES (left), PC (right)

The apple that caused Isaac Newton to first speculate on the concept of gravity is one of the historical objects stolen by Bowser in Mario's Time Machine. Mario rescues the apple from Bowser's Museum and manages to return it to 1687 so that it can properly fall for Newton.

Wario Land series

Wario can turn into Fat Wario if he eats an apple thrown to him by an Appleby (in Wario Land 3) or a Ringosukī (in Wario Land 4). Large apple monsters called Bigs appear in Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3.

WarioWare: Touched!

In the prologue movie for his stage in WarioWare: Touched!, Dr. Crygor uses an apple core to demonstrate his recent Tri-phonic Undulating Nanobot Automaton. The core converts into an apple after the demonstration. However, when Dr. Crygor enters the compartment of the TUNA, it closes on him along with the apple. This results in Dr. Crygor being merged with the apple, upgrading him.

Paper Mario series

Paper Mario

In Paper Mario, they are a cheap item found only in Boo's Mansion. One is able to find Apples by simply Spin Jumping on various crates in the right room of the first floor of the mansion. They heal five HP, and they are one of the ingredients used to make Apple Pies, the other being Cake Mix.

Super Paper Mario

Super Paper Mario brings back apples; however, in the game, there is no such item named "Apple". Instead, there is a similar item, the Red Apple. Also, this game introduces new apples, including the taboo Black Apple (which wakes up Princess Peach), the luscious but cursed Golden Apple, the mustache-inducing Yellow Apple, the fruit-transforming Pink Apple, and the shrinking Blue Apple. All apples in this game simply restore five HP, except for the Black Apple, which restores only one when used on a playable character; the above ailments are induced only when they are given to a non-playable character. The more-useful Primordial Fruit introduced earlier in Super Paper Mario also slightly resembles that game's apples, although the two items' exact relations are unknown.

Yoshi Topsy-Turvy

Apples have a rather large role in Yoshi Topsy-Turvy, where Bowser turns all of the Egglings into apples when they fly to Yoshi's Island after the Koopa Troop's attack on their homeland. The Spirit Who Loves Cuteness, a friend of the Egglings, is dumbfounded and enlists Yoshi to seek the apples and eat them, which restores the Egglings to their initial forms. The apples in this game are red and green, and, while the two colors of apple can be found doing anything regardless of any kind of coloration code, green ones typically stay in one spot and most red apples glide downward on parachutes.

Yoshi Touch & Go

Apples also appear in Yoshi Touch & Go, which Yoshi can eat. They each give him only one egg.

Mario Sports Mix

Apples appear in Mario Sports Mix, in the basketball minigame called Feed Petey, and give players thirty points if they shoot one in Petey Piranha's mouth.

Yoshi's Woolly World

In Yoshi's Woolly World, red apple slices appear in Bonus Games.

Yoshi's Crafted World

An apple in Yoshi's Crafted World

In Yoshi's Crafted World, apples may appear after hitting a Time Cloud. If Yoshi eats them all within the time limit, a Smiley Flower appears. There are also costumes based on red, yellow, and green apples that Yoshi can wear. While the red and yellow ones are gained from Acorn Forest, the green one is gained from Shadowville.

Mario Kart Tour

The Apple Kart, Green Apple Kart, and Poison Apple Kart in Mario Kart Tour

Although apples do not appear in Mario Kart Tour, the Apple Kart and two of its variants, the Green Apple Kart and Poison Apple Kart, are based on apples.
