'''{{wp|Fruit}}s''' are a type of botanical, naturally produced food that hangs in trees and bushes and usually bears seeds inside it. There are many kinds of fruit that grow in the wild or on cultivated land in the [[Mushroom World]], from [[Earth|real-world]] ones such as [[apple]]s, [[banana]]s, and [[watermelon]]s to fictional ones such as the [[Fruit (Yoshi food)|red fruits]] that debuted in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and the [[Heart Fruit]]s from ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. Fruits typically tend to be the favorite food of the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]], but they have also been enjoyed by the [[Kong|Kong family]] and various other creatures in the ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' franchise.

Fruit is more prevalent in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', where every Kong (except for [[Tiny Kong]]) uses fruit as ammo from their personal weapon. Aside from that, the active Kong's current health is measured in Watermelons, and [[Orange]]s are ammunition acting just like grenades.

Fruits make their first ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', in the form of [[Cherry|Cherries]] floating in the air.

Later, [[fruit (Yoshi food)|fruit]]s (known as '''berries''') appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', where Red and Green Berries hang from bushes. [[Yoshi]] can eat these fruits to gain extra [[point]]s. The fruits act the same way later in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''.

In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', various types of fruit appear in every [[level]] of the game. Fruits are mainly used to feed a Yoshi. A Yoshi's [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]] will hatch only if the Yoshi's requested fruit is carried to him. If the Yoshi does not eat a fruit every few minutes or so, his [[juice]] meter will empty and he will go back into his egg. The Yoshi's color depends on the fruit he eats: If he eats a [[papaya]] or [[pineapple]], he will be orange; if he eats [[banana]]s or a [[coconut]], he will be pink; and if he eats a [[durian]] or [[pepper]], he will be purple. [[Watermelon]]s also make an appearance during the Watermelon Festival at [[Gelato Beach]], where they are extremely large and very fragile; the [[Pianta]]s hold a watermelon size contest and make watermelon smoothies during the festival.

====''Yoshi's Story''====

Fruits (referred to as "'''Super Happy Tree Fruits'''" in a preview)<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Issue #57, page 6.</ref> also appear in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', where if a Yoshi eats 30 fruits, they will advance to the next level. Fruits can often be found floating around in [[bubble]]s. After a Yoshi eats a fruit, it appears in the Yoshi's [[Fruit Frame]]. There are 60 fruits in each stage of the game: 30 [[melon]]s, 12 [[Lucky Fruit]]s, and 18 "ordinary" fruits.

 

Fruit slices appear in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and [[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World|its Nintendo 3DS remake]] as the main collectibles in the [[Bonus Game (Yoshi's Woolly World)|Bonus Game]].

In the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series, fruits appear as one of food items. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', fruits appear on the [[Tortimer Island]] stage, where trees bear them. Attacking trees that bear fruits will make the fruits fall down, allowing players to grab them to recover health. Unlike the other fruits, Coconuts that appear are not edible and can instead be used as a throwing item.
