Not to be confused with Red Berry, an item in Paper Mario.

Berries (also mentioned as Apples, Nuts, and Yoshi Fruit) are recurring type of fruit eaten by Yoshis. They are usually red in color, and often yield some type of item. Berries first appear in Super Mario World.

In Super Mario series[]

Super Mario World[]

Red Berry SMW sprite

There are three types of Berries, and Yoshi can eat one either by extending his tongue out at it or by jumping at it. Yoshi can eat berries for the value of one coin.

The standard Berries are named Red Berries. If Yoshi eats ten of them within a level, he lays an egg which a Super Mushroom hatches from. In the remake Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2, a different power-up hatches from the egg depending on the Yoshi's color: Red Yoshi hatches a Fire Flower, Blue Yoshi lays a Cape Feather, and Yellow Yoshi lays a Starman.

The second variation is Pink Berries, and eating two of them lays a Yoshi Cloud that releases ten Bonus Coins that can be collected for a 1-Up Mushroom.

Lastly, there are Green Berries, the most rare variety encountered only in the level Funky. Eating a Green Berry adds 20 seconds to the time.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii[]

Berries specifically appear in levels with Yoshi. Eating five red Berries causes Yoshi to produce an item that Mario can use to progress through the remainder of the level.

The beta version featured a Yoshi Cookie, the equivalent of five Berries.

Super Mario Galaxy 2[]

Here, the berries are red, and referred to as Fruit in the game manual. Like in Super Mario World, Yoshi can eat Fruit by either touching it or from extending his tongue out at it. A difference from previous appearance is that doing so releases Star Bits.
