'''Bonus Fruit''' ({{ja|フルーツターゲット|Furūtsu Tāgetto}}, ''Fruits Target'') is [[Pac-Man]]'s [[neutral special move]].

==Overview==
A [[charge]]able move, Pac-Man holds out a bonus item from his original appearance and cycles through them, starting at the iconic Cherry. The items cycle in the same order they do in the original arcade game: Cherry, Strawberry, Orange, Apple, Melon, Boss Galaxian, Bell, and Key. Pac-Man cannot cycle past the key, and will instead put the key away for later use. After reaching the Orange, each item takes longer to charge.

Pac-Man can save his selected fruit by shielding, jumping, or dodging, and continues to cycle starting from the last fruit he selected by holding the special button (tapping it will instead use the stored fruit). On the ground, Pac-Man can quickly interrupt the charging process by tapping the shield button. Interrupting the charge in midair in this manner is significantly more difficult, though the player can also [[air dodge]] to cancel the charge. During the charging process, opponents can attack the item, which causes [[hitlag]] but no other effects; however, this allows charging fruits to cancel [[projectile]]s. Additionally, as each fruit cycle is considered a new item, this can cause strange interactions when they collide with other items that do not disappear after one hit (such as a [[Gyro]]), as the opposing item will collide and seemingly "hover" in place as it experiences hitlag hitting each cycling fruit.

Once an item is selected, Pac-Man throws the item as a projectile, with each one having unique properties when thrown. Only one Bonus Fruit can exist at any time for each Pac-Man; it cannot be used again until the item thrown disappears from the stage, and Pac-Man cannot produce a Bonus Fruit if his opponent is currently holding it. Being hit either while charging or when holding a grabbed fruit as an item (regardless of whether it is Pac-Man or an opponent) has a high chance of causing the holder to drop the held fruit.

Thrown items can be caught out of the air (by opponents as well as by Pac-Man), and can be picked up while traveling or if they land on the ground, though they disappear quickly if left alone; if they collide with hitboxes (such as players or [[Fire Hydrant]]), they will pop upwards and disappear much quicker. If they have already been thrown normally as an item and do not collide with any hitboxes, the user cannot regrab the thrown item.

Bonus Fruits will follow their usual trajectories even if they collide with a surface; the exceptions are the Boss Galaxian and Bell, which stops traveling upon hitting a wall, and goes through solid surfaces during its initial travel, respectively. Their trajectories can be affected by exterior [[push]] sources, most notably from Fire Hydrant's water. If thrown in different angles as caught items, they behave in unique ways due to them still following their programmed behaviors, such as the Melon staying in place and drifting down slowly.

In ''Smash 4'', all Bonus Fruit variants can be re-caught and will not disappear for around 3 seconds upon coming to a rest if dropped from the air. In addition, each fruit bounces twice and has their "lifetime" refreshed upon each re-catch, giving Pac-Man a powerful and lasting item game once a fruit is caught. It is possible to accomplish several feats with proper technical skill (such as using the key to start [[zero-death]], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEVDvfzcvXU infinite footstool combos]). A compiled guide to re-catch every Bonus Fruit on competitively legal stages can be found [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lp3P7aJ_1dY here].

Special Move customization was added in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. These are the variations:
{{CustomSet|PacMan|Neutral|name1=Bonus Fruit|desc1=Summon a variety of fruit to throw at your foes.

# '''Bonus Fruit''': Default.
# '''Freaky Fruit''': Gives the fruit awkward and sporadic behavior, making them harder to avoid, at the cost of less damage. Also takes slightly longer to cycle past the orange. With the exception of the Boss Galaxian and Bell, all fruits disappear immediately on hit, preventing fruit-grabbing after hitting an opponent.

|-
|Orange||Travels very quickly in a straight line that is the length of Final Destination's platform before disappearing.||2%
|-
|Apple||Bounces extremely quickly across the stage. Starts off with short hops that don't cover much ground, but progressively get even faster and travels more distance as it continues.||9%
|-
|Melon||Travels into a high arc the length of half of Final Destination and bounces once. The second bounce sends it backwards, and it disappears before it touches the ground.||13%
|-
|Boss Galaxian||Travels rapidly in a straight line about the length of Final Destination before making a sudden turn, and flies the opposite direction at a 30 degree angle, loops around and travels in a straight line,  then disappears.||7%
|-
|Bell||Travels forward for a moment, before curving upwards and moving directly upwards rapidly. If hit up close, the opponent will be led into the second upward hit, though this may not work at higher percentages. Does not cause paralysis.||6%
|-
|Key||Stays in place upon being thrown, only hitting anything directly in front of Pac-Man. Disappears almost immediately, and does not have any knockback. When used on an airborne opponent, it has a strong [[meteor smash]] effect.||10%
|}
:3. '''Lazy Fruit''' (known as '''Bone-Idle Fruit''' in the PAL version): The fruit will travel at an excessively slow pace, and do not disappear, instead sticking around for a while. It also changes each fruit's general behavior, making them weaker, but harder to avoid.

==Fruit Recycle==
'''Fruit Recycle''', '''Fruit Recycling''', or '''Fruit Loops''' is a technique in ''Ultimate'' that allows Pac-Man to charge a Bonus Fruit again if he catches it. To do this, Pac-Man must first throw a Bonus Fruit, catch it and then begin charging Bonus Fruit again. This allows Pac-Man's Bonus Fruit to continue charging from the fruit he is currently holding. [[Reflection|Reflected]] fruit can be recycled if caught, but [[Pocket|Pocketed]] fruit cannot. {{SSBU|Kirby}} can also perform this technique by copying Pac-Man's Bonus Fruit ability using [[Inhale]].

Fruit Recycle allows Pac-Man to perform combos which are more complex and varied than previously possible in ''Smash 4''. It has several applications such as using a fruit to hit an enemy and then turning it into a different fruit to perform combo setups, or simply using [[Charge-cancel|charge cancelling]] to put a caught Bonus Fruit back into storage.

==Spirit==
The Bonus Fruit appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as a Novice-class [[support spirit]].

In [[Adventure Mode: World of Light]], the Bonus Fruit are presumably one of the countless spirits captured by [[Galeem]] during his takeover of the universe. The Bonus Fruit's spirit is located in the valley section of [[The Light Realm]].

The Bonus Fruit uses two {{SSBU|Pac-Man}} puppet fighters and is fought on the [[Pac-Land]] stage's [[Ω form]]. During the battle, the Pac-Man puppet fighters favor their Bonus Fruit neutral special while the player's fighter must defeat both fighters in twenty seconds, referencing the BOnus Fruit's short time span in ''PAC-MAN''.

==Origin==
[[File:Bonus Fruits.png|thumb|Bonus fruits in ''Pac-Man''.]]
Bonus fruits are one of the staples of the {{uv|Pac-Man}} games, inspired by the fruit symbols on {{s|wikipedia|slot machine}}s. In the original arcade game, they appear near the ghost's lair, and vanish after a set time. Consuming one yields bonus points depending on the fruit. The fruits in the original ''Pac-Man'' are, in order: Cherry, Strawberry, Orange, Apple, Melon, Boss Galaxian, Bell, and Key. Upon reaching the Key, the fruit no longer changes for the remainder of the game.  In the original arcade game, after reaching Orange, the fruit begins changing every other level rather than every level (meaning Orange appears for two levels, then Apple for two levels, and so on). This is reflected in Bonus Fruit by having its charge time double once it reaches Orange.

The paralyzing effect and sound effect of the Bell comes from the bell in {{uvm3|Mappy}},<ref>[https://youtu.be/3R_AVj4jxgY?t=506 Origin Of Bell's Effect]</ref> which would make any enemies freeze momentarily in place on contact.

The Boss Galaxian's movement and sound effect are based on its original appearance in {{uv|Galaxian}}.

==Trivia==
*Oddly enough, in the [[All-Star Rest Area]] and [[Online Practice Stage]], the Boss Galaxian will not make any sounds whatsoever when thrown.
*Bonus Fruits are not affected by the size of Pac-Man: for example, a Pac-Man under the effects of a [[Super Mushroom]] will still charge a standard-sized fruit.
