'''Food''' ({{ja|たべもの|Tabemono}}, ''Food'') is an item that, when used, recovers a small amount of the user's [[damage]]. Although they often spawn in groups from [[Party Ball]]s, the items can spawn on their own, and some items of food are unique to specific stages.

==Origins==

The use of food as an item in video games is not uncommon, and some Nintendo games also featured the use of fruit in such a way. ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', for instance, required the titular character to eat thirty fruits within a level to complete it; in these cases, the fruit also recovered some of his health. The ''{{uv|EarthBound}}'' series also featured the use of both everyday and esoteric foods as recovery items. Food that restored the player's health also appeared in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' as well as many other ''Kirby'' series games, acting as a common, yet low-powered method to recover Kirby's health; the use of food in the series is especially relevant to the item's appearance in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, as items featured in ''Melee'' would later reappear in ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]'' as a common, low-health recovery food.

Food commonly spawns on stages in the games, and large bundles of food are frequently dispensed from the [[Party Ball]]. As a relatively common item, food generally does not recover significant amounts of damage; the strongest food items recover only 9-to-12% of the player's health, with a majority often recovering below 6%.

In ''Brawl'', there is a special "gulp" sound effect for when characters consume food that happens to be a liquid, like the coffee or orange tonic items.

Three stages in the series, [[Green Greens]], the [[Summit]], and [[Tortimer's Island]], dispense unique foods; Green Greens features [[Apples]], the Summit features [[Vegetables]] from the original ''Ice Climber'' game (complete with sound effects from the game when consumed), and Tortimer's Island features some tropical fruits like {{s|wikipedia|lychee}}s. In the case of [[Green Greens]], some of the apples dropped by Whispy Woods will instead take the form of items that can be thrown at opponents; if items are turned off via the [[Item Switch]], these apples will always be the type that can be thrown. If items are disabled on The Summit, the Vegetables will never spawn; it is unknown if this is the case for Tortimer's Island.

The Pokémon [[Chansey]] in ''Melee'' can potentially drop [[Egg]]s as a part of Softboiled; these Eggs can potentially heal any players that pick up the items, though like the food items on stages, they will all be throwable if food is disabled.

Two characters, [[Peach]] and [[Diddy Kong]], can spawn Food in ''Brawl''; Peach can summon a variety of peaches as part of her [[Peach Blossom]] Final Smash, while Diddy Kong's [[Peanut Popgun]] and [[Rocketbarrel Barrage]] can potentially spawn shelled peanuts.  

''Brawl'' added a technique called '''Eating While Reclining''' ({{ja|倒れアイテム食べ}} ''Taore aitemu tabe'', '''Lying and eating items''' or '''DownEatU''' and '''DownEatD''' internally in ''Brawl'' files, depending on which side the character is lying). If a character lands hard by some food, the player can press A to grab and eat the food without needing to get up first.<ref>http://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/howto/technique/technique10.html</ref> This technique, however, has little practical use, and it can be seen as a [[nerf]], as knocked-down players will be unable to use their getup attack if they land near food.

*{{SSBB|Snake}} is the only character who makes unique sounds whenever he consumes food or similar items, such as the [[Maxim Tomato]] and even the [[Superspicy Curry]]. This references what [[Naked Snake]] would do upon consuming foodstuff in ''[[Metal Gear (universe)|Metal Gear Solid 3]]''.
