'''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.

 

 

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 9-12% of the player's health, with a majority often recovering below 6%.

Three stages in the series, [[Green Greens]], the [[Summit]], and [[Tortimer Island]], dispense unique foods: Green Greens features [[Apple]]s, the Summit features {{b|Vegetables|Ice Climber}} from the original ''Ice Climber'' game (complete with unique sound effects from the game when consumed), and Tortimer 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 Summit, the Vegetables will never spawn; it is unknown if this is the case for Tortimer Island.

[[Yoshi's Story]] has [[Shy Guy]]s flying around that carry normal food, which repeatedly shifts between different types of food as they hold onto it unless they drop it when attacked. If items are turned off, the food will disappear but the Shy Guys will remain.

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, this does not happen if food is disabled; they will either explode or drop other items.

Five characters ([[Peach]], [[Daisy]], [[Diddy Kong]], [[Villager]], and [[Mr. Game & Watch]]) can spawn Food themselves. Peach can summon a variety of peaches as part of [[Peach Blossom]]. Daisy can summon daisies with [[Daisy Blossom]]. In ''Brawl'', Diddy Kong's [[Peanut Popgun]] and [[Rocketbarrel Barrage]] can potentially spawn shelled peanuts. Mr. Game & Watch summons food with [[Judge]] hammer #7 (1 random food item in ''Melee'', 1 apple in ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', 3 apples in ''Ultimate''). Villager's [[Timber]] has a very small chance of dropping a cherry, orange, pear, apple, or peach.

''Brawl'' added a technique called '''Eating While Reclining''' ({{ja|倒れアイテム食べ|Taore aitemu tabe}}, '''Eating items while downed''' 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 the attack button 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 no practical use, and it can even be detrimental; knocked-down players will be unable to use their getup attack if they land near food, removing a getup option, and since the action leaves players vulnerable, it may even get players unaware of this obscure mechanic's existence punished for trying to use a getup attack near food.

==List of food==

Food comes in many varieties, some of which only appear in certain games. ''Ultimate'' has 36 types of food that are not character-exclusive, while previous games have 28. As a general rule, the more mass a piece of food has, the more damage it heals.

The Food item appears as a trophy in ''Melee'', ''Brawl'', and ''Smash 4''. The ''Ice Climber'' vegetables also appear as a trophy in ''Brawl''.

===In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''===

|desc=These food items will restore your health when you eat them. There are 28 different types of food, and the nutritional value and yumminess quotient differs slightly with each type. Party Balls tend to hold the largest amount of food items. You may be vulnerable when gorging yourself, but you do need to eat to survive.

Party Balls contain a lot of food, so if you eat it all yourself, you can really lower your damage. There may be times when you laugh and walk away from food, and times when you watch someone else eating and cry.

[[File:IceClimberSymbol.svg|thumb|100px|The eggplant used as the {{uv|Ice Climber}} [[symbol]].]]

*The eggplant is used as the [[symbol]] for the Ice Climbers in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and all subsequent games, even though vegetables themselves do not appear in ''Melee''.

*[[Snake]] and [[Steve]] are the only characters who make unique sounds whenever they consume food or similar items, such as the [[Maxim Tomato]], [[Superspicy Curry]] and healing items generated by characters such as [[Power Pellet]]s. In Snake's case, this references what [[Naked Snake]] would do upon consuming food in ''[[Metal Gear (universe)|Metal Gear Solid 3]]''; in Steve's case, this references Steve's unique munching sound in ''Minecraft''.

*The milk in ''Brawl'', ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'' says "Smash Milk" on its sides.

*In {{for3ds}}'s and ''Ultimate''{{'}}s [[Training Mode]], all food initially appears to be a cherry when time does not advance. The food type will change as normal time is advanced.

*In ''Ultimate''{{'}}s Training Mode, if the game speed is altered, food that is spawned in will appear and sometimes change to a cherry a few frames later. The food item will recover the amount of what initially appeared, giving the appearance of cherries healing random amounts or having varying sizes.<ref>[https://youtu.be/-sI2Rkwj62Y Time manipulated cherry glitch]</ref>
