The use of food as an item in video games is not uncommon, and some Nintendo games also featured the use of food in such a way. In ''{{b|Ice Climber|game}}'', for example, a variety of vegetables appear in each level. If a player collects all the vegetables, they are awarded a bonus. ''{{s|mariowiki|Yoshi's Story}}'' required [[Yoshi]] 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. In the {{uv|Castlevania}} series, there are often food items placed throughout [[Dracula's Castle]] to replenish or deplete the health depending on the food item.
