| —Super Smash Bros. instruction booklet description | ||
The Maxim Tomato (マキシムトマト, Maxim Tomato) is a healing item from the Kirby series, which reduces the damage percentage of the player who picks it up. It is often misnamed "Maximum Tomato" or "Tomato".
In Super Smash Bros.
In Super Smash Bros., the Maxim Tomato restores 100% from a character's damage percentage. In SSB, any damage the character takes is ignored while healing.
In Super Smash Bros. Melee
Beginning in Super Smash Bros. Melee, the Maxim Tomato recovers 50% from a character's damage percentage, with Heart Containers taking the previous function of healing 100%. Also beginning in Melee, damage taken while healing will be subtracted from the amount healed by the tomato. For example, if an attack does 10% damage, the tomato will "absorb" it into its 50% recovery, and the user only recovers 40% damage.
Trophy
Maxim Tomatoes cure 50 percentage points of your accumulated damage. Once you eat one, after a brief moment, your damage meter slowly drains the appropriate amount, regardless of whether or not you pick up another item right afterwards. In the Kirby series, these juicy, health-restoring items were a favorite of the pink hero.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Maxim Tomatoes return in Brawl, functioning identically to Melee.
Trophy
A juicy tomato that heals 50 percentage points of the damage you've accumulated. When one of these appears in combat, rest assured there will be a race to see who can reach it first. It's a race of desperation between players who want to heal their damage and those who want to stop them from doing so. In the Kirby series, Maxim Tomatoes healed all damage.

In Super Smash Bros. 4
Maxim Tomatoes reappear in SSB4; their function remains unchanged from the previous two installments.
Trophy
- Maxim Tomato
A tomato marked with a large, black M. This is Kirby's favorite snack, and in the past it has fully restored Kirby's health. The ones that show up in Smash Bros. aren't from the same crop, though, and only heal 50 points of damage. That'll still help you in a fight—unless an enemy eats it first.
A big, juicy tomato with the letter M on it. In the Kirby series, it's Kirby's favourite treat, and it heals damage completely. Sadly, in this game, it only takes 50 off your damage, but it's still a hot item among badly hurt players...and players who just want to stop others from getting it!- : Kirby's Dream Land (08/1992)

Origin
Maxim Tomatoes made their first appearance in Kirby's Dream Land. They completely restore Kirby's health. Maxim Tomatoes have appeared in numerous Kirby games since, and usually function identically to their first appearance. In the Super Smash Bros. games, Maxim Tomatoes only restore fifty percent of a player's health rather than fully restoring it. The design of the Maxim Tomato has also been retained from Kirby's Dream Land.
