Item class	Damage Recovering

The Maxim Tomato (マキシムトマト, makishimu tomato) is an item that will reduce the damage percent of the person who picks it up. It is often mispronounced as "Maximum Tomato" or "Tomato".

• In SSB, it subtracts 100% from a character's damage percentage.
• In SSBM and SSBB, it subtracts 50% from a character's damage percentage.

In SSB, any damage the character takes is ignored while healing, but starting in SSBM, damage taken while healing will be subtracted from the amount healed by the tomato. For example, if an attack does 30% damage, the tomato will "absorb" it into it's 50% recovery, and the user only recovers 20% damage.

Melee Trophy Info

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.

Brawl Trophy Info

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.

Origin

The Maxim Tomato is from the Kirby series games. In the Kirby games, the Maxim Tomato restores all of Kirby's health, as opposed to its effects in the Super Smash Bros. games, wherein it only restores 50% of the character's damage (100% in the first game).
