{{Quote|If your health is low, just eat a Maxim Tomato to fully heal yourself. (They're packed with nutrients!) Did these fall through the same vortex as Kirby and his friends, or were they in the new world already? It's hard to tell, but everyone seems to enjoy them—even the Beast Pack!|[[Figure]] description from ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]''}}
'''Maxim Tomato''' is an iconic recurring recovery [[item]] found throughout the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], although it is rather uncommon to come across on its own. It is a big, red, juicy tomato with the letter "M" stamped on the front; it serves as a source of [[food]] that restores [[Kirby]]'s health meter entirely or, in ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]'', grants a full 100 [[fruit]] points. This item is usually found in easily-overlooked hiding places, areas that are difficult to traverse, or areas that can only be reached with certain [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]], especially in more difficult levels and modes.

Maxim Tomatoes are often featured growing in trees or otherwise made available in the rest areas of [[The Arena]] and other [[Boss Endurance]] modes. They are distinct from ordinary tomatoes, which appear as a common [[food]] item that restores a small amount of health (particularly in the rest areas of [[The True Arena]] and other difficult boss endurance modes).

[[#Profiles|Instruction manuals and flavor text]] commonly state that Maxim Tomatoes are Kirby's favorite food; this was first mentioned in the instruction manual of ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]''.<ref name="DL2 manual">{{Cite manual|game=Kirby's Dream Land 2|page=21}}</ref> Their restorative properties do not apply just to Kirby, but also to any other playable character, as well as [[King Dedede & Meta Knight]] (when fought as a boss in ''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]''). According to [[Shinya Kumazaki]], even [[Daroach]] — who dislikes ordinary tomatoes — will eat Maxim Tomatoes without complaining.<ref>[[Kirby Star Allies Channel|Nintendo Switch News Channel - ''Kirby Star Allies'' Channel #11]]</ref><ref>This is also mentioned in [https://kirby.fandom.com/ja/wiki/あつめて!_カービィ/セリフ集 the Japanese version of ''Kirby Mass Attack''.] Daroach says: 「リンゴよりバナナ バナナよりメロン メロンよりトマト… オレはトマトは好きではないがマキシムトマトはさぞかしうまいんだろうな」, which translates to, "Bananas are better than apples. Melons are better than bananas. Tomatoes are better than melons... I don't like tomatoes, myself, but I bet Maxim Tomatoes are real good." The English equivalent of that dialogue is, "Bananas are better than apples. And melons? Better yet. Maxim Tomatoes produce the juiciest results of all."</ref>

== Game appearances ==
===''Kirby's Dream Land''===
[[File:KDL Maxim Tomato cache.png|thumb|Kirby finding a Bag of Magic Food in [[Green Greens]], in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]''.]]
Maxim Tomatoes (here referred to as '''Bag of Magic Food'''<ref>{{Cite manual|game=Kirby's Dream Land|page=14}}</ref>) make their first appearance in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'' as a very uncommon food item.

===''Kirby's Adventure'' / ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land''===
Maxim Tomatoes return in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' and ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'', being finally given its proper name in the manual. Here, in addition to being found in certain places, [[Poppy Bros. Jr.]] can be seen riding them. To get the tomato, Kirby has to inhale the enemy. Attacking any other way will destroy the tomato first. Maxim Tomatoes are also rewarded for defeating the opponent in an [[Arena (Kirby's Adventure)|Arena]].

===''Kirby's Pinball Land''===
In ''[[Kirby's Pinball Land]]'', Maxim Tomatoes are not used to recover health (as health does not exist in this game). Instead, they appear to temporarily block the central drain when the right conditions are met on the pinball land being played on.

===''Kirby's Dream Land 2''===
In ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'', Maxim Tomatoes return and serve their usual function. Here they are simply referred to in the manual as '''Tomato'''<ref name="DL2 manual"/>. In addition to being found in regular stages, tomatoes can also be obtained by playing the [[Goal Game]].

===''Kirby's Toy Box''===
Maxim Tomato along with two Energy Drinks in ''[[Kirby's Toy Box#Kirby's Toy Box - Pinball|Kirby's Toy Box - Pinball]]'' is a helpful item rewarded for lighting up certain targets on the field. It is temporarily placed directly between the flippers and protects pinballs from draining.

===''Kirby Super Star'' / ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''===
[[File:KSS Gameplay 2.png|thumb|200px|Kirby and King Dedede racing towards a Maxim Tomato in [[Gourmet Race]] in ''Kirby Super Star''.]]
Maxim Tomatoes appear in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. They can be found in stages and in the [[Goal Game]] in [[Dyna Blade (main game)|Dyna Blade]]. In [[Gourmet Race]], they are worth 3 points as opposed to 1 point for other [[food]] items. In [[The Arena]], five Maxim Tomatoes are available from a tree in the rest area. In [[Helper to Hero]], there are three tomatoes.

In the [[Sub-Game]] [[Snack Tracks]], Maxim Tomatoes appear along the conveyor belts and are worth 6 points. However, there is sometimes a [[Capiller|bug]] inside the tomato, which has to be removed first.

===''Kirby's Dream Land 3''===
Maxim Tomatoes appear in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'', serving their usual purpose. They can also be collected during the [[Goal Game]].

===''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards''===
Maxim Tomatoes appear in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'', serving their usual purpose (here they are just called "Tomatoes" by the instruction booklet). They can also be collected during the [[Bonus Game]] and can be painted for Kirby by [[Adeleine]]. When re-matching a boss, it will drop a Maxim Tomato for Kirby when it is defeated.

===''Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble''===
[[File:KTnT Level 1-1 16.png|thumb|In ''Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble'', a Maxim Tomato is one of the things that Kirby can get from a [[? Hole]] roulette.]]
In ''[[Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble]]'', Maxim Tomatoes (referred to in the manual as just "Tomatoes") can be found in stages, either out in the open, hidden behind blocks, or inside [[Treasure Chest]]s. They can also be obtained from roulettes triggered by [[? Hole]]s and from [[Gordo]]s when they are flipped. Notably, there are some food items in this game that are more valuable than Maxim Tomatoes (hamburgers and cake) which can only be obtained from the [[Treasure Chest|treasure chest]] opened prior to a boss fight, as these items will overfill Kirby's health beyond its normal maximum.

===''Kirby Air Ride''===
In ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]'', Maxim Tomatoes can appear alongside other food items in the [[City Trial]] game mode. They can appear in [[Container|blue boxes]], from the Star Pole, in the Castle Hall secret chamber, in the volcano grottos, from [[Tac]], or out in the open.

===''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror''===
Maxim Tomatoes appear in ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]''. They can be found out in the open, in treasure chests, or as a gift from [[CPU]] Kirbys when they are called using the [[Cell Phone]].

===''Kirby: Canvas Curse''===
[[File:MadMechanical.jpg|thumb|200px|Kirby approaching a Maxim Tomato in a pre-release version of ''Kirby: Canvas Curse''.]]
Maxim Tomatoes appear in ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]'', and can be found at various points in stages. They can also be found in [[Paint Panic]] and [[Cart Run]].

===''Kirby: Squeak Squad''===
Maxim Tomatoes appear in ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]''. They can be found out in the open or during the [[Goal Game]]. They can also be created using the [[Copy Palette]] by combining other bubbled food items together.

===''Kirby Mass Attack''===
In ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]'', Maxim Tomatoes have a different function, due to the different health system in the game. Instead of healing the Kirbys, collecting a Maxim Tomato will add 100 points to the [[Fruit]] gauge, which is enough to completely fill it and either add an extra Kirby or award 10000 points if there are already ten Kirbys.

In the Sub-Game [[Kirby Quest]], Maxim Tomatoes are provided by the opponents [[Chef Kawasaki]], [[Chef Shiitake]], and [[Max Flexer]], assuming they are defeated properly. These tomatoes do heal the Kirbys.

=== ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' / ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' ===
Maxim Tomatoes appear in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''. Here, they can be found out in the open or inside [[Maxim Tomato box]]es.

In [[The Arena]], five Maxim Tomatoes are available in the rest area, one of which is inside a box. In [[The True Arena]], only three tomatoes are available.

===''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''===
Maxim Tomatoes appear in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]''. Here, they can be found out in the open, during the [[Goal Game]], or from [[Assist Star]]s tossed to Kirby by [[Bandana Waddle Dee]]. There is also a special variety of Maxim Tomato called a [[Reviving Tomato]] which can be used to revive Kirby if he is K.O.'d, but this tomato is only given out if Kirby repeatedly fails a boss fight.

In [[The Arena]], five Maxim Tomatoes are available in the rest area, one of which is inside an Assist Star. In [[The True Arena]], only the Assist Star tomato is available, along with some smaller tomatoes.

Additionally, the Maxim Tomato appears as a [[keychain]], depicted as its sprite from ''Kirby's Adventure''.

=== ''Kirby Fighters'' series ===
[[File:KF2 Story Mode Chapter 4 DDDMK Tomato.jpg|thumb|250px|Meta Knight with his half of the Maxim Tomato which King Dedede shared with him in ''Kirby Fighters 2''.]]
In the [[Kirby Fighters (series)|''Kirby Fighters'' games]], Maxim Tomatoes restore 120 HP in standard battles. In ''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]'', they also appear as distinct story items in [[Story Mode: The Destined Rivals]], where they restore 80% health to Kirby and his buddy.

In Chapter 4 of Story Mode: The Destined Rivals, [[King Dedede & Meta Knight]] split a Maxim Tomato in half to restore their health after their first health bar is drained. This is the first time a [[Boss]] has used a Maxim Tomato. Since the tomato is split in half, its insides are seen for the first time; the tomato's inner veins are shaped like a star. Interestingly, this usage suggests that eating only half of a Maxim Tomato has the same effect as eating one whole.

=== ''Kirby and the Rainbow Curse'' ===
Maxim Tomatoes can be found in ''[[Kirby and the Rainbow Curse]]'' at various points in stages. Like other items, they are worth 500 points when collected in addition to restoring health.

=== ''Kirby: Planet Robobot'' ===
Maxim Tomatoes appear in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]''. Much like in ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'', they can be found out in the open, during the [[Goal Game]], or from [[Assist Star]]s tossed to Kirby by [[Bandana Waddle Dee]]. Reviving Tomatoes return in this game as well.

In The Arena, Maxim Tomatoes can appear inside [[Assist Star]]s in the rest areas. Maxim Tomatoes do not appear in The True Arena.

Additionally, the Maxim Tomato appears as a [[Sticker (Kirby: Planet Robobot)|sticker]], depicted as its artwork from ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land''.

=== Team Kirby Clash / ''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe'' / ''Super Kirby Clash'' ===
Maxim Tomatoes appear in the [[Team Kirby Clash (series)|Team Kirby Clash games]] as an item that can randomly spawn during battles, usually only when a player is low on health. Just like in every other ''Kirby'' game, grabbing one fully restores the health of the Kirby who picked it up and can then be [[Face-to-Face|shared with their allies]].

=== ''Kirby Battle Royale'' ===
In ''[[Kirby Battle Royale]]'', the Maxim Tomato appears not as a regular item, but instead as a [[Boost Orb]] that can be used during battles.

=== ''Kirby Star Allies'' ===
Maxim Tomatoes appear in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''. They can be found out in the open, inside treasure chests and other containers, painted from blank signs, obtained during the [[Goal Game]], or obtained from [[amiibo]]. They also appear in the rest area of [[The Ultimate Choice]], though the number available depends on the difficulty selected.

Maxim Tomatoes also feature in the [[Celebration Picture]] titled "A Delicious Picnic".

===''Kirby and the Forgotten Land''===
[[File:KatFL cafe game gameplay screenshot.jpg|thumb|250px|Kirby serving a Maxim Tomato to a Waddle Dee customer at the Waddle Dee Café.]]
In ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', Maxim Tomatoes can be found as one of several food items Kirby must pass out to Waddle Dees in the [[Waddle Dee Café: Help Wanted!]] [[Sub-Game]]. Kirby can also order a Maxim Tomato himself when he is off-duty to eat at the top floor of the café or take on the go to a stage as a [[Stock Item]]. They are also generally accessible in open-space stages and are usually placed in the hallways that lead to bosses.

One of the collectible [[figure]]s from Vol. 1 features a Maxim Tomato.

=== ''Super Smash Bros.'' series ===
In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, the Maxim Tomato is a recovery item, healing fifty points of damage (one hundred points in the orginal ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''). Despite its name and function in the ''Kirby'' games, it is never the most potent recovery item in any particular ''Super Smash Bros.'' game, always in the very least surpassed by the [[smashwiki:Heart Container|Heart Container]].

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', the Maxim Tomato also appears as a [[Smashwiki:List of stickers (Kirby series)|sticker]]. When equipped, it applies the "Maxim Tomato Effect" +50 to Kirby, King Dedede, or Meta Knight. This means that it heals 50 more points of damage for these characters than it otherwise would.

== Games in which Maxim Tomatoes do not appear ==
The following are ''Kirby'' games which do not feature the Maxim Tomato:
*''[[Kirby's Dream Course]]'' (still features tomatoes as health, but not Maxim Tomatoes)
*''[[Kirby's Avalanche]]''
*''[[Kirby's Block Ball]]''
*''[[Kirby's Star Stacker (Game Boy)|Kirby's Star Stacker]]'' for [[Game Boy]]

*''[[Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition]]'' (aside from the games featured)
*''[[Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe]]''
*''[[Kirby's Blowout Blast]]''
*''[[Kirby's Dream Buffet]]'' (appears on a [[Character Treat]], but not as an item)

British English: ''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! ''

== Trivia ==
*The term ''[[wiktionary:maxim|maxim]]'' appears to be a shortened form of ''maximum'', even though there are other uses of the word, such as a synonym for the word ''axiom'', both of which are loosely defined as "statements which are obviously true".
