| |
| '''Apples''' serve many differing roles within the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], appearing either as hazards to be avoided, [[food]] to be eaten, or in some other capacity. Apples are most commonly associated with [[Whispy Woods]] who almost always drops them during fights, but they can be dropped by other entities as well.
| |
| | |
| When not trying to avoid having them dropped on his head, Kirby is quite fond of eating apples, either inhaling them whole or taking bites out of them in cutscenes. Despite this, apples do not normally appear as food in most games, particularly in those which feature apples as hazardous objects.

| Apples are inanimate objects about the size of [[Kirby]], usually dropped by [[Whispy Woods]], that can damage playable characters on contact. They yield no [[Copy Ability]] when swallowed, nor do they restore [[health]]. As such, their main use is as ammunition against Whispy Woods or other enemies that use them, such as [[Poppy Bros. Jr.]], who can sometimes be seen balancing on them. | | '''Apples''' are inanimate objects, usually dropped by [[Whispy Woods]], that can damage [[Kirby]] or another playable character on contact. They yield no [[Copy Ability]] when swallowed, nor do they restore [[Vitality]], so their only real use is to spit back at Whispy with. |
| | |
| Against common expectation, apples appear far more often as hazards to be avoided in the ''Kirby'' series than otherwise. This tradition started with ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'' and has persisted throughout the entire series, with only a few games assigning apples to other roles.
| |
| | |
| ===Game appearances===
| |
| ====''Kirby's Dream Land''====
| |
| Apples first appear in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]''. They can mainly be seen in the [[Green Greens]] stage, either being balanced on by [[Poppy Bros. Jr.]] or being dropped from Whispy Woods' canopy. Apples are worth 400 points when destroyed.

| |
| | |

| | |
| ====''Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition''====
| |
| In addition to appearing in all classic titles of ''[[Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition]]'', apples appear alongside Whispy Woods in the [[Smash Combat Chamber EX]] of [[New Challenge Stages]].
| |
| | |
| ====''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'' / ''Kirby Fighters Deluxe''====
| |
| In ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]''{{'}}s [[Kirby Fighters]] Sub-Game and ''[[Kirby Fighters Deluxe]]'', [[King Dedede]] can toss apples at the battling Kirbys in the [[Dedede Arena]] Battle Stage.

| |
| | |
| ====''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe'' / ''Super Kirby Clash''====

| |
| | |
| ====''Kirby Star Allies''====
| |
| Apples return alongside Whispy Woods in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', and are also dropped by [[Parallel Woods]]. In addition, they can both drop special hot fruit on vines which grant the [[Fire]] ability when swallowed, or can be struck with an opposing element to produce goodies.
| |
|
| |
|
| ====''Kirby Fighters 2''====
| | In cut-scenes, such as those in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'', Kirby can be seen eating an apple and enjoying it, but counter-intuitively enough, in-game apples are not [[Food]] items, and will in fact harm Kirby if he touches them. Their main use is as ammunition against Whispy Woods or other enemies that use them, such as [[Poppy Bros. Jr.]], who can sometimes be seen balancing on one. |
| In ''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]'', apples can once again be tossed by [[King Dedede]] as a hazard in [[Dedede Arena]]. | |
|
| |
|
| Apples, both regular and flying varieties, also appear when fighting [[Twin Woods]] in [[Story Mode: The Destined Rivals]].
| | ==''Kirby: Battle Royale''== |
| | | [[File:KBR 01.jpg|thumb|right|250px|A screenshot of Kirbys carrying stacks of Apples in ''Battle Royale''.]] |
| {{clear}}
| | In the [[Apple Scramble]] game, the objective is to grab as many Apples as possible from [[Mini Whispy Woods]] and deposit them in the collection area. Kirby can stack a great many apples over his head as he runs, but other Kirbys can attack him to get his apples. Red apples are each worth 1 point, but golden apples are worth 5. Additionally, apples can be tossed at rival Kirbys to knock them down. |
| | |
| ==As a non-hazardous object==
| |
| There are a few instances in the series where apples do not appear as hazardous objects, appearing instead either as food, as usable objects, or as props in cutscenes.
| |
| | |
| ===Game appearances===
| |
| ====''Kirby's Dream Land''====
| |
| [[File:KDL Apple food sprite.png]] In the ending cutscene of ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'', apples can be seen among the many types of food raining down onto [[Dream Land]] while [[Kirby]] says his bye-bye.
| |
| | |
| ====''Kirby Super Star'' / ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''====
| |
| At the end of the [[Dyna Blade (main game)|Dyna Blade]] game, Kirby is seen using Whispy Woods' apples to feed [[Dyna Blade]]'s chicks.
| |
| | |
| ====''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards''====
| |
| In the cutscene which plays after clearing [[Rock Star]], [[Adeleine]] paints food for her companions. She paints an apple for Kirby to eat.
| |
| | |
| ====''Kirby's Epic Yarn'' / ''Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn''====
| |
| A number of [[Furniture]] pieces in ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]'' either include or are themed after apples. This includes the Apple Table, the Fruit Bowl and the ''[[Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn]]''-exclusive Apple Juice Tower.
| |
| | |
| ====''Kirby Mass Attack''====
| |
| [[File:KMA Stage 10 Green Grounds 6.png|thumb|200px|Some green apples in ''Kirby Mass Attack''.]] | |
| {{main|Fruit}}
| |
| Apples appear as common collectable objects in ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]''. If a Kirby touches one, he will eat it, gaining a fruit point and 50 score points in the process. Gaining 100 fruit points results in a new Kirby being created. Some switches in the game spawn green apples which can be collected for a reward. If not collected in time they disappear and the Kirbys miss out on their reward. These still give the Kirbys fruit points and score.
| |
| | |
| ====''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''====
| |
| In the opening cutscene of the game, Kirby can be seen having munched on some apples before taking a nap under a tree.
| |
| | |
| ====''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe'' / ''Super Kirby Clash''====
| |
| {{main|Gem Apple}}
| |
| The primary currency in both ''[[Team Kirby Clash (series)|Kirby Clash]]'' games comes in the form of [[Gem Apple]]s, which can be obtained in various different ways, and are primarily spent at [[Magolor's Shoppe]]. Gem Apples also make minor appearances in various other games.
| |
| | |
| ====''Kirby Battle Royale''====
| |
| In the [[Apple Scramble]] game, the objective is to grab as many Apples as possible from [[Mini Whispy Woods]] and deposit them in the collection area. Kirby can stack many apples over his head as he runs (up to 20, though this is rarely seen), but other Kirbys can attack him to get his apples. Red apples are each worth 1 point, but golden apples are worth 5. Additionally, apples can be tossed at rival Kirbys to knock them down. | |
|
| |
|
| Apples also appear in [[Crazy Theater]], where the goal is sometimes to carry a specified amount of them before opponents do. | | Apples also appear in [[Crazy Theater]], where the goal is sometimes to carry a specified amount of them before opponents do. |

| | [[Category:Enemies]] |
| During the [[Magolor Soul]] fight in [[The True Arena]] of ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'', the boss spits out a single apple before the start of the second phase, which can be eaten by the players to restore their health. Notably, this is the only instance of this [[food]] item being spawned in the entire game.
