Reviving Tomato

A Reviving Tomato is a special variety of Maxim Tomato which appears only inside of an Assist Star. If Kirby loses all of his Vitality while having a Revival Tomato in his inventory, it will completely revive him. This item will only be granted to Kirby by Bandana Waddle Dee if he fails a Boss fight three or more times (four or more in Triple Deluxe).
Given the requirement to obtain this item, it can only be obtained prior to Boss fights in the Story Mode, or the Extra Game. The Revival Tomato resembles a Maxim Tomato, but is gold, and has a star insignia on the front instead of an 'M'. The item can be used prematurely by tapping the star, having the same effect as a Maxim Tomato. If Kirby manages to beat the boss without using the tomato, it will change into a Maxim Tomato.
