Food

Food () is a set of multiple recovering items coming in different shapes and colors, whom some are original or may hail from multiple universes. They have first appeared in and often spawn in groups from Capsules, Party Balls or other means. Though they do not appear in the original Super Smash Flash, they do appear in the reboot, Super Smash Flash 2.
== Overview ==
Food frequently appears on stages, and due to their small rate of healing its variants tend to have, they appear very commonly, usually spawned in great numbers after opening a Party Ball. Each variant recovers either 1%, 3%, 5%, 8%, or 10% damage.
 has the ability to spawn food himself if he successfully connects a #7 with his side special move, Judge. A subtle difference between the food spawned by Mr. Game & Watch in SSF2 from the games (aside the food no longer being restricted to be only an apple) is that for each character hit, a different piece of food will appear instead of only one. This means that if Mr. Game & Watch is able to strike all the opponents at once with his hammer, up to three different food variants will be spawned. This may prove to be an advantage and disadvantage at the same time for Mr. Game & Watch, as he may be able to collect all the dropped food after launching the opponents, but unaffected characters may be able to collect the food instead during his self-hitlag.
Food may also be considered a stage element that appears outside the common item spawnage. Three stages are able to dispense food in the game: Yoshi's Island (64), Yoshi's Story, and Smashville (coincidentally, all are past stages). These stages distribute food in a similar manner: it is carried towards the stage by something and characters have to attack the carrier so the food may be dropped and consumed. In Yoshi's Island (64) and Yoshi's Story, the food is carried by flying Propeller Shy Guys whereas in Smashville it is carried by floating balloons. Propeller Shy Guys usually come in great numbers, making the food droppage greater on average in comparison to Smashville's, where only a single balloon will appear at the time. Disabling food with the items switch removes the food from the carriers, who will still come to the stage, despite not carrying anything.
Delibird is also able drop food items via his move Present. Delibird indiscriminately launches food out of his tail sack, and all players are able to collect the goods, including the characters who had not released it. Similarly, Delibird's Rocket Bombs, which can be launched alongside food items, will harm any player who comes in contact with them, including Delibird's summoner.

== Origin ==
Food as a healing object is a very common staple in video games. Games from the series and the series have a strong focus on food items, and being a gluttonous character is a trait of their respective protagonists. For instance, in , Yoshi has to eat a set of 30 fruits in order to complete a level, and eating fruit invariably heals Yoshi and replenishes his life meter. However, the concept of healing food in the Super Smash Bros. series, as well as SSF2, is more similar to how it is applied to the Kirby games. Beginning with , there is common food scattered across levels that acts a low-recovery item when Kirby eats it. Several food items are very similar between Kirby Super Star and SSF2 as direct result of this.
