Fruit

A fruit is a sweet, fleshy part of a plant that is grown on the ovaries of a flower, contains seeds, and can be eaten by humans and other animals. Many fruits grow on trees. In videogames, fruits are common as useful items in various genres. There are many varieties of fruit that appear, each with their own colors and taste.
==Common fruits==
===Apple===
The apple is a crisp tree fruit with red or green skin. It is well-known to the point of representing fruit in general, even though it usually doesn't taste that good. The letter A commonly stands for this fruit. Its recognizability even extends into the tech world, where it makes popular products like the iPhone. A worm may be found inside of an apple.
===Banana===
The banana is a long, curved, and typically yellow fruit that grows in bunches. It has yellow skin that can be peeled down like a wrapper. The banana is actually a berry, but most people do not refer to it as such. There is a good reason for this. Do not ask for details.
===Cherry===
The cherry is a small, red stone fruit. They are often connected at the end of the stem. The Double Cherry is a play on this configuration.
===Coconut===
The coconut is a large palm-tree fruit with a woody, hairy brown husk. It contains white flesh and milk. While this suggests that it is distantly related to cows, horse hooves sound much more similar to coconuts.
===Durian===
The durian is a tropical fruit with a spiny rind and a strong, lingering smell.
===Melon===
===Orange===
The orange is an annoying citrus that is full of pulp. It is a hybrid between pomelo and mandarin. They named a color after this fruit, which went on to become the new black.
===Papaya===
===Peach===
The peach, not to be confused with the princess of the same name, is a round stone fruit with pinkish-yellow skin and sweet, juicy yellow flesh. Princess Peach's Final Smash, Peach Blossom, involves peaches.
===Pear===
The pear is an often crisp but juicy tree fruit with green skin and white flesh. iCarly uses this as her phone and tablet.
===Pepper===
The pepper is a type of berry that often comes in red, yellow, orange, and green. These warm colors are apt for chili peppers, which trick your tongue into thinking it is warm, rather than chilly as the name suggests. Bell peppers are relatively mild and sweet-tasting, just like real bells.
===Pineapple===
The pineapple is a tropical fruit with tough, scaly skin and a tuft of stiff leaves. Its flavor is bright, sweet, and tart. SpongeBob lives here.
===Starfruit===
The starfruit is a tree fruit with a star-shaped cross section.
===Strawberry===
The strawberry is a soft red fruit with a seed-studded surface. It tastes like strawberries. Humans are 60% strawberry.
===Tomato===
The tomato is a savory berry that looks like a clown nose. It is used to make ketchup and pizza sauce. It is botanically a fruit, but culinarily a vegetable. Some people like to talk to tomatoes. They should make a TV show about that.
===Watermelon===
The watermelon is the fruit of a gourd with a smooth, stripy green rind and bright red flesh. It is often served as wedge-shaped slices, wherein its many black seeds are visible.
==Fanon appearances==
===Ice Climber DS===
The Peach is an item in Ice Climber DS, despite being a fruit. It supposedly has no actual effect on players, and simply gives them points, similar to the vegetables from the first game.
===Smash Tactics===
Toads, the Mushroom Kingdom workers in Smash Tactics, can plant Peach Trees which can later be harvested for food.
