An apple in the anime
| “ | If you grab all of those apples, you'll get some kind of reward.” |
| — Daroach • Kirby Mass Attack |
An apple is a round red fruit that grows in Dream Land and is utilized by various enemies such as Poppy Bros. Jr. and bosses like Whispy Woods. It is even represented in the Super Smash Bros. series as a trophy and item.
Use
Poppy Bros. Jr. and Perot roll on them to try to attack Kirby. Inhaling the foe makes it drop the apple. Whispy Woods grows them and uses them to attack Kirby by making them fall and bounce around towards Kirby. If Kirby has no copied abilities, he can inhale the apples and use them as projectiles against Whispy Woods. In Kirby Super Star Ultra's Revenge of the King mini-game, Whispy Wood's Revenge shoots out poison apples that hurt Kirby if swallowed. The poison apples are shown as being purple colored. In Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, Wiz creates an apple that alternates its color between red and purple. It gives the Sleep ability. Apples are also one of the many items that Kirby can eat to regain his health.
In Kirby Mass Attack, apples are one of the fruits that can be eaten. There are also bonus green apples featured alongside them.
In Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl, apples appear as items dropped by Whispy Woods at the Green Greens stage. They have up to three effects; they can either be eaten to regain health, thrown to damage other competitors, or explode upon landing.
In the Anime
Whispy uses apples to trap his enemies, which was first seen in Beware: Whispy Woods!. Kirby enjoys eating them, but they can also damage him when used as weapons by enemies like Phan Phan or Whispy Woods.
