Poison apple
| ||||||||||||||||
|
Poison fruit[conjectural title] is a term used to refer to certain poisonous projectiles, typically dropped by Whispy Woods and his relatives. Unlike Apples and most other objects, these fruit may be dangerous to inhale, causing Kirby to take a small amount of damage when doing so, with some causing Kirby to be unable to spit them back out again afterward. Despite this, poison fruit can be destroyed by other means without consequence.
Game appearances
Kirby & The Amazing Mirror
Poisonous apples first appeared in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, summoned as an attack by the Boss Wiz. They roll toward Kirby and stun him with the Sleep ability if he happens to swallow one.
Kirby Super Star Ultra
Poison fruit appear in this game as Poison Apples. These purple apples are occasionally dropped by Whispy's Revenge in Revenge of the King and The True Arena. Kirby takes damage from these as soon as he inhales them.
Kirby's Return to Dream Land / Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe
Purple poisoned apples can be dropped by Whispy Woods EX in both the Extra Mode and in The True Arena. Like in Kirby Super Star Ultra, Kirby immediately takes damage after he inhales one.
Kirby Star Allies
In Kirby Star Allies, there are two main sources of poisoned fruit, both of which hurt Kirby after swallowing instead of simply inhaling them. The first is the pile of rotten fruit that King Dedede uses to hurl projectiles at Kirby and his allies during their fight in Clash at Castle Dedede. If Kirby tries to swallow this projectile after inhaling it, he will take damage. However, if the fruit is hit with any Splash-based attack, it will be cleaned and turned into edible fruit which can recover health. This rotten fruit pile also appears in the fight with Parallel Dedede in Heroes in Another Dimension.
The second source of poisoned fruit are the sickly purple cherries dropped by Yggy Woods, which cannot be cleaned. Notably, if Kirby swallows Yggy's golden cherry along with the poisoned ones, he will not take damage upon swallowing, instead simply gaining the Festival Copy Ability as usual.
