'''{{wp|Coconut}}s''' appear in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] as [[fruit]] most commonly used as projectiles by the player characters or enemies.

 

===''Donkey Kong 3'' / ''Donkey Kong 3: Dai Gyakushū''===

Coconuts in ''[[Donkey Kong 3]]'' are indestructible projectiles sometimes thrown by [[Donkey Kong]]. In the arcade version, he throws them in every stage, while in home console releases, he does so in the [[Greenhouse (yellow)|yellow greenhouse]] only. Coconuts also appear in ''[[Donkey Kong 3: Dai Gyakushū]]''. The back of the North American ''Donkey Kong 3'' [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] cover mistakenly misspells coconuts as "cocnuts".

Coconuts in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' are small projectiles shot by [[Necky]]s and [[Mini-Necky]]s and large projectiles shot by [[Master Necky]] and [[Master Necky Snr.]], all as a method of attacking.

A coconut in the ''[[Club Nintendo (German magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic "[[Donkey Kong in: Banana Day 24|Banana Day 24]]" is a fruit adored by alien species. The giant aliens mistook [[Earth]] for being a giant coconut when pulling it away, and they agree to return the planet back to its original position as [[Diddy Kong]] starts to give them [[banana]]s in return.

Coconuts in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' are found only in certain Coconut Trees. Such trees can be found near the shores of [[Lavalava Island]] as well as in [[Yoshi's Village]], though some of the trees drop other items. To get them from the trees, [[Mario]] can simply whack them with his current [[Hammer]]. In battle, it is used as a weapon; it can be thrown at a single enemy to deal 3 [[Heart Point|HP]] damage. Coconuts are used in many recipes. Mario can sell them at any shop for 1 [[coin]]. Coconuts are also mentioned in the [[Tattle]] for [[Stone Chomp]]s.

They can be sold to shops [[List of selling prices in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|for a varying price from 1 coin to 4 coins]]. Mario must give one to [[Flavio]] on Keelhaul Key to obtain a [[Chuckola Cola (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Chuckola Cola]], which must be given to [[Bobbery|Admiral Bobbery]] in order to revive him.

===''Mario Party 3'' / ''Mario Party Superstars''===

Coconuts in ''[[Mario Party 3]]'' and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'' appear in the 1-vs-3 minigame [[Coconut Conk]], where the team of three must [[Ground Pound]] coconut trees to cause coconuts to drop from them and land on the player in the barrel.

Coconuts in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' are one of the fruits located in [[Delfino Plaza]], and sometimes have to be used for a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] to hatch out of its egg. If Yoshi eats one, he turns pink and refills his [[juice]] tank, allowing him to turn enemies into pink ascending [[Yoshi Platform|platform]]s. They can also be thrown by [[Mario]]. There are also tasks in the game in which if the player puts enough of them in a basket (or other fruits), they are rewarded with a [[Blue Coin|blue coin]] or [[1-Up Mushroom]].

Coconuts in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' are objects that Mario can [[spin]] into to send them flying, proving useful for defeating enemies such as [[Big Pokey|Pokeynut]]s and [[thorny flower|prickly plant]]s, as well as projectiles used by [[King Kaliente]] and [[Rocto]]s. When 9999 [[Star Bit]]s are collected, all coconuts become [[watermelon]]s.
