Melons appear in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', where it is the fruit of choice of the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]]. There are 30 of these in every level, all of which must be eaten (without consuming any other kinds of fruit) to achieve a perfect score. Each melon awards the [[Baby Yoshi]]s a bonus 100 [[♥]]s apiece. Some melons are uncovered by breaking [[? Block]]s, popping [[? Bubble]]s, or [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]]ing certain spots that can be detected by [[sniff]]ing.

Melons also appear in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', where the adult [[Yoshi (species)|Yellow Yoshi]] in [[Yoshi's Village]] trades a Melon for one of [[Mario]]'s food items, provided the item is a recipe from [[Tayce T.]]; the trade cannot be done when the Yoshi kids go missing until the [[Lava Piranha]] is defeated, making it easily missed if players do not talk to the adult Yellow Yoshi before and after these events. Melons are generally a cheaper alternative to [[Jammin' Jelly]] for Tayce T.'s [[Special Shake]]s, and can also be used to create a [[Yoshi Cookie]] when cooked with [[Cake Mix]].
They also appear in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', where the adult [[Yoshi (species)|Yellow Yoshi]] on [[Lavalava Island]] trades a Melon for one of [[Mario]]'s food items.

A Melon in ''[[Mario Party 4]]'' appears in the [[minigame]] [[Fruits of Doom]], as one of the fruits that players may give [[Bowser]] to eat.


===''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat''===
===''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat''===
Melons in ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'' are objects thrown by [[Hog]]s to attack Donkey Kong, by throwing a set of three of them at him consecutively. The player can [[clap]] while Donkey Kong is near a melon to punch or kick it back at the Hog and stun it. Hogs may also shroud a melon in electricity; this melon is thrown much faster and requires two claps - once to discharge the electricity, and again to hit it back as usual. Clapping near a Hog will cause it to throw melons. A gigantic melon serves as a goal in the non-boss levels of the [[Melon Kingdom]].

Often, the Hog would shroud a melon in electricity and throw it much faster, requiring the player to clap one additional time to discharge the melon before sending it back.

===''Mario Kart Arcade GP'' series===
The Melon appears as one of [[Yoshi]]'s special items in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]''. It is a recovery item that removes all status conditions for the kart when used, such as square or burst tires or a [[Thunder Cloud]], and provides a shield for approximately half a second. With good timing, the shield can block incoming items or the explosion of a [[Time Bomb (item)|Time Bomb]].

===''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast''===
[[File:Melon DKBB sprite.png|frame]]
The Melon, known as '''Tasty Melon''' in this game, appears as a [[Balloon (Donkey Kong Barrel Blast)|red balloon]] item in ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]''. When used, it makes the player invincible, much like the [[Super Star|Star]] from the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. When used by a [[Kong]], the invincibility lasts longer. Unlike the Star, touching a player while invincible does not hurt them.
