In ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', watermelons appear as the favorite fruit of [[Yoshi (species)|Green Yoshi]]s, along with [[melon]]s.


====''Yoshi's New Island''====
====''Yoshi's New Island''====
Watermelons in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'' are functionally the same as in the original. Watermelons with bite marks are first encountered in [[Ukiki Jammin']], first held by an Ukiki and having seeds that are spat out by them. A full variant of the watermelon is found in [[Ride the Blarggwich]]. Red and blue watermelons can also be found in later levels of the game, with red watermelons first debuting in [[Harry Hedgehog's Labyrinth]] and blue watermelons in [[Brave the Bumpty Blizzard]].

====''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''====
In ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', Yoshi uses the green watermelons to spit out seeds that can hit enemies, break sponge obstacles, and reach collectible items. When there is a bite on a watermelon, there will be third as many seeds in it. Fire and ice watermelons also make a return. A fire watermelon allows Yoshi to breathe out three streams of fire. Fire melts ice blocks as well as defeating enemies. In this game, an ice watermelon allows Yoshi to breathe out five streams of ice which can freeze enemies upon contact. Yoshi can kick the enemy and it will slide in the direction of the kick, eventually breaking apart. Some of the watermelons are required for [[Completion|100% completion]] of the game. They are also available as [[Power Badge (Yoshi's Woolly World)|Power Badge]]s.
The '''All-you-can-eat watermelon!''' [[Power Badge (Yoshi's Woolly World)|Power Badge]] in ''Yoshi's Woolly World'' automatically places a watermelon in a Yoshi's mouth, allowing him to have its ability at nearly any point.

Watermelons appear in volume 14 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', which is the adaption of ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''. Here, as in the game, they give characters who eat them respective abilities. The first time they appear, Mario and Luigi stuff a Super Red Watermelon inside a crying Baby Mario to quiet him. He then breathes fire at Toadies who first attempted to attack. The next time they appear, Helicopter Yoshi eats a Super Green Watermelon and spits seeds at Kamek, Toadies, and Baby Mario they are carrying. During their battle against a [[Lunge Fish]], Mario stuffs a Super Blue Watermelon inside Yoshi to make Yoshi freeze the Lunge Fish.
