Food is an item in the Smash Bros. series that restores your health when eaten, albeit by a very small amount (rarely more than 5%). Its exact origins are disputed: the games consider it an original Smash Bros. series item debuting in Mêlée; however, the Kirby series makes a case for it being the origins of the Food item, especially via the "Gourmet Race" game in Kirby Superstar. Ice Climber may also lay claim to being the origin of the item, via the food items seen in its levels, which appear on the Summit stage in Smash Bros. Brawl and Ultimate.

While Food may appear on its own in Smash, Party Balls are generally the primary source of Food, as they may sometimes spawn as many as 10 to 20 instances of them at once. Food is generally a 2D sprite programmed to always face the camera, but stage-specific food will generally be in 3D.

Fanon appearances[]

Super Smash Bros. series[]

Food is an item that often appears in large groups. It heals a small amount of health depending on how healthy the food would be in real life.

Smash Tactics[]

Food is a resource that is harvested from the Food buildings, or by slaying specific creatures. Some examples of "buildings" from which food is harvested are Toadstools for the Mushroom faction, Pellet Posies for the Pikmin faction, and Farms for the Hylian faction.

Super Smash Bros. (arcade)[]

Food appears as a recovery item in Super Smash Bros. for the arcade. Food can lower the user's damage meter between 2%-15%. Some Food items that were exclusive to certain titles are all available in this edition. There are 60 total variants.

St. Clair Publications[]

Food appears in Super Smash Stadium. The item has been nerfed from canon in that the foods only heal between 1 and 5%. To compensate, Party Balls may drop 30 pieces of Food, healing up to 150% to a lucky-enough player. The Ice Climber-specific Food does not appear in this game, as Summit is not a stage, nor were the items transferred to Infinite Glacier, the Ice Climber stage that DOES appear.
