[[File:Watermelons.png|left|thumb|Watermelons from ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'']]

In ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its remake]], there are three different types that offer special attacks. [[Watermelon (Yoshi's Island series)|Green watermelon]]s allow [[Yoshi]] to spit out the seeds as projectiles; if it already has a bite mark in it, there will only be a third as many seeds. [[Fire watermelon|Red watermelon]]s allow three shots of fire breath that burn enemies and melt [[Ice Block]]s. [[Ice watermelon|Blue watermelon]]s allow three shots of ice breath that freeze enemies, making them harmless and immobile and causing them to break apart when a Yoshi touches them. Super Green Watermelons, Super Red Watermelons, and Super Blue Watermelons are also available as [[Special Item (Yoshi's Island series)|Special Item]]s, which automatically give Yoshi the ability of the watermelon as if he had gulped it. Watermelons are featured prominently in the [[Watermelon Seed Spitting Contest]] [[Mini Battle]].

====''Yoshi's Story''====

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

====''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 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.

In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', watermelons, referred to as '''melons''' in this game, are used as the [[Kong]]s' life meter. Each melon is made up of four slices. If a Kong gets hit by an enemy or gets in contact with a stage hazard, such as lava or quicksand, they lose a melon slice of their health, sometimes even half a melon (the equivalent of two slices). The Kongs can refill their health with the melon slices that they find, either by breaking open a [[Melon Crate]] or by defeating enemies such as [[Kritter]]s or [[Gnawty|Gnawties]]. If the Kongs lose all their health, they are sent back to the starting point of the area. At first, the Kongs start out only having one melon in their health meter, but they can have up to three by obtaining a melon upgrade from [[Candy Kong]] in [[Angry Aztec]] and [[Crystal Caves]] each. Melons are also used as ammo in some [[Bonus Stage]]s.
