English Name:	Maxim Tomato
Japanese Name:	マキシムトマト Makishimu Tomato Maxim Tomato
First Game:	Kirby's Dream Land
Type:	Healing

An item in the Kirby games.

There are few things Kirby loves more than a big, ripe, juicy tomato. And these ones are even better than normal- one Maxim Tomato will refill Kirby's hit points completely.

Maxim Tomatoes are simply bright red tomatoes with a big "M" on them. In earlier games it wasn't quite as clear what they were in the sprites- leading Nintendo Power to once mistakenly called it a "Magic Bag of Food."

This item is the only healing item that will completely refill Kirby's health- and the health of a Helpers in Kirby Super Star, or of any other players in the other multi-player games.

The also appear as items in the Super Smash Bros. series, where they completely heal whoever manages to grab one.

The tomato makes a change of purpose in Kirby's Dream Course. Here, rather than refilling Kirby's life, it is his life, marking how many shots more he can take before needing to rest. Taking out an enemy earns a single Tomato back while landing in the cup scores two.

In Kirby's Pinball Land, when a Maxim Tomato is collected, it appears between the flippers and acts as a stopper for a short amount of time. It will help prevent Kirby from falling between the flippers, but it is still possible for Kirby to fall if one of the flippers is lifted.
