AMiracle Fruit is an object that debuted inKirby: Triple Deluxe. It grants theHypernova ability wheninhaled or touched.

The plant that bears the Miracle Fruit is first seen as a small vine stemming from the ground, which is part of theDreamstalk. Upon being approached byKirby, it rapidly grows, then bears the fruit. The fruit itself is a pulsating elliptical crimson-colored berry with an inner turquoise and outer gold peel swirling around it, and a visible glowing indigo aura.

Miracle Fruits also play key roles in two boss fights inKirby: Triple Deluxe. Firstly, as Kirby is fightingFlowered Sectonia, he is captured and presumably finished whenTaranza andKing Dedede come to his rescue and toss him a Miracle Fruit. Secondly, inThe True Arena, Queen Sectonia transforms intoSoul of Sectonia by consuming four Miracle Fruits prior to the true final boss fight.

In theKirby novel series[edit]

In the second volume of theKirby novel series,Kirby and the Big Panic in Gloomy Woods!, Miracle Fruits appear growing in theGloomy Woods, alongside the rumoredStardust Fruit, which everyone is after instead. The fruit and plant it grows upon appears mostly identical to its original game appearance.

King Dedede firstly discovers one and bites into it, mistaking it for the Stardust Fruit, but it has no effect on him. Later on however,Kirbyinhales another in an attempt to regain his strength while in a desperate situation, and its powerful effects quickly shoot through him. This allows him to use aHypernova inhale, in the same fashion as inKirby: Triple Deluxe, which he uses to bring down an aircraft at the brink of escaping into his gaping mouth. The ability immediately disappears after the puffball spits what's left of the aircraft back out.

Trivia[edit]

• According to an officialMiiverse post, the Miracle Fruit was originally conceived as "Hypernova Candy", but was changed for the sake of tying it into the Dreamstalk instead.^[1]
• The Miracle Fruit resembles a real-life fruit namedSynsepalum dulcificum, which also goes by the name "miracle fruit". The real-life fruit is similarly known for its unusual dietary effects on those who consume it, in its case producing glycoproteins which temporarily bind to the taste buds of those who eat it, causing sour foods to instead taste sweet.
