History[edit]

Yoshi[edit]
Grapes inYoshi appear after the player clears levels 14 and 15 of the B-Type game, awarding the player 700points.
Mario's Time Machine[edit]
InPC andSNES releases ofMario's Time Machine,Mario receives a bunch of grapes fromAristotle after traveling back in time toAthens, who offers them as "food for the body" in contrast to the food for the mind that is philosophy. They can be given to a nearby councilman, who is interested in talking more aboutPlato but has a dry throat. Once he is given the grapes, he thanksDionysus for the gift and eats it before continuing to talk about Plato.
Later, in ancientAlexandria, Mario receives some grapes from one ofCleopatra's maids after he gives her theWooden Snake from the guard in love with her (in the SNES version, the Grapes instead appear in Mario's inventory during an unrelated dialogue with the previous guard; this is a glitch, as the maid's dialog still indicates that she gives Mario the Grapes despite not doing so). The maid is overjoyed to receive the snake, and tells Mario thatJulius Caesar can be won over by giving him grapes. Mario does just that, which motivates Caesar to answer questions about theStaff in Mario's possession.
