This article is about the item in Paper Mario. For the Thing in Paper Mario: Color Splash, see Lemon (Thing).

Lemon
Paper Mario description	A fruit found in a desert oasis. Restores 1 HP and 2 FP.

A lemon appears in Paper Mario as an item. It can be obtained by going to the Dry Dry Desert's oasis and hitting the western (left side) tree with Mario's hammer. Leaving the oasis area and returning will allow the player to collect another lemon from the tree, and this may be done repeatedly. They restore one HP and two FP and may be cooked by Tayce T. to make a Tasty Tonic. Lemons are also good for making the Lemon Candy, which is useful in bribing the Anti Guy in Shy Guy's Toy Box. Lemons do not fetch many coins when sold and are largely only good for cooking.

The lemon may be used as a way to earn the Pulse Stone which will grant Mario entry to Dry Dry Ruins. If Mario gives a lemon to Sheek, Sheek explains how to "meet" Moustafa, who owns the Pulse Stone, by purchasing items in a specific order inside the Little Mouser's Shop in Dry Dry Outpost. If the player already knows the order of items to purchase, however, the combination may be entered successfully without ever speaking to Sheek.

Lemons are mentioned in Lumpy's diary in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, where he states that the last revision of his foodstuff during his Dry Dry Desert expedition consists of Lemons and Limes.
