Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Sometimes the food in video games doesn't give you health or special powers, nor do you need it to keep from going hungry. Sometimes those shiny-looking fruits or appetizing pastries are just there for Scoring Points, or otherwise as arbitrary objects to collect.
This is primarily associated with Arcade Games of the 1980s, where the food items typically took the form of fruit. "Fruits" was even used as a generic term for food that may not technically be fruit.
The game may not even make clear whether you're actually eating the food as you go. The question is not necessarily resolved when objects such as gemstones provide the same kind of bonus as food; some games preposterously imply that you can eat those things as well.
Often overlaps with Game Gourmet, when there are well over a few different food items you can get your hands on. Not to be confused with Edible Treasure, which is when buried treasure turns out to be food.

In Kirby Super Star, the Gourmet Race is as much about eating lots of food as getting to the finish line quickly. This is in contrast to the rest of the game (and the series in general) where food grants health and occasionally power-ups.

Every game in the Donkey Kong Country series uses bananas as collectibles; similarly to the Super Mario Bros. series, collecting 100 of them grants the player an extra life (save for Donkey Kong 64, where they're mostly useless collectibles that are only really necessary for accessing the boss of each stage).

Stinkoman 20X6 has a level in which the goal is to collect ten pieces of bread and avoid apples, soap, ears and the letter P. As there are no hazards, the only thing the bread can do is add one of ten points needed to clear the level.

Shenmue has chocolate, caramel and potato chips you can buy that cost a little more than the drinks from vending machines, but each one lets you draw a raffle ticket for the chance to win a prize. Unlike the drinks, though, Ryo doesn't consume the snacks, so they just end up sitting in his inventory like every other collectible. The third game averts this, as the food you can buy is specifically intended to be eaten, given that Ryo now has a spiffy new Hyperactive Metabolism to deal with.

Math Rescue does this with items called "Goodies". Goodies are sprites of ice cream, watermelon, crayons and toy boats. On space levels, this changes to ice cream, watermelon, wrenches and smiley faces. Goodies are worth 5 points each and a 500 point bonus is awarded for collecting all of them in a level.

Pac-Man is the Trope Maker with its bonus fruits, though after the eighth board the bonuses turn into non-food items, such as the Galaxian ship. Of course, Pac-Man's goal in each stage is to eat all the dots, and the energizers let him chomp on the ghosts for more bonus points.

Bubble Bobble has about three dozen types of food. All bonus items worth 4000 points or less are food, while higher-value items are generally jewelry and other inedible objects. There are also giant bonus items worth tens of thousands of points; once again, the lower-value ones are food and the higher-value ones are jewels.
