A Keel Mango is a tropical fruit found in the trees of Keelhaul Key. They can be used to make several deserts if cooked by Zess T. The mango itself cures 5 HP. The Keel Mango is not available when the player first arrives at Keelhaul Key (except for the Japanese version where it is available at any time). In fact, it does not become available until after the player has completed the chapter and returned to Rogueport. This is possibly to ensure that the player gives the Coconut to Flavio in exchange for the Chuckola Cola, as giving him any other food item results in him asking for something more tropical. Since Keel Mangoes are also tropical, this may be why they were made unavailable at this point in the game. Once the Warp Pipe leading to Keelhaul Key has been activated, it is a very simple matter to get Keel Mangoes — a tree containing them is very near the Warp Pipe.
Trivia[]
In the international versions of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, in order to get Keel Mango from the tree in Keelhaul Key, the player first needs to reach the Peach intermission after Chapter 5. In the Japanese version, the player can get the Keel Mango from the tree anytime.
