SMILEs do not have individual names like the standard Devil Fruits, and are instead referred to as "(Animal species) no SMILE". In the English subtitles, they are referred to as "(Animal species) SMILE".
SMILEs resemble the artificial Devil Fruit that Vegapunk created;[4] they are colorful fruits resembling apples that have spots of a different color on them, and those spots have another spot inside each of them.[1]
The key ingredient required to concoct the artificial fruits is SAD, which is a chemical substance created by mixing the extracted Lineage Factors of numerous animals together.[5] Only Caesar Clown possesses knowledge of how to create SAD, and as such, the production of these fake Devil Fruits requires Caesar's cooperation.[1] After Caesar had produced the SAD in his lab on Punk Hazard, it was then transferred to the SMILE Factory in Dressrosa and eventually processed into SMILEs.[2]
Incomplete and nonviable SMILE fruits.
The manufacturing process of the SMILE Factory involves having luminescent sunflowers on the ceiling that provide light to the ordinary apple trees growing in the factory's indoor orchard. Additionally, the SAD is poured into an indoor river. The river feeds into irrigation canals that channel the river under the trees in order to feed them the chemical, modifying the fruits that grow from them. The spots seem to be an indicator for the fruit becoming a SMILE, and while mid-growing, the bottom half of the fruit lacks the telltale spots.
Due to the Tontatta Tribe'sdwarves specializing in plants, they were forced into labor in the factory producing SMILEs. It appears that the Tontatta could only produce one viable fruit out of every ten SMILEs, and even they themselves noted the unorthodox nature of the fruit had complicated the success rate. As incentive to increase their rate of production, they were made to believe that it was medication for their sick PrincessMansherry; the dwarves' gullibility led them to believe this lie.[6]
With the destruction of both the SMILE Factory and SAD supply due to the actions of Trafalgar Law and the Straw Hat Pirates, the production of SMILEs has permanently stopped.[7]
Attributes
A range of different SMILE users.
A SMILE fruit is intended to grant the consumer the power of animal transformation, much like a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, by a process which involves transmission of the Lineage Factor of a real animal.[5] Like normal Devil Fruits, SMILEs render those who consume them unable to swim.[8] It has been noted that, unlike real Devil Fruits, SMILE fruits actually have a good flavor.[9]
SMILEs do appear to grant enhanced physical abilities, much like real Zoan fruits, as seen when the members of the Armored Division were able to hold down the strong, massive General Franky mech suit.[10] SMILE users can also gain certain abilities of their animal, such as Batman gaining the sharp hearing of a bat,[11]Alpacaman being able to spit his saliva with high speed and force like an alpaca,[12] and Gazelleman having the ability to run very fast like a gazelle.[13] Of course, there is the possibility that a SMILE user will possess animal abilities that go beyond their level of resilience; Gazelleman is not granted the endurance of a gazelle, meaning that running fast will make him very exhausted.[14] It is also possible for some manifested animal parts to possess abilities that are out of the norm of the actual animals, such as a lion capable of breathing fire.[15]
Even with the increased strength and animal abilities bestowed by the SMILEs, many, if not all of these artificial Devil Fruits appear to be greatly inferior in strength compared to actual Zoan fruits.
The SMILE success rate.
As noted by Law, SMILEs, being artificial, do have side effects.[2] Due to the faulty chemicals used to make them, only one out of every ten SMILE fruits will successfully grant Zoan-like abilities at the cost of being able to swim. The other 90% of people who consume one will not receive a power while suffering the usual consequences. On top of losing the ability to swim, they permanently become unable to express negative emotions, being forced to smile and laugh all of the time regardless of how they actually feel, even while getting hurt in battle or if someone they care about dies.[16] As opposed to real Devil Fruits, which lose their power after the first bite is taken and become ordinary disgusting fruits, the failed SMILE fruits will still maintain their side effects after being partially eaten, so anyone who eats from one after the initial consumer has already eaten part of it will also lose their ability to express any emotion other than joy.[16]
Notably, SMILE users are susceptible to the power of the Kibi Kibi no Mi, which allows the user to tame animals by feeding them the treats created via this power, meaning that if they are fed these special kibi dango, they will become obedient subordinates of the user.[17]
Differences from Natural Zoans
Sheepshead's SMILE fruit in action.
While normal Zoan users can fully transform into an animal, as well as being able to take on a hybrid form, SMILE users have demonstrated the ability to turn certain parts of their body into parts of the animal's body. In some cases, the animal body part corresponds to the human body part, such as Alpacaman having an alpaca head in place of his human head, or Madilloman having an armadillo shell on his back. It is also possible for the animal body parts to have non-corresponding placement, such as Sheepshead turning his hands into the horns of a ram,[18] and other Gifters turning their hands into animal heads or having an animal growing from the top of their head in place of hair.[19][20] These two circumstances are not mutually exclusive; it is possible for someone to possess animal traits in both corresponding and non-corresponding locations. An example of this is the scorpion SMILE user Daifugo, who has both multiple scorpion-like legs where he would have two human legs and a scorpion stinger at the end of his hair. However, some transformations are so extreme that it actually looks more like the human is growing out of the animal rather than the other way round, such as Fourtricks, whose transformation seems more like a human face and arms are growing out of a rooster's rear.
Hamlet and Fourtricks showing more extreme examples of how animal parts grow completely out of proportion from their own bodies.
One potential side effect is that instead of having animal features or limbs, some users will instead have an actual animal growing out of their body, as seen with Holed'em's lion, whose head and arms are protruding from Holed'em's midsection. Animals such as these will have a mind of their own, and this can be painful or even dangerous for the user, as said animal may inconvenience, resist, or even attack its own host. However, since the animal half shares the same body as its user, it will share any pain its host receives, which will keep the animal from attacking its host too often.[21]
SMILE users, who gain non-sentient animal part transformations and do not suffer a severe body alteration, such as Sheepshead's sheep horn hands and Sarahebi's snake-like neck and fangs, have the ability to activate and deactivate their transformations at will. Alternatively, users who gain sentient animal heads growing out of their body, such as Babanuki's elephant and Mizerka's gorilla, do not have such an ability, and their body is permanently altered.[22] It has been indicated that users can achieve advanced control over their powers, but it is uncertain what that looks like.[23] Since some animal transformations have their own sentience, a few SMILE users may very well give them a name, even though they share the same body, examples being Holed'em and Mizerka, who have named their animal transformations Kamijiro and Gorishiro, respectively.
Another difference is that while SMILE users are susceptible to the Kibi Kibi no Mi's animal-taming powers, a genuine Zoan user does not fall under the same weakness.[24]
Types
SMILE users have been seen with the attributes and abilities of a large variety of animals, from mammals to reptiles to insects to crustaceans. SMILEs can also result in multiple copies of the same animal appearing among its consumers, in contrast to real Devil Fruits, of which there is only one of each in the entire world.[25][26] Of course, the animal traits can manifest in different ways, even for the same animal. For example, one person might have a snake in place of their hand while another might have a snake growing out of their navel.
Due to being produced from the Lineage Factors of real animals, SMILEs are only capable of granting normal Zoan powers; no Ancient or Mythical SMILEs exist as these animals are generally not to be found in the present day (save for a few pockets of the world in some instances). This contrasts with the artificial fruit that Vegapunk produced, as since it utilized the Lineage Factor of an actual Devil Fruit user, and a Mythical Zoan one to boot, Vegapunk was able to develop an artificial Mythical Zoan fruit. Since the source of these fruits' power comes from actual animals, multiple SMILE fruits that cause transformation into the same animal are possible,[5] and SMILEs with the traits of the same animal will have the same name.[27][28]

History
Beasts Pirates
The SMILE fruits were invented sometime in the last three years by the mad scientist and 300,000,000 bounty criminal, Caesar Clown,[85] who developed a method to create artificial Zoan-type Devil Fruits with a special chemical that he created himself, known as SAD. Caesar, working under the flag of Donquixote Doflamingo of the Seven Warlords, created SAD in an abandoned lab on the island of Punk Hazard, which was then shipped to the kingdom of Dressrosa, where Doflamingo ruled as king.
Kaidou's army of Gifters.
After the SMILEs were created at the factory in Dressrosa, they were monopolized by Kaidou of the Four Emperors in an effort to achieve his dream of commanding the strongest pirate crew in the entire world, which consists entirely of Devil Fruit users. Kaidou fed them to his crew members in order to turn them into Gifters and has since amassed an army of over 500 artificial Devil Fruit users, some of whom are particularly strong and were promoted to the rank of Shinuchi.[1][2]

The smiles of the people of Ebisu Town are but masks. Masks that can never be removed.
The members of the Beasts Pirates who ate the defective SMILEs and were then forced to always be happy became known as the Pleasures. It was later discovered that the faulty SMILEs retain their drawbacks after being partially eaten. Taking notice of this, the tyrannical shogun of Wano Country, Kurozumi Orochi, took the leftover defective fruits and put them in with the leftovers that were given to the poor citizens. Orochi's goal was to force the victims of his cruel reign to express constant joy, with the intention of maintaining a visage of happiness around the country.

It did not take long for the people of the leftovers town to figure out what the fruits were doing, but in the end, their hunger got the best of them, forcing them to live in misery and suffering and without the ability to be upset about it, no matter how terrible a tragedy they were forced to endure.[87]
Use
The Gifters use their abilities frequently during battle in order to increase their strength.[18] However, after the SMILE Factory was destroyed, the Beasts Pirates stopped receiving SMILEs, and so the production of new Gifters, as well as Pleasures, has ceased.[3] As a result, all the Waiters are considered to have lost their potential usefulness to the crew.[88]
Trivia
Killer as a "functional" SMILE user.
Oda once drew how Killer would have looked like if the SMILE he ate on Orochi's orders had not been a dud. In his case, an elephant SMILE user.
The side effects of eating a defective SMILE fruit (causing the eater to become unable to express any emotion other than constant joy) may be a reference to Joker Venom, a weapon used by the DC Comics supervillain the Joker.
Joker Venom is a typically deadly chemical weapon that causes the victim to start laughing uncontrollably while their facial muscles contort into a rictus grin similar to the Joker's own; they are literally unable to stop laughing, even to breathe, and so they eventually asphyxiate, causing them to die laughing.
Fittingly, SMILE is a chemical weapon developed by Doflamingo (whose underworld epithet is "Joker") and Caesar Clown (a character named after a clown, which the Joker is based on, and sharing a name with former Joker actor Caesar Romero.)
The SMILEs were first mentioned by Doflamingo to Disco just before he abandoned the slave trade.[89]
It was because 90% of the eaters ended up smiling and laughing for the rest of their lives that Doflamingo, Caesar, and Kaidou named the fruit SMILE, cruelly mocking their misfortune.[90]
The Gifters' ability to turn selective parts of their body into animals (and animal parts) is similar to an advanced level of control of one's Zoan Devil Fruit powers, such as Marco's control of his Phoenix Devil Fruit.
The notable difference being that the SMILE users can transform their body parts into non-corresponding animal parts, such as Sheepshead turning his hands into horns.
Some SMILE Devil Fruit users possess a fruit that has the ability of another, already existing real Devil Fruit.
During the Dressrosa and Zou Arcs, certain Headliners and Gifters are seen gaining black, tattoo-like marks similar to the spiral pattern of Devil Fruits whenever they activate their SMILE Fruit power.[91][92][93][61][94] In Sheepshead's entry in the Vivre Card databook, it's mentioned he was able to activate and deactivate his powers due to his advanced control over his fruit, but it's currently unconfirmed whether or not the patterns are an indication of a user's advanced control.[23]
Vegapunk considers SMILEs to be inferior to his artificial Devil Fruits, something with which Nami wholeheartedly agrees (albeit she is biased due to her hatred for Caesar).[95]
The Devil Fruit used by All-Hunt Grount in the non-canon Marine Rookie Arc is very similar to a SMILE, being a Zoan that only affects one part of his body and cannot be dismissed. No connection has been proven or disproven between them, however.

Caesar, working under the flag of Donquixote Doflamingo of the Seven Warlords, created SAD in an abandoned lab on the island of Punk Hazard, which was then shipped to the kingdom of Dressrosa, where Doflamingo ruled as king.
