'''Hearts''' are recurring items in gaming, including the ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' games. They can usually be collected to gain more hit points or chances.

===''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic''===

A [[small heart|small version]] also appears in this game, which is retained in subsequent versions.

In ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', they are made of cardboard and replenish 5 HP of Mario's health, and are found in other places such as behind bushes. In ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', each regular heart restores 40 HP. One heart is also found at the [[Prisma Fountain]] for every [[Big Paint Star]] retrieved; when they are all returned, the fountain they fill heals Mario instead. Hearts (now called Healing Hearts) reappear in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', where their size and appearance dictate the amount of HP they refill. The small red ones heal 30 HP, while the medium ones heal 50 HP, and the large ones with white accents heal 100 HP.<ref>Nintendo (June 12, 2020) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CB7KBIgn2m0 A Closer Look at Paper Mario: The Origami King – Nintendo Switch].

===''Mario Bros.''===

Hearts appear in the GBA version of ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' included with the [[Super Mario Advance (series)|''Super Mario Advance'' series]] and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. They are one of three items that can appear from an [[Egg]] in a [[Bin|garbage can]], which is exclusive to 2-Player Vs. Mode; if found, they work as they do in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', turning [[Small Mario]] into [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]].

When an item hits the player's heart barrier, a sound similar to that of the [[Spinning Heart]] from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and its ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' can be heard. If a character activates a heart after being shrunken by Lightning, the hearts circling the kart remain small even after the kart reverts to normal size.

The Heart reappears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' as the [[Special skill (Mario Kart Tour)|special skill]] of [[Princess Peach|Peach]], [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]], [[Wendy O. Koopa|Wendy]], [[Yoshi (species)|Pink Yoshi]], [[Toad (species)|Pink Toad (Pit Crew)]], [[Shy Guy|Pink Shy Guy]], [[Baby Peach|Baby Peach (Cherub)]], [[Princess Daisy|Daisy (Fairy)]], [[Baby Mario|Baby Mario (Koala)]], and the [[Mii|Peach, and Pink Mii Racing Suits]]. They look similar to the hearts from ''Super Mario Odyssey'', except they are colored pink like the Heart in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''. They merely block opponents' items in this game, including [[Lightning]], rather than enabling drivers to snatch and use these items. In addition, up to five hearts can be used at once. Activating a Heart grants players points. Unlike in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', the Heart has a set time limit for use of 20 seconds, and when the timer exceeds, the Heart disappears. When Heart+ is active, a second Heart appears alongside, much like in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', except the extra Heart disappears more quickly.

Small hearts with eyes and feet appear in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'', in a role similar to [[Star (Yoshi's Island series)|Stars]] in the ''[[Yoshi's Island (series)|Yoshi's Island]]'' games. They help restore lost energy and can be collected by touching or eating them. They often come out of [[Winged Cloud]]s in groups of three or five. In addition, any enemy that is caught on-screen when [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] reaches a checkpoint turns into a heart. Once they land on the ground, hearts begin hopping in a certain direction, falling off ledges and turning the other way if they meet a wall. They start flickering and eventually disappear if Yoshi does not collect them in time. Unlike Stars, hearts do not appear as [[coin]]s when Yoshi's energy bar is full.

Hearts appear in ''[[Mario Party 10]]'' exclusively to the [[Mario Party 10#Bowser Party|Bowser Party]] and Bowser Challenge modes. In this game, the characters start off with six hearts, which are lost when taking damage in a Bowser [[Minigame]]. The characters can gain extra hearts from various events and locations around the board, however they can also lose hearts from Bowser spin wheels and other events. If a character loses all of their hearts, they leaves the vehicle and are no longer able to roll [[Dice Block]]s. While players are eliminated, they can get Special Dice Blocks for the remaining teammates in the vehicle. In Bowser challenge mode, the player plays through all of the Bowser Minigames as Bowser, and aim to obtain as many hearts as possible from the other characters. The final score is given as the number of hearts that the player managed to collect in total at the end of all ten minigames.
