The '''Health Meter''' is an onscreen indicator of how much health the player character currently has. It usually appears somewhere on the top of the screen as part of the {{wp|HUD (video gaming)|HUD}}, but it can also appear in other locations on the screen as well. The Health Meter varies from game to game on how many sections it has.

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', the Health Meter (known as the '''Life Meter'''<ref>''Super Mario Advance'' manual, pg. 18</ref> or '''Life Gauge'''<ref>''[[Super Mario All-Stars Limited Edition]]'' manual, pg. 31</ref>) appears in the top left corner of the screen at the start of each [[level]], and it consists of two hexagons arranged vertically. These hexagons were later changed to hearts in the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' remaster of the original game as well as in ''[[Super Mario Advance]]''. Each section of the Life Gauge represents one hit point. Normally, the hexagons or hearts are red. When the player is damaged, however, one health section is lost, and it turns white instead of red (in the ''All-Stars'' remaster and the GBA [[reissue]], it turns concave and empties). The character [[Small Mario|shrinks]] when they have one hit point left; this state persists between levels and is the starting form for each life in ''Super Mario Advance''. This is the only game to feature both the Small form and a Health Meter, as well as the only 2D ''Super Mario'' game with a Health Meter.

Sections of the Life Gauge can be replenished by collecting [[small heart]]s (which are bigger in the GBA reissue). These hearts can often be found floating upward from the ground after eight enemies have been defeated (in the original and ''All-Stars'' versions) or floating in place, appearing after a thrown object beats two enemies in a row, from [[Mega Guy|Big Shy Guy]]s or [[Big Ninji]]s thrown to the ground or beaten, from enemies beaten with [[Red Shell|shell]]s, from beaten [[Ostro]]s, or by pulling them up from [[grass]] (in the GBA version).

In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', [[Mario]]'s '''Power Meter''' is normally not displayed on the screen until he takes considerable damage from falling or touching enemies, etc. When it does appear, it is displayed in the top middle of the screen. When Mario takes damage, it appears by popping up a short distance below the top middle of the screen, and shortly, it moves to the top middle of the screen. Once it is full again, it disappears, except when Mario is in water. In this game, it is a wooden profile shaped like Mario's head, with a circle in the middle that displays eight wedges. When he takes damage, some of the wedges gradually disappear. As this happens, the color of the wedges changes to correspond to the number of them remaining: The wedges are {{color|'''blue'''|dodgerblue}} when there are at least seven, {{color|'''green'''|green}} when there are five or six, {{color|'''yellow'''|gold}} when there are three or four, and {{color|'''red'''|red}} when there are no more than two.

Mario can refill his Power Meter by collecting various coins: [[Coin|Yellow Coins]] replenish one wedge, [[Red Coin]]s replenish two wedges, and [[Blue Coin]]s replenish five wedges. He can also refill it by [[dash|running]] through [[Spinning Heart]]s, which can be found in most if not all of the levels. The faster he runs through them, the more health he regains. The Power Meter will also automatically refill immediately after Mario exits a level after collecting a [[Power Star]] if it is not already filled.

In this game, Mario's Power Meter also acts as his breath meter when he is floating on the water. When he enters the water, the Power Meter shows at the top middle of the screen, even when he is on the surface of the water. After he goes underwater, the wedges gradually disappear. On the flip side, if Mario remains in the water with his head above it, the Power Meter will completely refill to eight wedges. The [[freezing water]] in [[Snowman's Land]] and [[Chief Chilly Challenge]] (''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' only) depletes his wedges three times faster than normal water, even if he is on the surface of the freezing water, and the Power Meter cannot be replenished when Mario has his head above the freezing water.

When the Power Meter has one or two wedges remaining, Mario begins to pant when standing still on the ground. This is only a cosmetic effect as he can still perform moves. When Mario is underwater, an alarm goes off. If the Power Meter runs out at any time, Mario will lose a life and forcibly exit whatever level he is currently in (excluding the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]], where he is just placed outside the building). When Mario lands on the ground after he is forced to exit the level, the Power Meter refills all of the wedges, starting from one wedge. If Mario loses his last life, he will be given a [[Game Over]].

The Power Meter appears again in the remake ''Super Mario 64 DS'', now with a black outline around it. It acts the same, though with two additions: When the player changes characters or when they grab a Power Star that does not force the character out of a level, such as [[Bowser]] stages' Red Coin Stars or 100-Coin Stars, the Power Meter fully refills. Also, if the player is under the [[toxic cloud]] and one or two wedges are left, the alarm that sounds while underwater will sound. The Power Meter depletes or replenishes multiple wedges at a slower speed than in ''Super Mario 64''.

While the Power Meter shows only eight wedges, Mario's health actually ranges from 0 to 2,176, with each wedge representing 256 units of HP. In most cases, the lower limit is 255, at which point Mario loses a life.<ref>UncommentatedPannen (July 21, 2016). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeGNpeFOOCY HP]. ''YouTube''.

In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', Mario's life meter is shaped like a stylized sun, with a polygonal spiral shape at the center. Again, it does not visibly appear onscreen until Mario takes damage. When it appears, it is positioned in the top right corner of the screen. There are once again eight sections of health, with each section represented as a sunray around the central spiral.

[[File:SMSHealthMeter.png|thumb|100px|Mario's life meter in ''Super Mario Sunshine'' as it is displayed when he is underwater]]
The life meter is normally a golden orange color when completely filled, and each individual section "flashes." When Mario takes damage, the rays of the sun gradually become blacked out to signify the loss of energy. When they have been blacked out, they no longer flash. He can regain energy by collecting normal coins, which refill one section, or Red Coins and Blue Coins, which refill two sections. Energy can also be regained by collecting a [[1-Up Mushroom]], which completely replenishes every section of the life meter immediately upon collection.

When the life meter has lost five sections of energy, an alarm starts to sound for the remaining three sections of health. As each section after this is gradually lost, the alarm sounds faster, and the energy sections flash to match its warning. As it gets gradually lower, Mario starts to droop lower and lower, visibly getting weaker from the lack of energy. When it has been completely depleted, Mario loses a life. If he has no remaining lives, he will receive a Game Over. The life meter will automatically be fully depleted if Mario falls in [[lava]] or [[Poison (obstacle)|toxic water]], gets crushed, fails a timed Red Coin challenge, or loses a race to [[Il Piantissimo]]. Also, if Mario touches open flames or [[Spike Trap|spike]]s in [[Corona Mountain]], his health will be rapidly depleted, usually resulting in quick life-loss.

Unlike in ''Super Mario 64'', there is a separate meter for Mario's air meter when he is underwater. This meter is blue, and the health sections continually deplete underwater. Air can be replenished by surfacing, touching air bubbles, or collecting coins or 1-Ups (which restore air at an equivalent rate to health). Mario also flashes red and an alarm sounds as the meter depletes. If the air meter is fully depleted, Mario immediately loses a life, regardless of his remaining health. When the meter is depleted to three sections, an alarm sounds as it gets steadily lower, and it continues to do so until Mario collects a coin or 1-Up, returns to the surface, or loses a life.

In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', the life meter appears in the top right-hand corner of the screen if [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]'s health is not at three, or after Mario/Luigi has remained inactive for a certain period of time. It is shaped like a circle and has a total of only three health wedges as opposed to eight in the previous two games. However, in exchange, any damaging event that does not make the player lose a life removes only one health wedge (as opposed to the variable amounts of damage that attacks can inflict in ''Super Mario 64'' and ''Super Mario Sunshine'').

[[File:SMGHealthMeter.png|thumb|120px|left|Mario's life meter in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' after he has collected a Life Mushroom]]
One of the new features of this game involves the inclusion of a new item called the [[Life Mushroom]], which increases Mario's life meter from three to six when it is collected. However, if at any time the health sections drop back below four, the life meter will revert to a maximum of three sections until another Life Mushroom is collected.

The coloration of the regular life meter in this game is as follows: three sections are {{color|'''cyan'''|cyan}}, two are {{color|'''yellow'''|gold}}, and one is {{color|'''red'''|red}}. The additional three sections that are added as a result of the Life Mushroom are all colored in {{color|'''green'''|lime}}, and they do not change the color unless the life meter drops below four.

As in previous games, [[coin]]s can be collected to refill one section of Mario's life meter, and they can be found by [[stomp]]ing enemies and hitting certain [[Brick Block|Brick]]s or [[? Block]]s, among many other methods. [[Purple Coin]]s do not affect the life meter in any way.

When the life meter drops below two (and there is only one section left), a warning alarm begins to sound. This continues until Mario is able to pick up at least one coin, which fills the life meter up again. Also, as in ''Super Mario Sunshine'', the life meter is separate from Mario’s air meter when he swims underwater. The meter that does appear when he is underwater is similar to the meter that appears when Mario is [[fly]]ing as [[Bee Mario]]. Mario starts taking damage underwater only when his air gauge has been fully depleted, at which point his life meter is quickly depleted as well.

At the beginning of every [[Prankster Comet#Daredevil Comet|Daredevil Comet]] mission, Mario's life meter is automatically decreased to just one health wedge (the only difference being that no alarm sounds under these conditions), forcing Mario to complete the mission without taking damage once.

After an absence in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' (due to those games using the power-up system of the 2D ''Super Mario'' platformers), the Health Meter reappears in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' with three sections of health, as in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. This time, [[Heart (item)|Heart]]s are required to restore lost health instead of [[coin]]s. Collecting [[Power Moon]]s, touching a [[Checkpoint Flag]], or going inside the [[Odyssey]] can also restore health. It can be extended to six with a [[Life-Up Heart]]. Unlike prior iterations, the meter has a flat, solid color appearance, and the {{color|'''cyan'''|cyan}} and {{color|'''green'''|lime}} colors are swapped from their ''Super Mario Galaxy'' positions. As in ''Super Mario Sunshine'' and the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' games, Mario has a separate air meter while underwater. Upon dying, Mario loses ten coins instead of a life, as lives and [[Game Over]]s are absent in this game.

In ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', the '''Smile Meter''' (or '''Smilometer''')<ref>''Official UK Nintendo Magazine'' Issue 65, page 28.</ref> is a version of the Health Meter depicted as a smiling flower with white petals and a round nose that appears in the upper left-hand corner of the screen during gameplay. Normally, the Smile Meter has a total of eight sections, signified by the eight white petals positioned around the circular center of the smiling flower. In addition to displaying the health of the [[Baby Yoshi]]s, the Smile Meter also represents their current [[point|mood]].

In addition to displaying the health of the [[Baby Yoshi]]s, the Smile Meter also represents their current [[point|mood]].


When a Baby Yoshi takes damage from touching enemies or other hazards or consuming certain items or enemies such as [[pepper]]s or [[Black Shy Guy (Yoshi's Story)|Black Shy Guy]]s (unless it is the Black Yoshi or White Yoshi), the petals gradually fall away from the center of the flower, starting with the topmost left petal and going counterclockwise. The color and expression of the flower also change. The face when the meter is at full health is red with a big smile, at partial health is yellow with a slight smile, and at no hit points remaining or the Baby Yoshi's loss is blue with a frowning, lip-biting face with hair-like filaments on it. Two additional expressions for the flower are available: One expression involves its eyes being closed while wearing a huge grin with its petals rapidly shrinking and growing when the Baby Yoshi is [[Super Happy]], and the other expression is a green, shocked expression used as a transition when the last few (or all if a Baby Yoshi falls down a pit or otherwise instantly loses) hit points on the meter are lost before the flower's face turns blue and frowns. The music in the levels is also affected by certain states of the Smile Meter. The music remains unchanged when the meter is at full or partial health, but when there are no petals remaining, the music slows down to a slower, more lethargic and somber version of the level's music. Conversely, attaining the Super Happy status changes the music to a rock arrangement of the level's theme.

The Baby Yoshis can take damage only up to eight times, and being hit one additional time while the flower's face is frowning results in the Baby Yoshi fainting and being captured by [[Baby Bowser]]'s [[Toady|Toadies]]. The Baby Yoshis can regain their health by eating [[fruit]] or enemies or collecting a [[Special Heart]], regenerating lost petals and making the flower begin smiling again.
The Baby Yoshis can take damage only up to nine times. The Smile Meter loses one petal when a Baby Yoshi eats something he dislikes. The Smile Meter loses three petals when a Baby Yoshi touches an enemy or a certain hazard. Being hit one additional time while the flower's face is frowning results in the Baby Yoshi fainting and being captured by [[Baby Bowser]]'s [[Toady|Toadies]]. The Baby Yoshis can regain their health by eating [[fruit]] or enemies or collecting a [[Special Heart]], regenerating lost petals and making the flower begin smiling again.

The Health Meter in ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]'' is used only in [[Mario Sports Mix#Dodgeball|dodgeball]] matches, as well as the dodgeball minigame [[Bob-omb Dodge]]. It is shaped like a circle with a black line going down the top half of its middle and ending at the circle's center. Depending on the character that the player is currently using, the icon shown in the top corner of the Health Meter changes accordingly. The player should note that in this game, the Health Meter appears along the top of the screen for every character that is currently playing. This Health Meter also appears in the game's final battle against [[Behemoth]] and the [[Behemoth King]].
When the player's character is hit by a dodgeball or another item, such as a [[Bob-omb]], some health is lost. The amount of health lost depends on the item the character is hit with, as certain items cause more or less damage than others. In any case, when a character is hit with an item, the chunk of health that is lost flashes red briefly before disappearing completely, leaving a black space in its place. If a character catches the ball before it hits the ground, the character that was hit by the ball will not lose health. If a character is hit by a special attack, a large amount of health will be lost. When their health is fully depleted, they are out, and sent into the box (the rest of the minigame if Bob-omb Dodge is played). The character's health will be instantly depleted if they fall into the water in [[DK Dock]]. To get back in, the player in the box must hit their target. When they do so, they are back in and get a small amount of their health regained. Getting hit even once causes them to be out again.

In ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]'', the HP bar is used. As Mario takes damage, the HP bar drops. When there is only one-fifth remaining, the HP bar turns orange and the heart pulses. When the HP bar is depleted, the Too Bad sequence plays, in which all the orbs fall down from the board. A [[Game Over]] occurs if the player chooses not to continue, or if the player runs out of HP when there are zero remaining lives. However, there is an exception. Unlike in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' and the ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' series, the HP bar is not automatically fully depleted when the player runs out of time in Score Attack modes, but the Too Bad sequence still plays.

"Health" redirects here. For information about the item also referred to as "Health" from Wario Land 4, see Full Health Item.

The Health Meter is an onscreen indicator of how much health the player character currently has. It usually appears somewhere on the top of the screen as part of the HUD, but it can also appear in other locations on the screen. The Health Meter varies from game to game on how many sections it has.

History

Super Mario series

Super Mario Bros. 2

SMB2 Healthmeter.png

The Life Gauge from Super Mario Bros. 2 and its Super Mario All-Stars version, with Luigi sprites reflecting its status

In Super Mario Bros. 2, the Health Meter (known as the Life Meter[1] or Life Gauge[2]) appears in the top left corner of the screen at the start of each level, and it consists of two hexagons arranged vertically. These hexagons were later changed to hearts in the Super Mario All-Stars remaster of the original game as well as in Super Mario Advance. Each section of the Life Gauge represents one hit point. Normally, the hexagons or hearts are red. When the player is damaged, however, one health section is lost, and it turns white instead of red (in the All-Stars remaster and the GBA reissue, it turns concave and empties). The character shrinks when they have one hit point left; this state persists between levels and is the starting form for each life in Super Mario Advance. This is the only game to feature both the Small form and a Health Meter, as well as the only 2D Super Mario game with a Health Meter.

Sections of the Life Gauge can be replenished by collecting small hearts (which are bigger in the GBA reissue). These hearts can often be found floating upward from the ground after eight enemies have been defeated (in the original and All-Stars versions) or floating in place, appearing after a thrown object beats two enemies in a row, from Big Shy Guys or Big Ninjis thrown to the ground or beaten, from enemies beaten with shells, from beaten Ostros, or by pulling them up from grass (in the GBA version).

In most levels, there are up to two (three in Super Mario Advance) Mushrooms hidden in Subspace, which refill the Life Gauge and each increase its sections by one, up to four (five in Super Mario Advance). It then reverts to just two health sections at the beginning of the next level.

Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS

—Sign in the Castle Grounds, Super Mario 64

In Super Mario 64, Mario's Power Meter is normally not displayed on the screen until he takes considerable damage from falling or touching enemies, etc. When it does appear, it is displayed in the top middle of the screen. When Mario takes damage, it appears by popping up a short distance below the top middle of the screen, and shortly, it moves to the top middle of the screen. Once it is full again, it disappears, except when Mario is in water. In this game, it is a wooden profile shaped like Mario's head, with a circle in the middle that displays eight wedges. When he takes damage, some of the wedges gradually disappear. As this happens, the color of the wedges changes to correspond to the number of them remaining: The wedges are blue when there are at least seven, green when there are five or six, yellow when there are three or four, and red when there are no more than two.

Mario can refill his Power Meter by collecting various coins: Yellow Coins replenish one wedge, Red Coins replenish two wedges, and Blue Coins replenish five wedges. He can also refill it by running through Spinning Hearts, which can be found in most if not all of the levels. The faster he runs through them, the more health he regains. The Power Meter also automatically refills immediately after Mario exits a level after collecting a Power Star if it is not already filled.

In this game, Mario's Power Meter also acts as his breath meter when he is floating on the water. When he enters the water, the Power Meter shows at the top middle of the screen, even when he is on the surface of the water. After he goes underwater, the wedges gradually disappear. On the flip side, if Mario remains in the water with his head above it, the Power Meter completely refills to eight wedges. The freezing water in Snowman's Land and Chief Chilly Challenge (Super Mario 64 DS only) depletes his wedges three times faster than normal water, even if he is on the surface of the freezing water, and the Power Meter cannot be replenished when Mario has his head above the freezing water.

When the Power Meter has one or two wedges remaining, Mario begins to pant when standing still on the ground. This is only a cosmetic effect as he can still perform moves. When Mario is underwater, an alarm goes off. If the Power Meter runs out at any time, Mario loses a life and forcibly exits whatever level he is currently in (excluding the Mushroom Castle, where he is just placed outside the building). When Mario lands on the ground after he is forced to exit the level, the Power Meter refills all of the wedges, starting from one wedge. If Mario loses his last life, he is given a Game Over.

In Super Mario 64, when Mario gets swallowed by Bubba, all of the wedges remaining disappear simultaneously.

The Power Meter appears again in the remake Super Mario 64 DS, now with a black outline around it. It acts the same, though with two additions: When the player changes characters or when they grab a Power Star that does not force the character out of a level, such as a Bowser stage Red Coin Star or a 100-Coin Star, the Power Meter fully refills. Also, if the player is under the strange toxic cloud and one or two wedges are left, the alarm that sounds while the player is underwater sounds. The Power Meter depletes or replenishes multiple wedges at a slower speed than in Super Mario 64.

While the Power Meter shows only eight wedges, Mario's health actually ranges from 0 to 2,176, with each wedge representing 256 units of HP. In most cases, the lower limit is 255, at which point Mario loses a life.[3]

Super Mario Sunshine

Mario's life meter in Super Mario Sunshine

In Super Mario Sunshine, Mario's life meter is shaped like a stylized sun, with a polygonal spiral shape at the center. Again, it does not visibly appear onscreen until Mario takes damage. When it appears, it is positioned in the top right corner of the screen. There are once again eight sections of health, with each section represented as a sunray around the central spiral.

The life meter is normally a golden orange color when completely filled, and each individual section "flashes." When Mario takes damage, the rays of the sun gradually become blacked out to signify the loss of energy. When they have been blacked out, they no longer flash. He can regain energy by collecting normal coins, which refill one section, or Red Coins and Blue Coins, which refill two sections. Energy can also be regained by collecting a 1-Up Mushroom, which completely replenishes every section of the life meter immediately upon collection.

When the life meter has lost five sections of energy, an alarm starts to sound for the remaining three sections of health. As each section after this is gradually lost, the alarm sounds faster, and the energy sections flash to match its warning. As it gets gradually lower, Mario starts to droop lower and lower, visibly getting weaker from the lack of energy. When it has been completely depleted, Mario loses a life. If he has no remaining lives, he receives a Game Over. The life meter is automatically fully depleted if Mario falls in lava or toxic water, gets crushed, fails a timed Red Coin challenge, or loses a race to Il Piantissimo. Also, if Mario touches open flames or spikes in Corona Mountain, his health is rapidly depleted, usually resulting in quick life-loss.

Mario's life meter in Super Mario Sunshine as it is displayed when he is underwater

Unlike in Super Mario 64, there is a separate meter for Mario's air meter when he is underwater. This meter is blue, and the health sections continually deplete underwater. Air can be replenished by surfacing, touching air bubbles, or collecting coins or 1-Ups (which restore air at an equivalent rate to health). Mario also flashes red and an alarm sounds as the meter depletes. If the air meter is fully depleted, Mario immediately loses a life, regardless of his remaining health. When the meter is depleted to three sections, an alarm sounds as it gets steadily lower, and it continues to do so until Mario collects a coin or 1-Up, returns to the surface, or loses a life.

Super Mario Galaxy / Super Mario Galaxy 2

Life meter from Super Mario Galaxy
Mario's life meter in Super Mario Galaxy

In Super Mario Galaxy, the life meter appears in the top right-hand corner of the screen if Mario or Luigi's health is not at three, or after Mario/Luigi has remained inactive for a certain period of time. It is shaped like a circle and has a total of only three health wedges as opposed to eight in the previous two games. However, in exchange, any damaging event that does not make the player lose a life removes only one health wedge (as opposed to the variable amounts of damage that attacks can inflict in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine).

Mario's life meter after he has collected a Life Mushroom
Mario's life meter in Super Mario Galaxy 2 after he has collected a Life Mushroom

One of the new features of this game involves the inclusion of a new item called the Life Mushroom, which increases Mario's life meter from three to six when it is collected. However, if at any time the health sections drop back below four, the life meter will revert to a maximum of three sections until another Life Mushroom is collected.

Mario's life meter in Super Mario Galaxy 2 under Daredevil Comet conditions

The coloration of the regular life meter in this game is as follows: Three sections are cyan, two are yellow, and one is red. The additional three sections that are added as a result of the Life Mushroom are all colored in green, and they do not change the color unless the life meter drops below four.

As in previous games, coins can be collected to refill one section of Mario's life meter, and they can be found by stomping enemies and hitting certain Bricks or ? Blocks, among many other methods. Purple Coins do not affect the life meter in any way.

When the life meter has one wedge left, a warning alarm begins to sound, and Mario will breathe heavily in exhaustion if he stands still. This continues until Mario is able to pick up at least one coin, which fills the life meter up again. Also, as in Super Mario Sunshine, the life meter is separate from Mario’s air meter when he swims underwater. The meter that does appear when he is underwater is similar to the meter that appears when Mario is flying as Bee Mario. Mario starts taking damage underwater only when his air gauge has been fully depleted, at which point his life meter is quickly depleted as well.

At the beginning of every Daredevil Comet mission, Mario's life meter is automatically decreased to just one health wedge (the only difference being that no alarm sounds under these conditions), forcing Mario to complete the mission without taking damage once.

The life meter in Super Mario Galaxy 2 looks and behaves in the same way as it did in its predecessor, although this time the black outlines surrounding the numbers are thicker. One minor difference is that if the player collects another Life Mushroom while one is still in effect, and all six sections of the life meter are filled, the player will receive a 1-Up. If the life meter is at fewer than six sections, it will instead be refilled to that number.

In both games, Mario's life meter will be depleted immediately if he falls into a black hole; is crushed by a Thwomp, a Whomp, a Rhomp, a Tox Box, or solid objects colliding with him stuck between them; falls into quicksand or poison; touches dark matter; or fails a timed Purple Comet, Speedy Comet, or Romp Comet challenge.

Super Mario Odyssey

After an absence in Super Mario 3D Land and Super Mario 3D World (due to those games using the power-up system of the 2D platformers in the Super Mario franchise), the Health Meter reappears in Super Mario Odyssey with three sections of health, as in Super Mario Galaxy. This time, Hearts are required to restore lost health instead of coins. Collecting Power Moons, touching a Checkpoint Flag, or going inside the Odyssey can also restore health. It can be extended to six with a Life-Up Heart. Unlike prior iterations, the meter has a flat, solid color appearance, and the cyan and green colors are swapped from their Super Mario Galaxy positions. As in Super Mario Sunshine and the Super Mario Galaxy games, Mario has a separate air meter while underwater. Upon dying, Mario loses ten coins instead of a life, as lives and Game Overs are absent in this game.

In Assist Mode, Mario starts with a default of six health wedges, which is extended to nine when he collects a Life-Up Heart. Also, the Health Meter refills itself if he is idle, and if he falls into a pit, he loses only one section (instead of all of them and ten coins) and is sent in a bubble back to his previous location (instead of the most recently activated checkpoint).[4] The meter is green when at six sections, lime green at five sections, yellow at four sections, amber at three sections, orange at two sections, and red at one section.

Yoshi's Story

The Smile Meter as seen in Yoshi's Story
“Eating Shy Guys wearing Yoshi's favorite color will add a bonus to your Smile Meter!”
—Message Block, Yoshi's Story

In Yoshi's Story, the Smile Meter (or Smilometer)[5] is a version of the Health Meter depicted as a smiling flower with white petals and a round nose that appears in the upper left-hand corner of the screen during gameplay. Normally, the Smile Meter has a total of eight sections, signified by the eight white petals positioned around the circular center of the smiling flower. In addition to displaying the health of the Baby Yoshis, the Smile Meter also represents their current mood.

When a Baby Yoshi takes damage from touching enemies or other hazards or consuming certain items or enemies such as peppers or Black Shy Guys (unless the Black Yoshi or White Yoshi consumes them), the petals gradually fall away from the center of the flower, starting with the topmost left petal and going counterclockwise. The color and expression of the flower also change. The face when the meter is at full health is red with a big smile, at partial health is yellow with a slight smile, and at no hit points remaining or the Baby Yoshi's loss is blue with a frowning, lip-biting face with hair-like filaments on it. Two additional expressions for the flower are available: One expression involves its eyes being closed while wearing a huge grin with its petals rapidly shrinking and growing when the Baby Yoshi is Super Happy, and the other expression is a green, shocked expression used as a transition when the last few (or all if a Baby Yoshi falls down a pit or otherwise instantly loses) hit points on the meter are lost before the flower's face turns blue and frowns. The music in the levels is also affected by certain states of the Smile Meter. The music remains unchanged when the meter is at full or partial health, but when there are no petals remaining, the music slows down to a slower, more lethargic and somber version of the level's music. Conversely, attaining the Super Happy status changes the music to a rock arrangement of the level's theme.

The Baby Yoshis can take damage only up to nine times. The Smile Meter loses one petal when a Baby Yoshi eats something he dislikes. The Smile Meter loses three petals when a Baby Yoshi touches an enemy or a certain hazard. Being hit one additional time while the flower's face is frowning results in the Baby Yoshi fainting and being captured by Baby Bowser's Toadies. The Baby Yoshis can regain their health by eating fruit or enemies or collecting a Special Heart, regenerating lost petals and making the flower begin smiling again.

A flower that resembles the Smile Meter appears in the minigame Loves Me...? from Super Mario 64 DS and New Super Mario Bros.

Yoshi Demo

Yoshi Demo also features the Smile Meter, which functions identically to its appearance in Yoshi's Story, though the faces used, all of which are also from Yoshi's Story, for the different states of the meter are different. At full health, the Smile Meter's face is its Super Happy face, seven to five petals is its face at full health, four to one petal is its face at partial health, no petals remaining is the same as in Yoshi's Story, and Yoshi's defeat is its transitional shocked face.

Yoshi Topsy-Turvy

YNG Health Meter 1.png

In Yoshi Topsy-Turvy, the Smile Meter appears in the top left corner of the screen as a smiling orange sun with eight white triangle-shaped rays around it. Each of these triangle rays represents one section of health, for a total of eight sections. This variation of the Smile Meter is very similar to the one from Yoshi's Story in both shape and color.

When Yoshi touches an enemy or other obstacle, health is lost, signified by some of the white triangle rays falling away from the sun in a counterclockwise direction. As more and more health sections fall away, the loss of energy begins to be reflected by the sun's expression. It starts out being orange with sunglasses and a large smile. When some rays have been lost, its color fades to yellow, it loses its sunglasses, and its smile diminishes slightly.

If Yoshi sustains more damage, the expression of the sun will remain the same, though more of the sun's rays will be lost. When no more of the sun's rays remain, the face of the sun turns blue and begins frowning. If Yoshi sustains any more damage after this, the face of the sun will turn green, then gray, resulting in Yoshi losing a life, or a Game Over if Yoshi loses all of his lives.

Yoshi's Woolly World / Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World

In Yoshi's Woolly World and its 3DS port, when Yoshi takes damage, the Health Meter appears around him as a circle of hearts. One heart represents one health section, up to 20 hearts. When one heart is left, the heart looks cracked and the Health Meter always shows, alerting the player to get more hearts. If all hearts are lost, the player must restart the level from the beginning or the last checkpoint they touched.

In Classic Mode on both the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, the player begins each level with 10 hearts and loses five hearts every time they take damage, unless they have two to five hearts left, in which case they go down to one heart. In Mellow Mode, the player begins each level with 20 hearts and loses five hearts in the Wii U version but only one heart in the 3DS version when they take damage.

Yoshi's Crafted World

The Health Meter in Yoshi's Crafted World looks the same as in Yoshi's Woolly World, except the hearts are made out of paper to match the game's style. If Yoshi completes a level with all 20 hearts, he receives a Smiley Flower.

Super Smash Bros. series

SmashWiki article: Damage

In the Super Smash Bros. series, the Health Meter always appears at the bottom of the screen, except in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, in which it is displayed on the Touch Screen. It acts as a damage counter that displays the amount of damage that a particular character has taken as a percentage. The higher the percentage goes, the more damage the character has taken. As the character takes more damage, the color of the percentage gradually changes from white to a dark red, with yellow being a middle gradient introduced in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, and the character simultaneously becomes easier for the opponents to KO them. The highest amount of damage a character can possibly take is 999%. Food, Heart Containers, Fairy Bottles, and Maxim Tomatoes can help reduce the amount of damage that a character has taken. In all games, the Health Meter appears for each character that participates in a match. Starting in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, characters with 100% of damage or higher begin to emit smoke. Starting in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the percentage is displayed to one decimal place.

Aside from displaying the damage of a character, the Health Meter also displays other information. For example, in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the name of the character is always displayed directly under the damage percentage, and an icon of the character's face is displayed to the left of the damage percentage (at the top in the earlier games). The symbol signifying the series that the character comes from appears behind the damage percentage. In Stock matches, up to five circles (represented as character heads in every game except Super Smash Bros. Brawl) appear above the damage percentage, representing the amount of stock that the character currently has left. One of the circles disappears for every time that the character is flung off the screen. When the character has no circles left, the character is defeated and is out for the remainder of the match. In Time matches, the number of KOs is shown above the damage percentage. A point is earned or lost if the character KOs an opponent or gets KO'd, respectively. In Coin Matches, the number of coins in hand is displayed.

There is a second type of damage counter in the series: hit points (HP). This is used for some bosses (such as Master Hand and Crazy Hand) and, starting in Super Smash Bros. Melee, players in Stamina Mode. When a character is hit by an attack, their HP decreases. If a character's HP reaches zero, they will enter a fainting animation. Bosses will be defeated, and players will lose their stock.

Mario Party series

The Health Meter appears in various boss minigames throughout the Mario Party series. It can be represented as hearts or a bar. In most boss minigames, the boss's health is at least halfway gone when the health bar drops past the white line in the middle and turns red. Once the boss's health is depleted, the minigame is won. As of Mario Party 9, the player who deals the final blow gets an extra point bonus to their score. In some minigames, players also have a Health Meter, and when they lose all health, they lose the minigame.

Super Princess Peach

Vibe Gauge.png

In Super Princess Peach, the player's Health Meter starts with three hearts (equal to six points of health) on it, but the player can get more from Toad's Shop by buying Tough Coffee, although each level is started with only three full hearts filled in. When the player takes damage or falls into a bottomless pit, they lose half of a heart on the Health Meter. When Princess Peach's Health Meter is fully depleted, the Game Over screen appears, and she must return to the map screen to try again. Perry refers to health as HP.

Donkey Kong Country series

Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong's health bar

In Donkey Kong Country Returns, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (and its Nintendo Switch port), the Kongs' health is measured in hearts. Donkey Kong naturally has two hearts—two more if he carries a partner with him, as well as an additional one if a Heart Boost is equipped. Banana Juice adds ten (five in "New Mode" in Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D) non-refillable hearts to the Health Meter. Each time the Kongs get damaged, they lose one heart from their Health Meter. If all of their hearts have been depleted, they lose one life. Their health is instantly depleted if they fall into a pit or lava or hit anything while riding a Mine Cart or a Rocket Barrel. Hearts can be found along the way and are used to replenish the primates' health bar. The latter game also has separate Health Meters for Mine Carts and Rocket Barrels, with two hearts each; in Donkey Kong Country Returns and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, they have only one heart each, despite the Kongs' current health.

Mario Sports Mix

The Health Meter in Mario Sports Mix
Behemoth's Health Meter

The Health Meter in Mario Sports Mix is used only in dodgeball matches, as well as the dodgeball minigame Bob-omb Dodge. It is shaped like a circle with a black line going down the top half of its middle and ending at the circle's center. Depending on the character that the player is currently using, the icon shown in the top corner of the Health Meter changes accordingly. The player should note that in this game, the Health Meter appears along the top of the screen for every character that is currently playing. This Health Meter also appears in the game's final battle against Behemoth and the Behemoth King.

When the player's character is hit by a dodgeball or another item, such as a Bob-omb, some health is lost. The amount of health lost depends on the item the character is hit with, as certain items cause more or less damage than others. In any case, when a character is hit with an item, the chunk of health that is lost flashes red briefly before disappearing completely, leaving a black space in its place. If a character catches the ball before it hits the ground, the character that was hit by the ball will not lose health. If a character is hit by a special attack, a large amount of health will be lost. When their health is fully depleted, they are out, and sent into the box (the rest of the minigame if Bob-omb Dodge is played). The character's health will be instantly depleted if they fall into the water in DK Dock. To get back in, the player in the box must hit their target. When they do so, they are back in and get a small amount of their health regained. Getting hit even once causes them to be out again.

Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition

In Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition, the HP bar is used. As Mario takes damage, the HP bar drops. When there is only one-fifth remaining, the HP bar turns orange and the heart pulses. When the HP bar is depleted, the Too Bad sequence plays, in which all the orbs fall down from the board. A Game Over occurs if the player chooses not to continue, or if the player runs out of HP when there are zero remaining lives. However, there is an exception. Unlike in Super Mario Sunshine and the Super Mario Galaxy series, the HP bar is not automatically fully depleted when the player runs out of time in Score Attack modes, but the Too Bad sequence still plays.

Super Mario-kun

The Health Meter in volume 16 of the Super Mario-kun
The Power Meter in Super Mario-kun. The Japanese text translates to Mario exclaiming "I'll die if I continue this way!"

In various volumes of Super Mario-kun, a Health Meter is occasionally shown to display Mario's power level, usually at a very low point, most prominently in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine adaptations.
