A Spinning Heart is a helpful object that is found in Super Mario 64 and its remake, Super Mario 64 DS. Spinning Hearts are translucent red hearts that slowly revolve on the ground. When Mario runs through one, the Spinning Heart will quickly replenish his Power Meter in proportion to the speed with which he runs through it. Thus, the faster he runs through it, the more health he recovers. Spinning Hearts are often found at the bottom of a cliff where the player may fall and lose health. In Super Mario 64 DS, Yoshi, Luigi, and Wario can also use a Spinning Heart to recover their own Power Meters.
