A Life-Up Heart is a power-up item that appears in Super Mario Odyssey. It is the only "traditional" power-up in the game, as for the most part, Mario gains additional powers through Cappy's Capture ability. A Life-Up Heart serves the same function as a Life Mushroom from Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2: When collected, a Life-Up Heart increases Mario's maximum health to six (nine in Assist Mode) and sets his current health to that maximum; however, if his health is depleted back to three (six in Assist Mode), he loses the three extra pieces of health until another Life-Up Heart is obtained. While Mario's life meter is not at maximum health, a second Life-Up Heart refills his health. If the player collects a Life-Up Heart at maximum health, it grants 10 coins instead. Life-Up Hearts can be won from the minigame Slots and found in treasure chests, ? Blocks, or various other areas. Only one Life-Up Heart appears in 2D: In the Metro Kingdom's Projection Room, the 2D Life-Up Heart replaces the 1-Up Mushroom within the Hidden Block in World 1-1 in Super Mario Bros.

Life-Up Hearts can be purchased from any Crazy Cap store for 50 regular coins. Crazy Cap stores do not sell Mario a Life-Up Heart if he already has six health points. The item is treated as though it were already purchased. Purchasing a Life-Up Heart leads to the cutscene for boosting Mario's maximum HP even if a prior Life-Up Heart is still in effect. Additionally, as per that cutscene, the shop menu is closed after Mario buys a Life-Up Heart. Also, if Mario gets defeated three times during a boss battle, a Crazy Cap seller appears to sell him a Life-Up Heart. The seller appears only until the boss is defeated.

A bonus Life-Up Heart can be obtained by scanning any Princess Peach amiibo,[1] with the exception of Cat Peach.

The Heart Rally in Mario Kart World is branded with a Life-Up Heart.
