Small heart

A Small Heart is an item found in Super Mario Bros. 2. It would sometimes fly out of enemies when hit. When Mario, Luigi, Peach or Toad grabbed it, they would get one more life. They have somewhat the same function as a Mushroom in this game.

It also appears in Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix. When used, it will refill half of Mario or Luigi's dance meter if it empties. It can be bought at any shop in Story Mode for seventy coins.
