Talk:Health Meter

Create this article?
Should we create this article? I can't seem to find an article that covers health meters in games such as Super Mario 64, Super Mario Galaxy, and Yoshi's Story. The only article we have that comes close is Heart Point, which really only deals with health in the RPGs. Redstar 05:15, 21 December 2009 (EST)
 * Wouldn't it be best to just put this info into the gameplay section of the respective game? I don't think a whole article about something as trivial as a health meter would be necessary. - 05:18, 21 December 2009 (EST)
 * Ok, I just realized that this would also make the Heart Point article kind of superfluous... - 05:23, 21 December 2009 (EST)
 * Well we already have an article on Heart Points, as mentioned above, so it's only consistent. While your suggestion may be best, the idea came to me because we have a Smile Meter article (where I just noticed this same idea was brought up before, with you discussing it as well) and it made sense to group it with the health meters in other games. As it stands now, they're simply not represented. I can go either way. (Also, edit conflict. This was written before/during your comment) Redstar 05:25, 21 December 2009 (EST)


 * It would also probably be best to add the breath meter here as well. I haven't been able to find an article covering that, either, so if this article were to be made it makes sense to group them together. I recall in Super Mario 64 that if you went underwater and let your breath go down one bubble, when you came up both your breath and your health would be replenished, so the two are tied together.

Yoshi's Universal Gravitation
It's also appeared in Yoshi's Universal Gravitation (GBA game with moton sensors), who can add stuff into article?

SSB series
It's more like a Heart Points than Health. Should we move it?

Donkey Kong Jungle Beat
Should we include the health topic for Donkey Kong Jungle Beat and its New Play Control! version? Juju1995 (talk) 13:59, July 22, 2023 (EDT)
 * Well if it fits the description, yeah, we should cover it. 04:03, July 23, 2023 (EDT)
