Hearts,[1][2] also referred to as Bonus Hearts,[3] are items appearing in Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 and Virtual Boy Wario Land.

History[edit]

Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3[edit]

Hearts can be found in many ? Blocks throughout Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3. After appearing, hearts blink and continuously remain in place. They do not disappear until picked up, giving 10 Heart Points[4] towards an extra life to Wario. In contrast, one Heart Point is normally awarded for each defeated enemy unless a Star is active (which changes it to 10 Heart Points per enemy).

Virtual Boy Wario Land[edit]

Hearts are items in Virtual Boy Wario Land. They are included in two types: a regular heart now worth one Heart Point, and a Big Heart[2] worth the original number of 10 Heart Points. Regular hearts can additionally be obtained by destroying blocks or defeating an enemy from one of Sea Dragon Wario or King Dragon Wario's fire attacks.

Since no other Wario Land games feature a Heart Point system, these types of hearts have never reappeared. In Wario Land 4, however, hearts that replenish health make an appearance.
