The '''Heart Pillars''' are tall pillars scattered around [[Flipside]] and [[Flopside]] that are used to house the [[Pure Heart]]s in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. Once the four heroes place a Pure Heart into a Heart Pillar, a new doorway to another dimension becomes available.

There are eight heart pillars in the game, and they are mostly found in the outskirts of Flipside and Flopside (though the game's first Heart Pillar is found on the third floor of Flipside, and the fifth is in the equivalent location in Flopside). They also typically require the use of a certain [[Pixl]] or the abilities of a certain hero, usually one obtained in the previous chapter, in order to be reached. However, the final Heart Pillar, which can be accessed anytime after entering Flopside, remains invisible until its respective Pure Heart is found, with only its signature heart indentation visible in the air.

==Locations==
* '''{{color|The first Heart Pillar|red}}''' is in the left of the {{hover|3rd floor|2nd floor in the PAL edition}} of Flipside. [[Mario]] puts the red Pure Heart into it at the beginning of the game.
* '''{{color|The second Heart Pillar|orange}}''' is on a high platform in the right of the {{hover|1st floor|ground floor in the PAL edition}} outskirts of Flipside. The heroes use [[Princess Peach]]'s floating ability to reach it and put the orange Pure Heart into it after Chapter 1.
* '''{{color|The third Heart Pillar|gold}}''' is beyond a wall in the right of the B1 outskirts of Flipside. The heroes use [[Slim (Pixl)|Slim]]'s ability to get through the wall in 3D and put the yellow Pure Heart into it after Chapter 2.
* '''{{color|The fourth Heart Pillar|limegreen}}''' is in the left of the {{hover|2nd floor|1st floor in the PAL edition}} outskirts of Flipside. The heroes use [[Thudley]]'s ability to pound the five pegs in the ground into the pattern "down, up, down, up, down" to make the Heart Pillar appear, and put the green Pure Heart into it after Chapter 3.
* '''{{color|The fifth Heart Pillar|deepskyblue}}''' is in the right of the {{hover|3rd floor|2nd floor in the PAL edition}} of Flopside. The heroes put the blue Pure Heart into it after Chapter 4.
* '''{{color|The sixth Heart Pillar|blue}}''' is in the left of the {{hover|1st floor|ground floor in the PAL edition}} outskirts of Flopside. The heroes break the stone (which is a yellow block in disguise) with [[Cudge]] and press the big switch to make the Heart Pillar appear, and put the indigo Pure Heart into it after Chapter 5.
* '''{{color|The seventh Heart Pillar|purple}}''' is beyond a high wall in the left of the B1 outskirts of Flopside. The heroes use [[Luigi]]'s jumping ability to pass it and put the violet Pure Heart into it at the end of the Chapter 6 intermission.
* '''{{color|The eighth Heart Pillar|grey}}''' is in the right of the {{hover|2nd floor|1st floor in the PAL edition}} outskirts of Flopside. The heroes put the white Pure Heart into it after Chapter 7. (Before the heroes obtain the white Pure Heart, it simply appears as a heart-shaped slot and cannot be used.)
