'''HP''' (which stands for "'''Heart Points'''," "'''Health Points'''," or "'''Hit Points'''," depending on the game using it) is a game mechanic that denotes the health of a character or object in numerous [[Genre#Role-playing games|role-playing game]]s, including those related to the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise, as well as the [[Luigi's Mansion (series)|''Luigi's Mansion'' series]]. HP can be restored using healing [[List of items|items]] such as [[Mushroom]]s, as well as [[Recovery Block]]s (from the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]], the Japanese version of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and all versions of [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|its 3DS remake]], ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''). [[Mario]] can also restore his HP from small hearts that can be found on the field or by defeating enemies.

[[Mario]] can also restore his HP from small hearts that can be found on the field or by defeating enemies.
When a given character's HP reaches zero, they are [[down]]ed. If the last [[party member]] (or just Mario, in the first two ''Paper Mario'' games) is downed, the player will receive a [[Game Over]] unless they have a [[Life Shroom]] (or any other type of life-restorative) in stock. To decrease the chance of this happening, Mario and the other playable characters can increase their maximum HP when [[Level up|leveling up]] in most games.

Certain ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' enemies (such as [[Dry Bones]]) are stated by [[Mallow]]'s [[Thought Peek]] ability to have zero {{hover|HP|Hit Points}}, although this really means that they are immune to all attacks but Magic ones, which destroy them in one hit.

''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'' introduces stronger variants of the regular ghosts, which have increased health. While Luigi scales the [[Scarescraper]], allies can revive him after he loses all his health, bringing him back with 20 {{hover|HP|Heart Points}}. These additions return in ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]'', where Gooigi now has a maximum of 25 {{hover|HP|Heart Points}} that regenerate over time, and Luigi's maximum health has been reduced to 99 {{hover|HP|Heart Points}}. Miniature variants of the [[Mini Goob|Goobs]] and [[Mini Hammer|Hammers]] are introduced, both of which have zero health and thus can be vacuumed without resistance once stunned with a flash.

''[[Luigi's Mansion Arcade]]'' opts to represent Luigi's health with only two hearts, which together act as a gauge. Each attack deals half of a heart of damage, essentially giving Luigi four {{hover|HP|Heart Points}}. The ghosts in this game also have reduced health compared to them in ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'', which the arcade game is based on. Upon losing all health, the player can insert more credits to get a Continue Boost, which restores Luigi to full health.

===''Princess Peach: Showtime!''===
[[File:PPS Heart Charm.png|thumb|80px|The Heart Charm's icon]]
Peach's health meter in ''[[Princess Peach: Showtime!]]'' is shown as hearts, and she starts each level with five HP, shown as hearts above her head and in the pause menu. She loses one HP if she comes into non-attacking contact with an enemy, gets hit by projectiles, falls down, gets caught up during some auto-scrolling sections, or touches lasers or certain kinds of fire; [[Patissiere Peach]] loses a baking competition; or [[Detective Peach]] makes a [[Strike of Intuition]] on an incorrect target. Reducing her HP to zero makes Peach sit down sadly for a short while and sends her back to the most recent checkpoint.
Peach receives HP hearts as a form of gratitude from certain [[Theet]]s she has saved in levels, and when interacting with certain sceneries.
The "Rehearsal" bonus levels start Peach off with one HP, and she cannot gain more hearts during those levels. The one-HP heart is not shown during the bonus levels.
The game does not have a life system. As a result, there are no Game Overs or being booted out of shows. If Peach runs out of hearts, she is deducted 10 coins and is returned to the start of the section or the nearest previous checkpoint.
The game also offers Peach to put on a Heart Charm, which increases the HP at the start of each level to eight, with the extra hearts shown on the right of Peach. It is offered, and can be removed, by a [[Staff Member]] Theet in the upper left of the [[Sparkle Theater#1F|1F]] circle stairs after the player finishes [[The Castle of Thorns]]. [[Stella]] can also offer it to Peach if she runs out of hearts twice in the same section of a show. The extra hearts are shown as green and cannot be replenished by receiving hearts.
