They appear in [[Tick Tock Clock]] and [[Wet-Dry World]], as well as in [[Battle Fort]] in the [[reissue|remake]]. Their name comes from the nautical expression "heave-ho" and the verb "heave", referring to their behavior. Heave-Hos patrol certain areas, using windup keys to move around. Heave-Hos make the sound of a working machine as they move, similarly to a [[Chuckya]]. After a while, a Heave-Ho loses power, and it winds itself back up to continue moving around. If a player character stands on a Heave-Ho's platform, it flings him high up from behind, which is sometimes required to reach certain higher areas. However, in some cases, the character may be flung too high, causing him to lose [[Health Meter|health]] upon landing. In Wet-Dry World, Heave-Hos disappear if the [[water]] level rises above the platforms, but Heave-Hos return when the water drains to a lower level. In some cases, a Heave-Ho can help the player character reach a [[Power Star|Star]], such as in Tick Tock Clock's mission [[Get a Hand]], where if the character steps on a certain Heave-Ho as it faces a certain direction, it flings the character directly up to the Star, but there is risk of the character being flung down into a [[pit]]. | ||
Heave-Hos' bodies are a dark red color, and they have yellow windup keys on their backs. They ride on three wheels and have a dustpan-like mechanism with footprints on it. The sides of Heave-Hos have an emblem of [[Bowser]] giving a thumbs up, above the word "KOOPA" written around in fire. The word "KOOPA" was left unchanged for international releases. In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', Heave-Hos have undergone multiple visual changes, having eyes inside visors instead of a face and lacking the side decal, and having blue treads instead of the beige wheels from previously. | Heave-Hos' bodies are a dark red color, and they have yellow windup keys on their backs.
