| | '''Heave Hos''' are red mechanical enemies in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. Heave Ho's name is a pun on "Heave Ho!" which people would say when trying to move something. They appear in [[Tick Tock Clock]] and [[Wet-Dry World]]. |

| '''Heave-Hos'''<ref>{{cite|author=Pelland, Scott and Dan Owsen|title=''Super Mario 64'' Player's Guide|page=13|date=1996|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> are indestructible mechanical windup toys and enemies in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. They appear in [[Tick Tock Clock]] and [[Wet-Dry World]], as well as in [[Battle Fort]] in the DS [[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.

After moving around their area they lose power, and they have to wind up the gear in their backs, much like a toy. |

| | Heave Hos can help Mario by flinging him upwards depending on the direction they are facing to help him reach higher area. More often than not, they are a hinderance, as the height at which they toss Mario is such that he will take fall damage upon landing (unless he lands on a higher area); this is especially dangerous if he is thrown into a lower level. |

| *The [[Cataquack]], an enemy appearing in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' and later games, behaves similarly to a Heave-Ho. Both enemies use flat surfaces protruding from their bodies to launch Mario high into the air. | | *It is possible to obtain the "[[Tick Tock Clock #Star 3: Get a Hand|Get a Hand]]" [[Power Star|star]] in Tick Tock Clock by stepping on a Heave Ho at an angle where it will directly flings the character into the star. |
| *Getting flung by a Heave-Ho triggers the damage process upon landing even if the fall is not high enough to damage Mario. In international versions, if no damage is taken, Mario makes the same sound effect as if hit by a [[Koopa Troopa]], and he does not flash when he gets back up.
