'''Heave-Hos'''<ref>''Super Mario 64 [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]]'', pages 13, 94 & 115</ref> are red mechanical enemies in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. They appear in [[Tick Tock Clock]] and [[Wet-Dry World]]. Their faces resemble those of an [[Amp]]. Heave-Hos can not be destroyed.

They ride on three wheels, and have a dustpan-like mechanism with footprints on it, which they use to fling [[Mario]] upwards. On the Heave-Hos' sides are emblems of [[Bowser]] giving a thumbs up, which is over "KOOPA" written around in fire. After moving around their area, they lose power, and they have to wind up the key-like object in their backs, much like a toy.

'''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.
Heave-Hos can help Mario by flinging him upwards depending on the direction they are facing to help him reach higher areas. However, one wrong move can cause Mario and the gang to take fall damage or even get flung into a [[pit]]. They will disappear if the water level is too high for the platforms they are located on. Once the water is drained, the Heave-Hos will reappear on their respective platforms.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*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 "[[Get a Hand]]" [[Power Star|star]] in Tick Tock Clock by stepping on a Heave-Ho at an angle where it 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.

*When moving, they make the sound of a working machine, similar to the [[Chuckya]].
*In the Japanese version only, getting attacked by a Heave-Ho will exclusively trigger the damage process upon landing even if no damage is actually taken. In international versions, if no damage is taken, Mario will make the same sound he makes if hit by a [[Koopa Troopa]], and he doesn't flash upon getting back on his feet.
