A '''Spinning Heart''' (also referred to simply as a '''heart''')<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) Issue 47|page=19|date=August 1996}}</ref> is a supportive object seen in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. Spinning Hearts are translucent red hearts that slowly revolve on the ground. When [[Mario]] runs through one, the Spinning Heart quickly replenishes his [[Health Meter#Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS|Power Meter]]. The heart spins proportionally to the speed Mario [[dash|run]]s through it, gradually slowing back to normal. While the heart is spinning faster than usual, Mario heals one sector each full turn the heart makes.<ref>{{cite|author=UncommentatedPannen|language=en|date=July 21, 2016|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeGNpeFOOCY&t=377s|title=HP|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=November 11, 2018}}</ref> In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', [[Yoshi]], [[Luigi]], and [[Wario]] can also use a Spinning Heart to recover health. In ''Super Mario 64'', the Spinning Heart is just a translucent sprite rendered in the 3D scene with collision data. In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', it is an opaque 3D model.


A total of 15 Spinning Hearts appears in both games, with one in Tick Tock Clock and the one in Goomboss Battle being exclusive to ''Super Mario 64'' and ''Super Mario 64 DS'', respectively. Spinning Hearts are often found in areas with greater risk of damage or before boss battles. The following Spinning Hearts appear in the following locations:
The '''Spinning Heart''' is a helpful object that is found in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''; it later reappeared in the remake, ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''.


{|class="wikitable"
The Spinning Heart is a red heart that slowly spins around on the ground. When [[Mario]] runs into it, the Spinning Heart will recover his health in proportion to the speed he ran through it. In the remake of the game, ''Super Mario 64 DS'', [[Yoshi]], [[Luigi]] and [[Wario]] can also use this object to recover their own health bars.
