'''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 [[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''' are mechanical enemies in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' that can be either helpful, or a pain.
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 are red enemies with the face of an [[Amp]]. They travel around on three wheels, with a tool in front that resembles a dustpan. If [[Mario]] happens to step on the dustpan, he will be shot up in the direction the Heave Ho's back is facing. This is a good way to get a boost to high areas, but landing too low can drain life power.

On the Heave Hos' sides are emblems of [[Bowser]] giving a thumbs up, which is over the word "KOOPA" written around in fire. After moving around their area they lose power, and they have to wind up the gear in their backs, much like a toy. They appear in [[Wet-Dry World]] and [[Tick Tock Clock]].

*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.

Heave-Hos[1] 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 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 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 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.
