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 DS 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.
