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.
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:


These objects appear in [[Bob-omb Battlefield]], [[Lethal Lava Land]], [[Bowser in the Fire Sea]], [[Hazy Maze Cave]], and [[Cool, Cool Mountain]], always in places full of enemies and obstacles as well.

“You can also recover power by touching the Spinning Heart. The faster you run through the heart, the more power you'll recover.”
—Sign on the Bob-omb Battlefield, Super Mario 64

A Spinning Heart (also referred to simply as a heart)[1] 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 Power Meter. The heart spins proportionally to the speed Mario runs 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.[2] 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:
