The '''Pure Hearts''' are eight sacred artifacts created by the [[Tribe of Ancients]] to save the world from the [[Chaos Heart]]. The Pure Hearts seem to be <i>[[Super Paper Mario]]</i>'s equivalent of <i>[[Paper Mario]]</i>'s [[Star Spirits]] and <i>[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]</i>'s [[Crystal Stars]]. They appear as large, heart-shaped gems with rounded edges, and are collected in the order of colors as they would appear on a rainbow (save the final Pure Heart, which is white; the result of all colors being mixed together).
The '''Pure Hearts''' are powerful artifacts created by the [[Tribe of Ancients]] in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. All eight Pure Hearts are components of the [[Purity Heart]], and they were created by the Ancients using various different types and forces of love, which was believed to be the only force powerful enough to save all worlds from destruction.


[[Mario]] receives a Pure Heart from Merlon before the player even controls him in the beginning of the game, and must find the other seven throughout his adventure to form the [[Purity Heart]]. After acquiring a Pure Heart, Mario must take it to a [[Heart Pillar]] and insert it into a shaped indentation. This creates a door to a new world atop [[Flipside Tower]], with the color of the door matching the Pure Heart used to create it. The only exception is the white Pure Heart, which causes the large black door to [[Castle Bleck]] to appear atop [[Flopside Tower]].
The Pure Hearts were created as part of the prophecies detailed in the [[Light Prognosticus]], which state that four [[Heroes of Light]] must gather all eight of them in order to counteract the [[Chaos Heart]] and defeat the one who wields it. When placed in a [[Heart Pillar]], each Pure Heart leads to a dimension where the next one is located, through a series of doors at the top of [[Flipside Tower]]. The first Pure Heart is held by a descendant of the Ancients named [[Merlon]], who gives it to Mario, the first of the four heroes, with the task of travelling through dimensions in order to gather the other seven and stop [[Count Bleck]] from destroying all worlds using [[The Void]]. During his journey, Mario eventually comes to reunite with [[Princess Peach]], [[Bowser]], and [[Luigi]], all of whom are proven to be the remaining three Heroes of Light, and together, the four of them manage to collect all eight Pure Hearts and travel to [[Castle Bleck]].


According to [[Carson]], the Pure Hearts are powered by love (parental, romantic, etc.). The Ancients researched love, believing it to be the universe's only salvation; the Pure Hearts are thus the physical embodiment of love. It was written in the [[Light Prognosticus]] that a group of [[Heroes of Light|heroes]] must find all of the Pure Hearts to destroy the Chaos Heart and save all worlds from annihilation.
The eight Pure Hearts, as well as their locations and the sources of love they correspond to, are listed below.
 
Despite their incredible power, the Pure Hearts are not indestructible. If a dimension collapses while a Pure Heart is in it, the artifact loses most of its power, becoming a large, heart-shaped stone. It can only be repowered by an extremely powerful entity, but suffers no loss of potency when the act is complete.
 
It was also believed that the Pure Hearts would disappear forever if used together against the Chaos Heart's power. This became a major factor in [[Dimentio]]'s plan to remake the universe; by tricking the heroes into "wasting" the Pure Hearts against [[Count Bleck]], he would be able to take control of the Chaos Heart and [[The Void]]. However, it is revealed that the Pure Hearts can be recreated by powerful feelings of love, which spells the end of Dimentio's schemes and allows Count Bleck and [[Tippi]] - now revealed as Lord Blumiere and Lady Timpani - to finally destroy the Chaos Heart.

All Pure Hearts are drawn by their own power toward those strong with love, likely due to their aforementioned love-powered creation. Each Pure Heart gained leads the player to the next, with the exception of the eighth one, which leads to the [[Chaos Heart]]. It is also implied that the Pure Hearts may be sapient, as Luvbi, a Nimbi personification of the White Pure Heart, claims to 'remember' being one soon after learning of her true identity.
Despite the immense power of the Pure Hearts, they are not indestructible, as was shown when one of them was consumed by The Void along with the rest of Sammer's Kingdom. This led to the Pure Heart being robbed of its power and turned to stone until it was revitalized by [[Queen Jaydes]] of [[The Underwhere]], using her power over life and death. Also, the power of the Pure Hearts is depleted after they are used to break through the Chaos Heart's protection over Count Bleck; this allows Dimentio, under the guidance of the [[Dark Prognosticus]], to usurp control of the Chaos Heart unopposed following Bleck's defeat, fusing together it, himself, and Luigi to create an invincible creature known as [[Super Dimentio]].
 
However, the loyalty of Bleck's minions, [[Nastasia]], [[O'Chunks]], and [[Mimi]], serves as powerful enough to return power to the Pure Hearts, which subsequently weakens Super Dimentio's power and allows the Heroes of Light to eventually defeat him. However, Dimentio uses the last of his power to sustain the Chaos Heart long enough to ensure the destruction of every world. In their final moments, Count Bleck and Tippi - now revealed to be long-lost lovers Lord Blumiere and Lady Timpani - reaffirm their love for each other, sacrificing themselves in order to save all worlds; their vows manage to unite the Pure Hearts into the Purity Heart, destroying the Chaos Heart and reversing the prophecy of destruction.

The Pure Hearts are powerful artifacts created by the Tribe of Ancients in Super Paper Mario. All eight Pure Hearts are components of the Purity Heart, and they were created by the Ancients using various different types and forces of love, which was believed to be the only force powerful enough to save all worlds from destruction.

The Pure Hearts were created as part of the prophecies detailed in the Light Prognosticus, which state that four Heroes of Light must gather all eight of them in order to counteract the Chaos Heart and defeat the one who wields it. When placed in a Heart Pillar, each Pure Heart leads to a dimension where the next one is located, through a series of doors at the top of Flipside Tower. The first Pure Heart is held by a descendant of the Ancients named Merlon, who gives it to Mario, the first of the four heroes, with the task of travelling through dimensions in order to gather the other seven and stop Count Bleck from destroying all worlds using The Void. During his journey, Mario eventually comes to reunite with Princess Peach, Bowser, and Luigi, all of whom are proven to be the remaining three Heroes of Light, and together, the four of them manage to collect all eight Pure Hearts and travel to Castle Bleck.

The eight Pure Hearts, as well as their locations and the sources of love they correspond to, are listed below.

The white Pure Heart grey Guarded by King Grambi of The Overthere and his wife, Queen Jaydes of The Underwhere, by disguising it as a Nimbi girl named Luvbi. Following the defeat of Bonechill, Luvbi assumes her true form in order to save all worlds. Familial - represents the love and devotion between Grambi and Jaydes as well as that which they came to give Luvbi as their daughter.

Despite the immense power of the Pure Hearts, they are not indestructible, as was shown when one of them was consumed by The Void along with the rest of Sammer's Kingdom. This led to the Pure Heart being robbed of its power and turned to stone until it was revitalized by Queen Jaydes of The Underwhere, using her power over life and death. Also, the power of the Pure Hearts is depleted after they are used to break through the Chaos Heart's protection over Count Bleck; this allows Dimentio, under the guidance of the Dark Prognosticus, to usurp control of the Chaos Heart unopposed following Bleck's defeat, fusing together it, himself, and Luigi to create an invincible creature known as Super Dimentio.

However, the loyalty of Bleck's minions, Nastasia, O'Chunks, and Mimi, serves as powerful enough to return power to the Pure Hearts, which subsequently weakens Super Dimentio's power and allows the Heroes of Light to eventually defeat him. However, Dimentio uses the last of his power to sustain the Chaos Heart long enough to ensure the destruction of every world. In their final moments, Count Bleck and Tippi - now revealed to be long-lost lovers Lord Blumiere and Lady Timpani - reaffirm their love for each other, sacrificing themselves in order to save all worlds; their vows manage to unite the Pure Hearts into the Purity Heart, destroying the Chaos Heart and reversing the prophecy of destruction.
