Vitality Heart

A Vitality Heart is a collectible item in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror. It increases Kirby's maximum health, or vitality.

Kirby & The Amazing Mirror
Vitality Hearts first appear in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, which are hidden in various treasure chests in the game. Four of them are present, allowing Kirby's health to go from the traditional six bars to ten bars.

Kirby: Canvas Curse
Vitality Hearts reappear in Kirby: Canvas Curse, but instead of being hidden collectibles, the player can purchase them by using Medals. There are only three this time, boosting Kirby's health from four bars up to seven bars, being on par with Dedede Ball.

Kirby: Squeak Squad
Vitality Hearts appear once again, returning to four in total; however, Kirby receives pieces of them instead of the whole heart, each called a Vitality Half, requiring two pieces to actually increase his maximum health. One half is found is each level of the game, mainly in the extra stages. Kirby's current health does not adjust to the health bar increase, meaning that he will not be at full health after completing a Vitality Heart.
