The Spinning Heart is a health-restoring item in Super Mario 64 and its remake Super Mario 64 DS.

Description[]

A Spinning Heart is a red translucent heart that slowly revolves on the ground. When Mario runs through it, the Spinning Heart will quickly replenish his Health Meter depending on the speed with which he runs through it. As such, the faster Mario runs through it, the more health is restored. A Spinning Heart restores one unit of health per each rotation.

In Super Mario 64 DS, Yoshi, Luigi, and Wario can also use a Spinning Heart to recover their own Health Meter.
