This article is about the heart-shaped item that increases Kirby's maximum health bar in certain games. For the amount of damage Kirby and others can sustain that is sometimes called "vitality", seeHealth.

Vitality is an item that can be acquired in someKirby games which permanently increasesKirby's maximumhealth when collected. It is typically hidden in aTreasure Chest found in a hard-to-reach place and may come in pieces, requiring Kirby to reassemble them before gaining the health boost.

Game appearances[edit]

Kirby & The Amazing Mirror[edit]

Kirby finds a Vitality inCarrot Castle.

Vitalities first appeared inKirby & The Amazing Mirror. There are four of them in total, and finding each one increases Kirby's health by one bar until it reaches a maximum of 10. Finding all of these hearts is a requirement for100% completion.

Vitalities can be found in the following rooms:

Kirby: Canvas Curse[edit]

Main article:Medal Swap

Instead of being found in chests in the main levels ofKirby: Canvas Curse, the player can purchaseLife Boosts from theMedal Swap. Each of these costs a different number ofMedals to unlock, and there are three in total which can be purchased. These boosts only affect Kirby, and do not increase the maximum health of the other characters.

In addition,Paint Roller can paint a Vitality during thePaint PanicBoss Game.

Kirby: Squeak Squad[edit]

Screenshot of Vitality in theCollection Room.

InKirby: Squeak Squad, Vitalities return, and there are once again four to collect. This time, however, they are split into eight halves which must be found separately in large treasure chests in various stages. Whenever Kirby finds two halves of a Vitality (no specific pieces are needed), he can put them together to increase his maximum health.

Vitality pieces can be found in the following stages:
