Editing Heart Container

|interwikipage = Heart Container

}}

The '''Heart Container''' ({{ja|ハートのうつわ|Hāto no Utsuwa}}, ''Heart Container''), known simply as '''Heart''' in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', is an [[item]] that will reduce the [[damage]] of the character who picks it up. Its operation has remained functionally identical, but the nuances of its healing have changed in some of the games.

In ''Super Smash Bros.'' consuming at least two or three Heart Containers in a match (respectively) gives the player the Heartthrob bonus, worth 17,000 points in ''SSB'' (8,000 points in the Japanese version of ''SSB'') and 2,800 points in ''Melee''. As the Heart Container is the only healing item in ''Melee'' that is not also a "food" item, consuming three Heart Containers is the only way to attain the Wimp bonus, worth 1,500 points; as a result, the Wimp bonus always overlaps with Heartthrob.

==In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''==

Heart Containers again take on their appearance from ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time''. Heart Containers function similarly to ''64''. However, it now only heals a total of 100%. The player is given three Heart Containers in the [[All-Star Rest Area]] that can heal all of their damage instead of the standard 100%. Due to a glitch, entering the teleporter in ''Melee'' will interrupt the Heart Container's healing and thus not fully heal the player. Completing All-Star Mode in ''Melee'' without using a Heart Container or Continuing gives the player the Melee Master bonus, worth 100,000 points.

|desc-ntsc=The best recovery item! Grab this and heal 100 percentage points of damage. It falls slowly, so it's best to grab it in midair. Damage recovery won't happen instantly, though, so try not to get launched while your damage is counting down. In the Legend of Zelda series, Heart Containers raise the player's maximum health. Bosses always have one in their possession.

===Vs. Master Fortress===

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', a Heart Container will drop on the stage when [[Master Fortress]] appears, which fully heals the player like in All-Star Mode. It can be left alone and used in later phases, if the player returns to the stage proper.

===Trophy===
