Heart

Hearts are items in. When Captain Olimar or one of the Pikmin idling in his group touch a heart, the captain receives some health, and the heart disappears. The heart will still disappear if he has full health. There are two types of hearts: small hearts that will only heal one bar, and big hearts that will heal all bars. They are usually in mid-air, and can commonly be found before or after hard segments of an area. At least one heart can be found in every area in ''Hey! Pikmin'', except for boss areas.

Visually, they look like standard cartoon hearts, but have some leafs protruding from the top, making them look a bit like es.
