In early games in the series, Kirby had distinct bars of health, and anything that dealt him damage (and was not immediately fatal) took exactly one point away. The only exception were [[Gordo]]s, which dealt a much more painful three bars of damage, and [[Dark Mind]]'s (second form) laser attack, which can deal 2 units of damage. As such, some restorative items tended to also heal in these discrete fashions, with [[Energy Drink]]s restoring a small number of bars, and [[Maxim Tomato]]es restoring all of them.

In later games, starting with ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', and most games since then, Kirby and his allies' health is represented not as discrete bars, but as one continuous bar. In addition, damage sources could vary in severity, with some hits dealing minor damage, taking only a small portion away, and others dealing a comparatively large amount of damage. In addition, smaller [[Food]] items such as cherries would appear in these titles, to heal minor amounts of health.

===Bosses and mid-bosses===
===Bosses and mid-bosses===
In most every game in the series when a boss or mid-boss is encountered, its health is displayed to the player on the HUD, often overlapping a previous display to avoid taking up extra space on the screen. Despite earlier bosses showing their health as discrete units, it may in fact take several hits to deplete one unit of their health, as is the case with the boss [[Kabula]] or that the number of units loss from the same damage doesn't always lose the same amount of bars, this is because these bosses have more health than the game could display, thus representing them as approximate health percentage to the nearest unit. Bosses in particular typically have a very high health, and will take numerous hits to defeat. Some of them may not necessarily be defeated when their health bar is emptied, instead taking on a new form or phase and displaying a new bar to drain. Others, particularly in later games, will enter different phases of attacks depending on how much health they have remaining.

Despite earlier bosses showing their health as discrete units, it may in fact take several hits to deplete one unit of their health, as is the case with the boss [[Kabula]]. It is also sometimes the case that the same attack may appear to deal differing amounts of damage at different times; this is because the boss's health is internally stored as a higher number than the game can display, so the visual units represent a fraction of their health rounded to the nearest whole. Bosses in particular typically have a very high health, and will take numerous hits to defeat. Some of them may not necessarily be defeated when their health bar is emptied, instead taking on a new form or phase and displaying a new bar to drain. Others, particularly in later games, will enter different phases of attacks depending on how much health they have remaining.


From ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' onward, bosses almost always have less health when fought in [[The Arena]], [[The True Arena]], [[The Ultimate Choice]] and the [[Colosseum]], usually multiplied by 0.75.

===== ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'' =====
In ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'', mid-bosses and bosses have different HP values depending on the number of players in a game session, no matter if said players are present for the battle or not. Unlike other games in the series, there is no set value the HP or damage is multiplied by, and even some bosses with the same HP value for one player may have different values for more players.<ref>{{twitterlink|WaddleDX|1709510856307085507|wbsnap=y}}</ref> The following is a table for each mid-boss and boss:
