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.

*So far, there are two games in the ''Kirby'' series which do not employ health for Kirby under any circumstance. The first is ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]'', as here, getting hit or falling in a [[Bottomless pit|pit]] simply results in losing beads. The second is ''[[Kirby's Dream Buffet]]'', as Kirby merely gets bumped away by anything that hits him, and falling out of bounds (or getting Screen KO'd by [[Invincible Candy]]) will only result in lost time (or lost [[Strawberry|strawberries]] in Battle Royale modes).
