- This article is about heart-shaped items in Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go! that power up its user in various ways. For the heart patch in City Trial, see Patch.
Power-Up Hearts are items which appear exclusively in Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go!; an Extra Mode in Kirby Star Allies. Picking up one of these hearts will augment the health, speed, or attack of the user and their team, depending on the type of heart collected. Each stat can be increased up to five times before hitting the maximum, from which no further stat boost will have an effect. Power-Up Hearts can be obtained in stages by defeating enemy ambushes, exploring side areas, or opening Treasure Chests. When entering a new level, all stat bonuses gained will be lost.
Types of Hearts[edit]
There are four types of Power-Up Hearts in the game, with each having a different effect. They are as follows:
- Attack Heart - Red in color with a 'hit' insignia. These hearts boost damage dealt by all attacks for the party.
- Health Heart - Green in color with a shield insignia. These hearts heal the party and boost maximum health.
- Speed Heart - Blue in color with an arrow insignia. These hearts boost the horizontal movement speed of the party, but don't boost the vertical movement speed or some moves like Meta Knight's Shuttle Loop, Plasma's Light-Speed Dash or Zan Partizanne's Lightning Dodge.
- All-Up Heart - Rainbow in color (due to actively changing colors) and resembles three hearts with the central one being larger and having a star insignia. Boosts all three stats of the party by one.

Trivia[edit]
- The in-game timer freezes momentarily when a Power-Up Heart is collected.
- If the Friend collects a Power-Up Heart while dashing, it will remove the dash momentum. The momentum is preserved, however, if a Power-Up Heart is collected while the Friend is in the air.
- The jingles used upon starting a Guest Star ???? run as a Friend and upon collecting an All-Up Heart share part of the Friendly Field stage theme.
- In the Friend Train sections of Level 1 and Level 3, if 4P is tall enough, they will touch the Power-Up Hearts at the end of the area and cancel the train crash recovery time.
- Characters that are tall enough to do so include Bonkers, Bugzzy, Chef Kawasaki, King Dedede, Adeleine & Ribbon, Daroach and The Three Mage-Sisters.
- Despite not looking like such, Driblee can touch the Power-Up Hearts in these sections with their hat. On the other hand, despite initial appearances, Vividria and Susie are not tall enough to touch these hearts.
- In the HAL Room of Jambandra Base (before the second checkpoint of Level 5), an extra set of Attack, Health and Speed Hearts will appear after destroying all the star blocks spelling out HAL. However, the Friends can usually max out Attack and Speed without collecting these extra hearts before the second checkpoint.
