So here is a quick guide on how heart points work in this game.
How to Get Heart Points in SMB Wonder
There are mainly three ways of getting heart points in this game
- Rescue another player: Whenever a player dies, you have 5 seconds to revive them by touching their ghosts. They can still use their life and continue from the last checkpoint. But reviving them not only saves their life but also gives you the most heart points compared to the other methods.
- Give players items: Whenever you already have a power-up, collecting another one stores it as an extra. So to use them you simply have to press and hold the A button. A bubble with the power-up will now form above your head. Use this power-up and give it to another player when they are out of power or have shrunk.
- Complete level together: For this you and your friends or the players you are playing with have to touch the goal flag pole together. Doing this will reward every player with heart points. While it may not give as many points as when you revive them, it still is a good way to get some of it.
