Life Meter

The Life Meter (sometimes referred to Health Meter) is Mario's health. It depletes when Mario takes damage.
==Description==
From the Super Mario Galaxy 3 instruction book:
If the Life Meter reaches 0 by getting hit by enemies, thorns, or other dangerous obstacles, or if you fall into a Black Hole, Mario will lose a life. If Mario loses all his lives, it's Game Over, and Mario will be taken back to Starship Mario.
The Life Meter is referring to Mario's health. It'll deplete by touching enemies, and will eventually each 0, thus Mario will lose a life. By grabbing a Life Mushroom, it will grow, but any more damage will revert it back to default.
==Appearance==
The Life Meter displays "Life" and goes up to 3. It's color depends on how much health there is, with 3 eing blue, 2 being yellow, 1 being red, and zero being black, and eventually shattering.
==Effects==
When a Daredevil Comet occurs, Mario only has 1, and the whole background is red.
Grabbing a Life Mushroom gives 3 additional pieces, all being green.
