Hearts are representations of how many times Ulala can miss a dance turn before failing in the Space Channel 5 series. In Part 2, Ulala may also receive Stars in place of Hearts.
Space Channel 5[]
In Space Channel 5, Hearts are used throughout the entire game for dance and boss battles. As previously stated, they are used to determine how many times Ulala can miss a set of commands. Outside of boss battles, Hearts are not given during shooting segments.
If Ulala loses a heart during a dance battle, a corresponding number of back-up dancers (people she has recused) will disappear when the segment ends. If Ulala completely run out of Hearts, the segment will end prematurely. During normal dance battles against Morolians and rivals, this results in them escaping with their hostages or companion. During a boss battle, Ulala's Swingin' Report Show will be cancelled and the player will receive a game over.

Space Channel 5: Part 2[]
Heart in Space Channel 5: Part 2 function near identical to the Hearts that appear during dance battles in Space Channel 5; if Ulala completely run out of Hearts, the segment will end prematurely. However, unlike the previous title, Ulala can be given hearts for shooting segments, including finales, and the people she rescued will no longer disappear if she loses a heart. During boss battles or important events, Hearts are often replaced with Stars. Unlike Hearts in this game, if Ulala loses all her Stars, Ulala's Swingin' Report Show will be cancelled and the player will receive a game over.
Outside of the finales in Report 3 and 6, Hearts are only used in Reports 1, 2, and 4. In Extra Mode, missing and losing a Heart has a harsher penalty on the ratings.
