1-Up Heart
Mario Gains an extra life – hearts were used in Game Boy games because with the limited graphical capabilities of the gameboy it would have been difficult to tell Super Mushrooms and 1 Up Mushrooms apart.

1-Up Mushroom
Green Mushrooms that give you an extra life if you eat it, less common than Super Mushrooms. More often than not these mushrooms will be hidden in blocks, or in a position that’s difficult to get to for the player. This is true for most Super Mario platform games however things differed a little in some of the non-platform Mario titles for example;

  • Mario Baseball series – The 1-Up Mushroom can only be found in a slot in Toy Field. A player who gets a 1-Up Mushroom in these games gets a second go at batting, even if the fielders caught them out the first time.
  • Mario Kart Double Dash – The 1-Up Mushroom although it isnt a useful item, is referenced as the logo on the front of Toadettes kart.
Games featured: Since Super Mario Bros (1985) the 1-Up Mushroom has been commonplace in Mario games right the way up to the modern day games such as Super Mario Galaxy 2 (2010)

3-Up Moon
This item gives three lives to whoever finds it. The 3-Up moon is, as you would expect, moon-like in appearance and has eyes and a smiling face – the moons are very rare and can be found on shelves of cloud in the sky, but also on the ground. Each moon can only be collected once, if a player re-loads the level it wont be there.
