1-Up

1-Ups are power-ups found throughout the Super Mario Bros. franchise, functioning as a variant of the Mushroom, giving the player an extra life upon being collected. They are usually somewhat hard to find. The term 1-Up can also be used to refer to obtaining an additional life.

1-Ups in Super Mario 64 can either avoid the player, making them harder to collect, stand still, or rush towards the player. In Super Mario 64 DS, they are the most common Mushroom type, as regular Mushrooms can be found as well, but are considered harder to find. Super Mario 64 DS 1-Ups function the same as the 1-Ups in Super Mario 64.

In Super Mario 64, 1-Ups can be obtained in several ways, including but not limited to:


 * Trees and poles
 * Finding them in hidden areas
 * Finding them inside of a yellow box
 * Obtaining them from butterflies
 * Collecting a ring of coins
 * Collecting multiples of 50 coins in levels.

Whomp's Fortress 1-Up
The Whomp's Fortress 1-Up is a 1-Up found by breaking a wall on the tower of Whomp's Fortress. It is considered somewhat hard to find, making some believe it is added by the Personalization A.I., though this is incorrect. However, some have reported a crack texture appearing on the wall blocking the Whomp's Fortress 1-Up, despite one not being there in standard copies.

Mushrooms can appear in Super Mario 64 in place of 1-Ups, functioning the same as 1-Ups. It is currently unknown why this happens.

Variants
There are several variants of 1-Ups that have been reported. A large 1-Up that gives 3 lives known as a 3-Up, a heart that gives a life known as a 1-Up Heart, a larger 1-Up Heart that gives 3 lives referred to as a 3-Up Heart, and a moon that gives 3 lives known as a 3-Up Moon. Notably, most of these have appeared in other Super Mario Bros. games. There have also been reports of 5-Ups, though these have been unconfirmed.
