What sets 1-Up Mushrooms apart from other mushrooms in ''Mario'' media is its green cap with white spots and the fact that collecting it gives [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], or another character an extra life, or chance, known as a "1-Up," at least in the ''Super Mario'' platforming games, where they are found in certain Hidden Blocks, ? Blocks, or sometimes even Brick Blocks.

The two ''Super Mario'' platforming games for [[Game Boy]], ''[[Super Mario Land]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'', replace 1-Up Mushrooms with 1-Up Hearts because a Game Boy's four-color screen does not allow for a Super Mushroom to be properly distinguished from a 1-Up Mushroom, although a Super Mushroom is still an item in both games.

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', 1-Up Mushrooms themselves behave the same as in ''Super Mario Bros.'' and Japan's ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. Three 1-Up Mushrooms can appear in Mega ? Blocks. In the N-Mark Spade Panel's card pair-matching minigame, one of the pairs reads "1UP" but depicts an opened treasure chest instead of a 1-Up Mushroom. Regardless, if the player flips over two of these cards, Mario or Luigi earns a 1-Up.

====''Super Mario World''====
In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', 1-Up Mushrooms retain their functionality, but there are now more ways to obtain them. If Mario is riding [[Yoshi]] and hits a ? Block which Yoshi would have otherwise appeared in, a Yoshi Egg comes out instead, and it breaks open by itself to reveal a 1-Up Mushroom. A few levels have a Fishin' Lakitu, which holds a 1-Up Mushroom at the end of its fishing rod, and if Mario or Luigi obtain it, the Fishin' Lakitu begins to act like a regular Lakitu.
1-Up Mushrooms are the item rewards of the Bonus Game, which can be entered by getting either to or beyond 100 Goal Stars, which gradually up each time Mario or Luigi break through a Giant Gate's tape at the end of a level. In the Bonus Game, Mario or Luigi can earn 1-Up Mushrooms by lining up pictures of Super Mushrooms, Fire Flowers, and/or Starmen on nine blocks, eight of which continuously cycle between a Super Mushroom, a Fire Flower, or a Starman, in the manner of slots in gambling. At the end of the minigame, each vertical, horizontal, and diagonal match of three images causes 1-Up Mushrooms to appear from the pipe. The highest number of 1-Up Mushrooms that can be obtained is eight, which occurs if all nine pictures depict the same power-up item.
1-Up Mushrooms are the focus of 1-Up Chambers, which are hidden areas found in certain levels. Within each floor are three ? Blocks, and only one of them contains a 1-Up Mushroom, which is randomized each time the area is accessed. The player has to guess which O/X Block (which appear as ? Blocks at first) has the 1-Up Mushroom and have Mario or Luigi jump at one of the three. If the correct O/X Block is selected, a 1-Up Mushroom emerges from it. However, if either of the other two are hit, every ? Block on that row turns brown, and no 1-Up Mushroom is rewarded for that row.

In ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', a 1-Up Mushroom is a restorative item that Mario or Luigi can use on the other Mario brother if he has lost all of his health and therefore inflicted with the KO status. A 1-Up Mushroom gets rid of their KO status and revitalizes them with half their HP (health points) restored. This effect would be retained in later ''Mario & Luigi'' installments. Mario or Luigi can buy 1-Up Mushrooms at certain stores for 80 coins each.

There is a more powerful variation of a 1-Up Mushroom, the [[1-Up Super]], which not only revives a KO'd bro but also fully restores both his HP and BP (Bros. Points).
