| | 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 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.

| − | 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. | + | 1-Up Mushrooms are the focus of 1-Up Chambers, which are hidden areas found in certain levels.
