A 1-Up[1][2][3], also formatted as 1 Up[4][5] and also known as an Extra Life, is a popular video game item made famous by the original Super Mario Bros. It rewards Kirby (or the playable character) with an extra life, or another chance to complete a level, stage, or game that they would otherwise not be able to after exhausting all previous lives. In the Kirby series, earning 1-Ups varies in difficulty, but resetting the game will usually reset the number of extra lives the player has. If Kirby loses all his extra lives, the player gets a Game Over. In most games, 1-Ups depict Kirby with the text "1up" written on him.
Game appearances
In the first game in the series - Kirby's Dream Land - 1-Ups were rather uncommon, and could only be found in specific locations in short quantities. They were displayed in-game merely as flashing text that spelled out 1-Up which could be collected.
Starting with Kirby's Adventure, and carrying on to most titles since then, 1-Ups can be earned in Sub-Games and Goal Games, making them much more readily accessible. If the player is at least decently skilled, they should have no problem retaining a healthy supply of extra lives in most cases.
Starting with Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, 1-Ups were redesigned to resemble the characters which collected them, with the standard being a small replica of Kirby with the 1-Up text in white in front of it. When another game mode is played, such as Meta Knightmare, the 1-Up will be styled after that character instead.
In Kirby's Return to Dream Land, an extra life is spent every time another character joins in during a stage. Characters can still join in however if there are no lives remaining, meaning this mechanic can only really serve to endanger Kirby should he then get KO'd during the adventure.
