In all of its appearances, the 1-Up resembles or otherwise contains bold white text which reads "1UP". Starting with ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and consistently since ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'', its current appearance also includes a glowing aura and a replica of [[Kirby]] (or sometimes another character) behind the text.

1-Ups can be obtained in a variety of ways which can differ between games, or may simply be found out in the open in stages, though they are often tucked away in difficult-to-reach or hidden places. 1-Ups are also rewarded by collecting a prerequisite number of [[Point Star]]s (100 in modern titles) in games which feature them. They are also usually found hidden behind [[Star Block]]s in [[HAL Room]]s. Most ''Kirby'' games tend to be fairly generous with 1-Ups, to the point where a skilled player can amass many tens or hundreds throughout a playthrough. This is usually counterbalanced by the fact that the number of extra lives is reset when the main game is exited (though this does not happen in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''). For details on what happens when the player runs out of extra lives, see the [[Game Over]] page.

===''Kirby's Block Ball''===
===''Kirby's Block Ball''===
In ''[[Kirby's Block Ball]]'', Kirby starts each level with five extra lives. More can be earned for every 50,000 points obtained in the level, by hitting every Star Block in the Target-Shooting stages or by playing the [[Sub-Game]]s accessible via [[Warp Star]] in each level (details on thresholds for 1-Up bonuses can be found on the [[Up Cloud]], [[Up Down]], [[Star Catcher]], and [[Air Hockey]] pages). unlike most other titles, Kirby does not keep any extra lives after completing a level, instead exchanging each one for 1000 extra points.

===''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror''===
===''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror''===
In ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'', Kirby begins with three extra lives. More can be earned by finding them scattered throughout stages, opening specific [[Treasure Chest]]s, or occasionally getting them as a gift from other Kirbys when calling them on the [[Cell Phone]]. Kirby can also get a 1-Up if he lands on it on the [[Magic]] [[Copy Ability]]'s roulette wheel.

===''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' and subsequent 2D main-series games until ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe''===
In ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' and all the following main-series games up to ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', Kirby begins with eight extra lives, and more can be collected by finding them in stages, by collecting 100 Point Stars, or through the [[Goal Game]].

In ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' and all the following 2D main-series games up to ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'', Kirby begins with eight extra lives, and more can be collected by finding them in stages, by collecting 100 Point Stars, or through the [[Goal Game]].


In ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', when an ally joins the game, an extra life is subtracted from the total (unless it is already zero). In that game's [[Extra Mode]], 1-Ups get a small crown added onto the head of the Kirby figurine.
In ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' and ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'', when another player joins the game, an extra life is subtracted from the total (unless it is currently zero, in which the chosen character starts with half of their health). In that game's [[Extra Mode]], 1-Ups get a small crown added onto the head of the Kirby figurine.


In ''Kirby Star Allies'', the extra life counter in Story Mode does not reset with the game. Obtaining 1000 extra lives places a crown on Kirby's stock icon.
In ''Kirby Star Allies'' and ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'', the extra life counter in Story Mode does not reset with the game. Obtaining the max number of lives (999 and 99, respectively) places a crown on Kirby's stock icon.


===''Kirby and the Rainbow Curse''===
===''Kirby and the Rainbow Curse''===
In ''[[Kirby and the Rainbow Curse]]'', Kirby begins with six extra lives. More can be collected in stages, by collecting 100 Point Stars, or through the [[Goal Game]]. Collecting a 1-Up in a stage also awards 500 points.

The extra life counter in Story Mode does not reset with the game.


An aspect unique to this title is that players have the option to skip stages they are having too much trouble with. This can be done if four or more lives are lost on the stage in question.

===''Kirby Fighters 2''===
===''Kirby Fighters 2''===
1-Ups themselves do not feature in ''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]'', nor is there an extra life system for most of the game's content. However, Kirby is given three lives in the Final Chapter of [[Story Mode: The Destined Rivals]]. Unlike in other games, there is no way to increase the number of lives in this case, meaning that Kirby and his buddy have three tries to complete the final chapter.

==Trivia==
[[File:Eggerland FDS Power Earned sound effect.mp3|thumb|An example of the sound effect that plays in the ''Eggerland'' series when gaining a power, here taken from the 1987 Famicom Disk System port of ''Eggerland 2''. Later versions of the sound effect were transposed to essentially the same pitch as the ''Kirby'' 1-Up jingle.]]
*The 1-Up jingle strongly resembles a sound effect that plays in the ''Eggerland'' series of games, from the Famicom Disk System port of ''Eggerland 2'' onwards, when [[Lololo & Lalala#Trivia|Lolo or Lala]] gains a Power after obtaining a certain number of Heart Framers. The ''Eggerland'' sound effect begins more elaborately but ends in the same way as the ''Kirby'' jingle.
**The version of the 1-Up jingle used in ''Kirby Mass Attack'' (for adding a Kirby to the team) follows a separate jingle for obtaining 100 [[fruit]] points, which repeatedly rolls up a major chord in the same key as the 1-Up jingle. The combination of the two strengthens the resemblance to the ''Eggerland'' sound effect.
**The principal sound composer for the ''Eggerland'' games was Hideki Kanazashi, a key figure in defining the sound of HAL Laboratory's games as they began to flourish on the Famicom/NES. Kanazashi left the company sometime around 1990, after a handful of overlapping projects with his junior, [[Jun Ishikawa]].
