A '''3-Up Moon''' is an item that first appears in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. It is a yellow crescent moon that has a happy facial expression. Being an extremely rare item, the 3-Up Moon functions very similarly to the [[1-Up Mushroom]], but true to its name, it rewards the player with three [[extra life|extra lives]] instead of one when collected.
==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario World'' / ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2''====
[[File:3-Up Moon SMW artwork.jpg|100px|thumb|Original design of a 3-Up Moon, from ''Super Mario World'']]
The locations of the 3-Up Moons in ''Super Mario World'' and [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|its reissue]] are as follows. If the player replays the [[level]], the moon disappears from where it was until the game is reset. Most but not all 3-Up Moons are accessible only if [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] is utilizing his [[Cape Mario|Cape form]].
*[[Yoshi's Island 1]] &ndash; On a [[Cloud Block]] near the middle of the stage, up to the left of the row of Cloud Blocks and a [[block]] containing a 1-Up Mushroom.
*[[Donut Plains 4]] &ndash; On a Cloud Block above the [[Galoomba|Goomba]] area, near the item block.
*[[Vanilla Dome 3]] &ndash; On a ledge above the area with the hidden [[Cape Feather|feather]] block.
*[[Cheese Bridge Area]] &ndash; Between the regular exit and the secret exit. Mario or Luigi must use the Cape or [[jump]] off a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] to get it.
*[[Forest Ghost House]] &ndash; In the exit screen of the secret exit, just before the player exits the stage.
*[[Chocolate Island 1]] &ndash; On a Cloud Block above the first bowl-shaped valley area (Mario or Luigi must take the first [[Pipe Cannon]]).
*[[Valley of Bowser 1]] &ndash; Beyond an area with [[Muncher]]s, above the place where Mario or Luigi starts from after touching the [[Midway Gate]].
Additionally, the moon seen in [[Star World]] resembles a 3-Up Moon.

====''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
In Japan, players with an [[e-Reader]] could scan the [[1UP Kinoko ga 3UP Moon ni kawaru!|blue switch card]] to replace 1-Up Mushrooms with 3-Up Moons in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. A 3-Up Moon is also hidden in the [[World-e]] level [[Slip Slidin' Away (Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3)|Slip Slidin' Away]], and it can be reached only if the player is equipped with a flight power-up.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
3-Up Moons reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]] and [[New Super Luigi U]]''. They are found within [[3-Up Moon Block]]s, and a total of four 3-Up Moons can appear from each (depending on how many players are playing). They can appear only by using [[Boost Mode]]; tapping a 3-Up Moon Block on the [[Wii U]] GamePad screen makes it visible for players to hit.

In the [[Nintendo Switch]] port of the games, ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'', with Boost Mode removed from the original game, 3-Up Moon Blocks were also removed. The 3-Up Moons instead replace 1-Up Mushrooms within blocks if [[Toadette]] hits them, although other players can still collect the 3-Up Moons when released. In ''New Super Luigi U'' exclusively, the red [[Toad House]]s have 1-Up Mushrooms replaced by 3-Up Moons.

===''Game & Watch Gallery 4''===
In ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 4]]'', 3-Up Moons appear in the Modern version of ''[[Fire (Game & Watch)|Fire]]'', where they come out of [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi Egg]]s and give multiple [[point]]s when bounced. 3-Up Moons also appear in the Modern version of ''[[Rain Shower]]'', where they are caught to fill a meter that, when filled, causes [[Bowser]] to fall and gives the player points. This is the only game where they do not have mouths.

===''Mario's Game Gallery'' / ''Mario's FUNdamentals''===
In ''Mario's Game Gallery'' and ''[[Mario's FUNdamentals]]'', the 3-Up Moon appears in the Dominoes game, representing the number two.

===''Super Mario-kun''===

[[File:3Up Mario.jpg|thumb|3UP Mario]]
The 3-Up Moon appears in ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', starting from [[Super Mario-kun Volume 2|volume 2]]. It serves a different purpose, powering up Mario rather than granting him three extra lives. In the second volume, Mario is transformed into [[3UP Mario|Moon Mario]], and in the third volume, he is transformed into 3UP Mario.
