'''3UP Mario''', also referred to as '''Moon Mario''', is a form [[Mario]] assumes exclusively in ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. It is acquired when Mario collects a [[3-Up Moon]], which would instead grant him three [[extra life|extra lives]] in ''[[Super Mario World]]''.

In this form, Mario gains a crescent moon on his [[Mario Cap|cap]]. Whereas Moon Mario has a large moon centered on his hat's "M", 3UP Mario's moon is more inclined, smaller, and can be detached and thrown at enemies.

In [[Super Mario-kun Volume 2|volume 2]] chapter 2, Mario becomes Moon Mario and uses this form to defeat the [[Mekakuppa]] via using invincibility against the robot's lasers and taking a [[Cape Feather]] from the [[item storage|Item Stock]], which he then uses to tickle the Mekakuppa to death.

In [[Super Mario-kun Volume 3|volume 3]] chapter 3, Mario grabs the 3-Up Moon and becomes 3UP Mario to defeat [[Metto Oyakata]] with a fire kick, launching it into the powder magazine and exploding the entire underground in the process.

In [[Super Mario-kun Volume 6|volume 6]] chapter 10, [[Ultra Pukupuku]] sends Mario flying into a rock, where he finds a 3-Up Moon, becomes 3UP Mario, and uses the moon as a fishing hook and a lightning rod as the wire to trap Ultra Pukupuku and shrink it, thereby defeating it.

In [[Super Mario-kun Volume 12|volume 12]], another [[3UP Mario (Super Mario-kun Volume 12)|3UP Mario]] variation appears. This time, it is not a transformation derived from the 3-Up Moon, but by obtaining three extra lives from the ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'' slot machine. With this, Mario summons three clones of himself.

In [[Super Mario-kun Volume 47|volume 47]] chapter 4, [[Mini Mario]] is tossed against a wall by the enlarged [[Boom Boom]]. In the wall, Mario finds a 3-Up Moon and uses it to defeat Boom Boom using the Moon on his cap to hit and shrink him.
