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.

In Japan, players with an e-Reader could scan the blue switch card to replace 1-Up Mushrooms with 3-Up Moons in Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3.

3-Up Moons reappear in New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U. They are found within 3-Up Moon Blocks, 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 Houses have 1-Up Mushrooms replaced by 3-Up Moons.
