The most likely reason that 1 UP Hearts are used in these games rather than 1-Up Mushrooms is that the monochrome palette of the original Game Boy would make it impossible to distinguish between 1-Up Mushrooms and [[Super Mushroom]]s.

1UP hearts make their first appearance in ''Super Mario Land''. When a 1 UP Heart is released from jumping under a [[? Block|Mystery Block]] or [[Brick Block]], it flies out before falling straight down. Unlike [[Super Mushroom]]s, they fall through the ground until [[Mario]] grabs it in time before disappearing.

In ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'', the 1-Up Heart moves like a 1-Up Mushroom and slides right unless Mario can quickly catch it. 1-Up Hearts can also be caught by a [[Keipu]], who then runs away with them. In [[Goal (Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins)|bonus game]]s that occur if Mario rings the [[Bell (Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins)|bell]] placed hanging in the air at the end of a stage, 1-Up Hearts become available prizes; in the Crane Game and Ladder Game, [[3UP Heart]]s exclusively appear in the Crane Game and give three extra lives. Stand-alone 1 UP Hearts can be found in some levels.

In ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'' on the [[Game Boy]], 1 UP Hearts float in midair at spots that are hard to reach without special moves. They reappear if the player loses a life and revisits the level. They appear slightly larger and have a "1 UP" logo on them.
