'''1 UP Hearts'''<ref>''Game Boy Donkey Kong'' English instruction booklet, page 16.</ref> (or '''1UP hearts''' <ref>''Super Mario Land'' English instruction booklet, page 8.</ref>) basically perform the same function as [[1-Up Mushroom]]s, awarding one [[Extra Life]] to the player in ''[[Super Mario Land]]'', ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'' on the [[Game Boy]]. Most likely, the reason 1 UP Hearts are used in these games rather than 1-Up Mushrooms is that the black-and-white palette of the original Game Boy would make it impossible to distinguish between 1-Up Mushrooms and [[Super Mushroom]]s.

Unlike most [[Mushroom]]s, in ''Super Mario Land'', a 1 UP Heart will remain in one place until [[Mario]] grabs it. However, in ''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'', the 1 UP Heart moves like the 1-Up Mushroom and slides away from Mario unless he can quickly catch it. Also in ''Super Mario Land 2'', the 1 UP Hearts can be caught by [[Pumpkin Zone]]'s [[Sabāsa|witch]] boss, who then runs away from Mario with them. In this appearance, some 1 UP Hearts actually contain 3 UP.
