Little has changed in the behavior of these mushrooms in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' when compared to ''Super Mario Bros.'' However, they can be obtained by collecting a [[Mega Mushroom]] and destroying a certain number of objects in the player's path. When this action is completed, a number of 1-Up Mushrooms will fall from the sky, determined by the amount in the meter at the top of the screen (up to 5 1-Up Mushrooms can be earned this way). They can also be obtained by getting all the [[Red Coin]]s from [[Red Ring]]s when in [[Fire Mario|Fire]] or [[Shell Mario|Shell form]].

1-Up Mushrooms appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 35]]'' in the same locations as in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' Since there were no lives in this game, the mushrooms gave 20 coins instead, the price to use the Item Roulette once. The Hidden Blocks containing 1-Up Mushrooms were always present, without having to meet any unlocking conditions, and would reappear if the same course was played more than once in the same match.

[[Prince Florian]] gives the player five 1-Up Mushrooms after receiving a [[Game Over]]. [[Flower coin]]s can be used to buy 1-Up Mushrooms in all [[Poplin Shop]]s except the secret Poplin Shop in [[Sunbaked Desert]]. There are three different sets that contain a varying amount of 1-Up Mushrooms: A single one, a set of five, and a set of 99, which cost 5, 20, and 300 flower coins respectively. The set of 99 is only available after clearing [[The Final Battle! Bowser's Rage Stage]].

In ''[[Hotel Mario]]'', 1-Up Mushrooms are referred to as '''Toads''',<ref>"''If Fire Mario opens a door with a '''Super Mushroom''' behind it, the mushroom turns into '''TOAD''', an Extra Mario Mushroom. He gives Mario an extra life.''" - ''Hotel Mario'' instruction book.

A Toad flees faster than a Super Mushroom, and will instead reward the player with an extra life, same as in past games.
