  • 1UP is a gaming website owned by IGN. It is named after an item(a) that grants a "extra" life by raising the total by 1, hence 1-up. Like other gaming websites, it has information on Nintendo DS and Wii games. 1UP was once the online hub for various Ziff Davis video game magazines such as Electronic Gaming Monthly before the publications were discontinued. EGM has since made a comeback, though through another manufacturer. This article is a stub. You can help the Nintendo Wiki by expanding it.
  • The extra life has the appearance of a small Firebrand. It is named Talisman of the Cyclone in Gargoyle's Quest and Power of Maelstrom in Gargoyle's Quest II. In Japanese games both are named Power of Darkness (闇の力 Yami no Chikara). They can be bought in towns, but the further Firebrand advances in the game, the more Vials it takes to buy them, towns sharing the same price. They can also be found in some vials on the overhead view map and in some stages.
  • A 1UP (may be spelled many ways; also called an extra life) is an item that appears in almost every Kirby game (and is also a common item in most video games). It gives Kirby an extra life when collected and gives the player an extra chance to beat the game. If Kirby loses a life, his life count goes down by 1, and he must restart the stage from the beginning; losing all of them results in a game over, and he must start the level over again. As these items can be very useful, they are usually hidden, or in places that may cost a life to get to. They may also be rewarded to the player for doing well at a sub-game or completing a specific task in the game.

They may also be rewarded to the player for doing well at a sub-game or completing a specific task in the game. The existence of 1UPs to characters has since been verified in Kirby Super Star and its remake, where (had the player gone into the correct room) Mace Knight has been revealed to have hoarded them (and a lot of food) within the Halberd, to which Captain Vul then comments upon (although in Kirby Super Star, Mace Knight only mentions tomatoes).
