1-up (also called 1UP, 1-UP, XUP; pronounced “one-up”) is a gaming term that succeeds the player-character’s gained extra life, allowing ongoing play before game over. Because there are no general game guidelines, specific 1-ups range enormously from game to game. However, they are incredibly often exceptional and difficult what to acquire, occasionally demanding the player to show significant skill or associated risk an unnecessary fatality.
In certain game titles, you’ll be able to acquire multiple extra lives simultaneously. At these times, the amount of extra lives obtained sometimes changes the notification from “1UP” to a version that reflects the full total lives received: two lives would be “2UP”, five lives would be “5UP”, etc. Video games that don’t follow this guideline often simply duplicate the “1-up” notification in quick succession concurrent with the amount of lives awarded.
