What does 1-Up mean in video games?

This content has been automatically translated from Ukrainian.
1-Up this is an extra life in video games (usually). 1-Up comes from older arcade video games and is also used in more modern games. 1-Up is a type of bonus that gives the player an extra life or a chance to continue the game after losing or losing a life.
When a player gets 1-Up, their number of lives increases by one. This means that after death, the player can use 1-Up to revive and continue the game from where they lost or last saved the game. 1-Up can be represented as a token, coin, heart, or any other symbol denoting an extra life.
In some games, the player can collect many 1-Up, allowing them to have more lives and increasing their chances of success in the game. In other cases, 1-Up may be a rare or limited resource, making its acquisition more valuable.
1-Up is one way video game developers allow players to withstand the challenges of the game, allowing them to make a little mistake but continue playing without having to start over.
A good example that many people are familiar with is the green mushroom from Mario, which is the same 1-UP.

Overall, 1-Up reflects the player's ability to gain an extra life and continue the game, giving them additional chances to win.
