3UP Mario, also referred to asMoon Mario, is a formMario assumes exclusively inSuper Mario-kun. It is acquired when Mario collects a3-Up Moon, which would instead grant him threeextra lives inSuper Mario World.

Involume 2 chapter 2, Mario becomes Moon Mario and uses this form to defeat theMekakuppa via using invincibility against the robot's lasers and taking aCape Feather from theItem Stock, which he then uses to tickle the Mekakuppa to death.

Involume 3 chapter 3, Mario grabs the 3-Up Moon and becomes 3UP Mario to defeatMetto Oyakata with a fire kick, launching it into the powder magazine and exploding the entire underground in the process.

Involume 6 chapter 10,Ultra Pukupuku sends Mario flying into a rock, where he finds a 3-Up Moon, becomes 3UP Mario, and uses the moon as a fishing hook and a lightning rod as the wire to trap Ultra Pukupuku and shrink it, thereby defeating it.

Involume 47 chapter 4,Mini Mario is tossed against a wall by the enlargedBoom Boom. In the wall, Mario finds a 3-Up Moon and uses it to defeat Boom Boom using the Moon on his cap to hit and shrink him.
