The 1 Up Fever is a 2013 mockumentary about the first usage of the Bitcoin cryptocurrency and the release of an augmented reality smartphone-based video game inspired by the Super Mario Bros. platform game. The movie was shot in the city of Berlin and after its web release on August 2, 2013, it became a small case among the Bitcoin community and between augmented reality video game developers.[1][2]

The documentary had its European Premiere at Cineglobe Film Festival du CERN, now Geneva International Film Festival Tous Ecrans, where it won the Audience Favourite Documentary prize[3] and its North American premiere at the Silicon Valley Science Fiction Short Film Festival.[4][5] The movie was also named and shown as a nominee in many other film festivals.[6][7]
