===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]], the [[Energizer]] and [[Yoshi-Ade]] items increase the user's attack power by 50%. The [[Party Energizer]] item has the same effect on the whole party. [[Geno]] can bestow this status to the party with his [[Geno Boost]].

====''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''====
[[File:POWUp2.png|thumb|The brothers in POW-Up status in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'']]
Red Peppers appear again in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', although they affect both fighters currently active and do not give the Heavy G status. POW-Up is indicated by an expanding red circle around the character. Certain enemies can also raise their own attack power by becoming enraged (usually due to low HP), like [[Bully (Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time)|Bullies]].
 
====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''====
The POW-Up status effect also appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', with the same effects as the previous games. It can be received by [[Bowser]] if he [[Vacuum Block|inhales]] the meat seen during the second [[Midbus]] battle.
 
====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
POW-Up returns in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. By using a Gold-Guard Badge combo, Mario and Luigi can increase their attack power. This also affects enemies, which can be used by a Risk-Silver Badge combo.


In the remake, the Flower Essence item from the [[Toad Assist]] move also raises attack power for one ally.
====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====
POW-Up returns in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''. By using a POW-Up [[Battle Card (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)|Battle Card]], Mario, Luigi and [[Paper Mario (character)|Paper Mario]] can increase their attack power.

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', several items and the [[Crystal Stars|Crystal Star]] power called [[Power Lift]] can raise attack power. The "Attack is boosted!" status is indicated by an angry face above [[Mario]] or his partner. The [[Huge]] status effect also boosts attack. [[Charge (move)|Charging]] also boosts attack power for the next attack only; this is indicated by the affected character changing color repeatedly in a pulsing fashion. Enemies can have this status effect, also, by taking up a turn to charge.

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', Mario can receive a x1.5 boost in striking power for one turn by lining up all enemies. If this happens without expending all moves, Mario's attack power is doubled instead, and, in turns when all the enemies are already lined up, due to all who would not be aligned being defeated, a special message saying, "Now! Finish them off! Attack power up!" appears. Passing over a x2 Striking Power panel while fighting a boss will also double Mario's attack power. Enemies also receive a boost in power when angry, indicated by a pink and red anger symbol.

[[Red Pepper]]s boost attack power (and give the [[Heavy G]] status effect) in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and its [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|3DS remake]], giving more power to [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]'s attacks. In the original game, the status boosts POW by 50%, while in the remake it instead boosts base POW by 25% (stacking additively with other POW boosts). The status is indicated by a red burst with an arrow pointing up next to Mario and Luigi's [[Heart Point|HP]].
====''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''====
[[File:POWUp2.png|thumb|The brothers in POW-Up status in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'']]

POW-Up is indicated by an expanding red circle around the character. Certain enemies can also raise their own attack power by becoming enraged (usually due to low HP), like [[Bully (Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time)|Bullies]].
====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''====
The POW-Up status effect also appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', with the same effects as the previous games. It can be received by [[Bowser]] if he [[Vacuum Block|inhales]] the meat seen during the second [[Midbus]] battle. Additionally, if Bowser is hit too many times, he may become [[Fury|enraged]]; if this happens, he gains both this effect and [[DEF-Down]]. In the 3DS remake, bosses will get this effect alongside [[SPD-Up]] at low health, just like in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''.
====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
POW-Up returns in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. Mario and Luigi can receive it by using the combined effect of the [[Badge#Mario & Luigi: Dream Team|Gold Badge]] and the [[Badge#Mario & Luigi: Dream Team|Guard Badge]]. The combination of the [[Badge#Mario & Luigi: Dream Team|Risk Badge]] and the [[Badge#Mario & Luigi: Dream Team|Silver Badge]] does the same thing, but additionally grants it to all enemies. As the [[Secret Box]] applies a Badge effect chosen at random, it may use one of the prior effects.
Certain opponents can gain POW-Up. In the third battle against [[Kamek]], his [[Kamek (Green)|green clone]] grants the entire Kamek team stat boosting effects, possibly including POW-Up. In the final battle against [[Antasma]], he eats one or more of his [[Antasmunchie]]s to gain POW-Up. The same is true for [[Antasma X]], who eats his [[Antasmunchie X|Antasmunchies X]].
====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====
POW-Up returns in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''. By using a POW-Up [[Battle Card (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)|Battle Card]], Mario, Luigi and [[Paper Mario (character)|Paper Mario]] can increase their attack power. Additionally, bosses gain a combination of the effect and [[SPD-Up]] when their health runs low.
==== ''Mario & Luigi: Brothership'' ====
Sharpcask can gain this effect in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]'' along with [[DEF-Up]] when [[Ecks]] performs a dance, which he will once every few turns. Several [[Glohm]] enemies can also boost their POW.

In ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'' the Pow-Up status is called '''Empowered''', and is a state in which damage for weapon and movement abilities is boosted. The [[Turbocharge]] ability from the [[Spark (Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope)|Spark]] [[Starburst]] bestows this status on the user and any other allies within range for a single turn. [[Magikoopa]]s also use the Empowered ability for itself and any enemies within range; its cooldown lasting two turns.
