Mario and Luigi having the POW-UP status condition.

POW-Up is a positive status condition that has appeared in several Mario RPGs. It stands for "Power-Up".

History

Mario & Luigi series

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga

Red Peppers boost attack power in this game, giving more power to Mario and Luigi's attacks. The status is indicated by a red burst with an arrow pointing up next to the Mario brother's HP.

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time

POW-Up

Red Peppers appear again in this game, although they affect both fighters currently active. POW-Up is indicated by an expanding red circle around the attacker. Certain enemies can also raise their own attack power by becoming enraged (usually due to low HP).

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story

Red streaks flowing upward indicate the affected.

Paper Mario series

Paper Mario

Watt's ability, Turbo Charge, can increase Mario's power by 1 for one to four turns. Also, some enemies can charge their power.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

In this game, several items and the 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. Charging also boosts attack power for the next attack only; this is indicated by the affected character changing colour repeatedly in a pulsing fashion. Enemies can have this status effect, also, by taking up a turn to charge.
