History

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
Red Peppers appear again in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, 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).

The POW-Up status effect also appears in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story.
Paper Mario series
Paper Mario
In 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 Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, 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.
