It raises the Attack and Defense of Mario and his current partner for three turns, using up 3 [[Star Power (Paper Mario)|SP]]. The success of the [[Action Command]] determines the amount of points each stat is raised by. It cannot be used if Mario has the [[Allergic]] status effect.

The Action Command involves a 3x3 grid of panels that periodically appear and disappear. There are three types of panels: red arrows, blue arrows, and [[Poison Mushroom]]s. The player controls a cursor with the {{button|gcn|Stick}}, which can be moved up, down, left, and right, with the goal being to press {{button|gcn|A}} while the cursor is on arrow panels. Doing so partially fills a gauge of the same color, with five arrows being needed to fill it completely. Every time a gauge is filled, one point will be added to the matching stat once the move is over - red arrows boost attack, while blue ones boost defense. Pressing a Poison Mushroom drastically slows down the cursor's movement speed for a short time, making it harder to collect arrows.
To use the move, Mario must have the [[Gold Star]], which is obtained at the end of Chapter 3. The Action Command involves a 9-square grid in which red Attack arrows, blue Defense arrows, and [[Poison Mushroom]]s appear periodically. The player has a limited amount of time (which is not shown) to move a cursor up, down, left and right with the Control Stick, and press A to select as many arrows as possible. Each arrow only lasts a few seconds. Each arrow adds an amount to gauge. Every time a gauge fills completely, one point is added to the respective stat (Attack or Defense) If the player hits a Poison Mushroom square, the cursor moves at half speed for a while, which is obviously a negative effect.
 
 
In [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|the remake]], only four arrows are needed to complete a gauge, rather than five. This results in a higher average boost, with a boost of 4 to both stats being the maximum.

Power Lift is a Special Move that can be used by Mario in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. It raises the Attack and Defense of Mario and his current partner for three turns and requires 3 SP to use. The success of the Action Command determines the number of points each stat is raised by. To use the move, Mario must have the Gold Star, which is obtained at the end of Chapter 3.

The Action Command involves a 3x3 grid of panels that periodically appear and disappear. There are three types of panels: red arrows, blue arrows, and Poison Mushrooms. The player controls a cursor with the Control Stick, which can be moved up, down, left, and right, with the goal being to press A Button while the cursor is on arrow panels. Doing so partially fills a gauge of the same color, with five arrows being needed to fill it completely. Every time a gauge is filled, one point will be added to the matching stat once the move is over - red arrows boost attack, while blue ones boost defense. Pressing a Poison Mushroom drastically slows down the cursor's movement speed for a short time, making it harder to collect arrows.

In the remake, only four arrows are needed to complete a gauge, rather than five. This results in a higher average boost, with a boost of 4 to both stats being the maximum.
