'''Power''' (often shortened to '''POW'''), known as '''Attack''', '''attack power''', or '''ATK''', in the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series is a stat that appears in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and every entry in the ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' series and ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series. It is used by every playable character and affects how much damage their attacks deal to enemies in battle. In certain games, enemies also use power, which decides how much damage they can inflict on the player. A higher amount of power equals a higher amount of damage, though power is also affected by the target's [[Defense]]. In the ''Paper Mario'' series, the player's power cannot be increased permanently, while in other games, it is directly increased as each character [[Level up|levels up]] and, in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', through [[Bean|Power Bean]]s. There are multiple ways of temporarily increasing power, including types of equipment, such as the [[Power Plus (badge)|Power Plus]] [[Badge]], certain abilities, such as [[Power Lift]], or certain items, such as the [[Power Punch]]. Statuses such as [[POW-Up]] or [[Huge]] (depending on the item) appear when power has been increased. Likewise, there are also ways of decreasing power: for example, [[Mini Mr. Mini]] can be used to inflict [[Tiny (status effect)|Tiny]] on enemies and conversely, several enemies have attacks that inflict [[POW-Down]] or similar statuses on the player. | '''Power''' (often shortened to '''POW'''), known as '''Attack''', '''attack power''', or '''ATK''', in the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series is a stat that appears in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and every entry in the ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' series and ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series.
