SPD-Up

SPD-Up is a positive status effect experienced in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time and Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. It stands for Speed-Up. In the former game, by ingesting a Blue Pepper, Mario or Luigi can increase their Speed, making it more likely that they will attack before their enemies. The effect is indicated by an expanding blue circle of aura around Mario or Luigi. In the latter game, only enemies can power themselves up with this condition. Rising blue streaks signal the power-up. Bowser can also get this status ailment.
