Powerup Full-Color Change: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

So, our heroes are fighting with [[The Dragon]]. The [[Action Girl]] activates her [[Limit Break]] and starts glowing violet. The [[Smart Guy]] unleash his [[Dangerous Forbidden Technique]] and becomes all covered in green light. Their combined attack badly damages [[The Dragon]], but in response, he [[Turns Red]] - literally, as his transformation changes all his colors to red. But fear not! [[The Hero]] enters [[Super Mode]] with his body turning all gold from awesome power and is ready to unleash it all to deliver the final blow...

It very often overlaps with [[Power Glows]], especially in [[Super Robot]] shows, but there are cases of one that does not require the another.

 

 

{{examples}}

** And ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'' has the Trans-Am system, which triples the machine's abilities while also turning it bright red.

* ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' uses it too, a few times.

* In ''[[One Piece]]'', when Luffy uses Gear 2nd, his skin color becomes pink.

* ''[[Naruto]]'''s eponymous character has [[Rule of Three|three]] (so far, anyway). His eyes are blue in the normal mode, turn red in [[Super Mode]] No. 1, and Orange in [[Super Mode]] No. 2. {{spoiler|His whole body turns [[Golden Super Mode|gold]] in [[Super Mode]] No. 3}}.

** ''[[Kamen Rider Kuuga]]'' started it. ''[[Kamen Rider Black RX]]'' may have begun form-changing in its current form, but ''he'' got ''total'' redesigns. Kuuga gets a rainbow of colors and only a few small design changes.

** With ''[[Kamen Rider Kiva]],'' only his chest and the limb that holds the weapon change color.

** The red-and-black [[Kamen Rider Faiz]] goes all-black with white accents for Accel Form and all-red with black accents for Blaster Form.

** From ''[[Kamen Rider Double]]'', ''half'' of Double's suit changes, as he's made of two guys and each has access to (initially) three forms. The different forms affect each other so that the same power will be wielded in different ways (for example, Joker makes it so that a power is applied to the body. Trigger has a gun. Luna Joker has stretchy limbs. Luna Trigger does ''not,'' but the shots from the Trigger Magnum will bend to hunt down targets.)

** ''[[Kamen Rider OOO]]'' has different forms for head, body, and legs, seeming to be the writers saying "if two was cool, three is better!" However, Eiji's leg form won't do something different depending on his head form. He must still decide which three powers complement each other best and are right for the job. Three of the ''same'' color is extremely powerful, but extremely taxing.

 

* In ''[[Super Robot Wars]] J'', [[Martian Successor Nadesico|Akito and Gai]]'s mechas turn gold when they use their team-up attack.

* When consuming a [[Invincibility Power-Up|star]], [[Super Mario Bros.|Mario]] flashes in all different colours.

* A variation of this: in ''[[Caster]]'', the protagonist appears in a certain colour depending on the currently selected spell.

* In ''[[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'', there is a magic ring that reduces damage. It also changes Link's clothes from green to light blue. An even better ring makes them red.

* In ''[[Kid Icarus]]'', Pit changes colors as he levels up.

* Princess Shroob from ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'' literally turns red halfway through the battle.
