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.

* 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.
