The gaming term for a temporary increase in power, speed, or other abilities is commonly called a "Power-up." This term originated in classic games like Super Mario Bros., where players collect items that temporarily enhance their abilities. Another commonly used term is "Buff," which typically refers to a temporary boost to a character's stats or abilities in more modern games. Additionally, "Boost" is also used to describe such temporary enhancements. To summarize:
- Power-up: An object or item that provides temporary benefits or abilities to the player character, often immediate and temporary.
- Buff: A temporary boost or enhancement to a player's abilities or stats.
- Boost: A term used similarly to describe temporary increases in attributes like power or speed.
These terms are often used interchangeably depending on the game and context, but "Power-up" is the most universally recognized term for such temporary increases in gaming.
