Video games have lots of powerups. Some make you stronger. Some make you faster. And some make you get stronger faster.
A meta powerup doesn't add to the combat ability of a character. It does make improvements go farther. Maybe it increases the number of skill or ability points that you get. Maybe it makes short-term powerups last longer. Whatever it is, it doesn't power you up, it powers up whatever powers you up.
Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Some varieties are:

Experience Booster, for when it increases the Experience Points that you get.
Item Amplifier: Makes items better.
Money Multiplier, for increasing money gain.
Random Drop Booster, for when the rate that items are dropped from enemies.
Despite the name, it has little to do with having powers over the Fourth Wall or outright Author Powers. Compare Meta Power, a trope dealing with superpowers that influence or impact other superpowers.

In Final Fantasy VII, there's equipment that can double or triple AP gain. AP is used to improve Materia, which enhance your characters.

Some of the microtransaction items in Battlefield Heroes increase earnable points.

Paper Mario has Double Dip and Triple Dip, which, like the Glutton Ring, allow Mario to use multiple items at once. Double Dip returned in The Thousand Year Door; wearing two of it had the same effect as wearing Triple Dip.

Final Fantasy X has weapon properties that double and triple the AP gain of the wielder and one which converts Overdrive gained into APnote (which stacks with Double/Triple Overdrive for insane results). There are also armor properties which increase item strength.

In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, there are a lot of examples, such as gear to make attacked enemies drop items when hit.

Final Fantasy VIII had GF abilities that affected stat gains. You could theoretically wait to gain levels until you had the maximum level in said abilities, causing your character to grow by leaps and bounds.
