A video game trope, mostly related to Platform Games.
A Power-Up Mount is sort of like a power-up item plus Mon. It is an animal (usually adorable) that the main character can ride on. Riding on a power-up mount usually does one or more of the following:
Grants another hit point in the case of a One-Hit-Point Wonder. Usually, getting hit while on it will kill it or cause it to flee.
Gives the player an alternate means of travel. Faster running, flight, gliding, digging, climbing, riding on lava, and swimming are all typical examples.
Gives the player a new means of attack related to the steed: long tongue for lizards, fire for dragons, boxing gloves for kangaroos, and so on.
Will overlap with Horse of a Different Color.

Disgaea Dimension 2 replaces the Magichange system of the previous titles with this, allowing a humanoid unit to ride on a monster unit's back or shoulders to boost their performance and enable the use of a Combination Attack. Naturally, it looks a little awkward when done with one of the humanoid monsters like the Succubus or Nekomata...

The animal buddies in Little Nemo: The Dream Master. Some of them had added a touch of Nightmare Fuel, since in many cases, Nemo would ride them by crawling into their mouth, giving the appearance of wearing their skin.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow has four kinds of mounts available: Swamp Troll, Giant Spider, Warg, and Pan (Using a horse form), the former three being enemies that are encountered many times during the story, but that can only be mounted after getting the Spiked Chain upgrade, and Pan, who is ridable only in the second mission of the game. When mounting enemies, they are invincible, and can (and must) be used to completely thrash other enemies and help Gabriel cross certain obstacles that he couldn't cross on his own, and like the above example, after using them, Gabriel kills them.

Downplayed with Yoshi in Super Mario Galaxy 2. Yoshi can flutter jump,note the key to a Good Bad Bug that breaks the game in interesting ways, use his tongue as a hook to swing over wide bottomless pits and to eat enemies, and transform into Dash/Light/Balloon forms as power-ups. However, this is one of the few Mario games in which Yoshi does not provide an extra hit point at all, so taking a hit will result in both Mario/Luigi losing a health wedge/life, and Yoshi fleeing.

Guild Wars 2 includes mounts in the Path of Fire expansion, giving players access to a leaping Raptor, a jumping Springer, a floating Skimmer and a teleporting Jackal. In addition to giving the player travel options, they also provide unique engage skills, giving players new opportunities to open a battle with enemies.

The Crash Bandicoot games produced by Naughty Dog have one such animal per game, with two levels in each game dedicated entirely to riding them through their respective obstacle courses (an unnamed wild boar in Crash Bandicoot, Polar the polar bear in Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back, and Pura the tiger, along with a baby T-Rex in Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped). The Toys for Bob-developed Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time features the return of Polar as well as a baby alien called a Shnurgle.

The many animal buddies from the Donkey Kong Country series that are acquired by breaking crates. The most famous are Rambi the Rhino for land stages, and Enguarde the Swordfish for underwater levels. In comparison, DK: Jungle Climber inverts the trope. Diddy Kong is a power-up RIDER that Donkey Kong can launch off of his back to hit enemies from afar. He also gets an extra hit point out of the deal.

Wario Land II and 3 both feature a large owl with which Wario can hitch a ride, usually through aerial mazes of spikes or other obstacles. The owl itself does not appear to be an entirely willing participant, however; it's usually found sleeping (unless encountered during the night in 3), only taking to the air when rudely awakened by Wario.

Rush from the Mega Man (Classic) series is Mega Man's trusty Robot Dog who, throughout the games, served as a spring board, a jet sled, a mini-submarine, three types of Powered Armor, a digging tool, a motorcycle, and a space capsule. Most of his forms have provided their own weapon, or altered Mega Man's Arm Cannon.

The second game of the Hero of Sparta series allows you to use larger enemies, like minotaurs or the Cretan bull, as mounts. By executing a grabbing move, you then leap on their shoulders, drives your sword on their backs, and use your weapon to manipulate them into attacking other enemies.

Kirby:
Kirby's Dream Land 2 adds Animal Buddies that can aid with Kirby's Copy Abilities and movement. Rick, Kine, and Coo are a hamster, sunfish, and owl respectively. Kirby's Dream Land 3 brings three new Animal Buddies to the mix: Nago, a cat that rolls Kirby around, ChuChu, an octopus on Kirby's head; and Pitch, a bird he can ride, then throw for long-distance attacks.
Kirby can ride King Dedede in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, allowing the player to break walls with his hammer.
The Helper Wheelie in Kirby Super Star Ultra: If Kirby splits off the Wheel power, the Wheelie it creates has a cowling and handlebars (unlike every other Wheelie in the game), and Kirby will ride it if he jumps on top. If you're playing two-player mode, Player Two (the helper) will control the motion, and Player One (Kirby) can fire short-range stars at enemies; otherwise, the player will control the motion but be unable to shoot stars.
In Kirby's Return to Dream Land, it's possible for Kirby and friends to ride each other, which allows them to utilize a Combination Attack when all four of them are stacked up in a tower. There's also a more traditional example with the dragon Landia, who serves as a mount for an Unexpected Shmup Level.

The horse Pokemon Glastrier and Spectrier in Pokémon Sword and Shield have their own unique powers that can be imparted upon their rider. They're too small for a human to ride, unlike Mudsdale, but they're the perfect size and shape for local Legendary Pokemon Calyrex — and uniquely to them, their ability is added to Calyrex's own instead of overwriting it, grouped under "As One".

The Golden Axe series has always featured rideable animals called Bizzarians. The Remake made this the entire point of the game.

Metal Slug has these feature prominently enough to be named after one - granted, most of these are adorable military vehicles, but the series features ridable animals from time to time, ranging from camel to elephant to donkey. The notable difference between vehicles and animals is that animals are technically indestructible, but the player can still be killed while riding them; vehicles, on the other hand, will explode after taking three hits.

A rare enemy example comes in the form of Ostro and Autobomb in Super Mario Bros. 2, who are ridden by Shy Guys and predating the Yoshi by a few years. Ostros are more standard, giving Shy Guys greater mobility while chasing Mario and friends, while the Autobomb has the added ability of firing projectiles at the player. The player can remove the Shy Guy from their mounts, and then used as a ride themselves (Doing this is required in a few areas to cross some Spikes of Doom).

The Legend of Zelda:
The Legend of Zelda: Oracle Games let Link choose among a boxing kangaroo named Ricky, a blue flying bear named Moosh and a friendly swimming Dodongo named Dimitri as steeds for him. The choice is permanent, so Link cannot use all three (although the game lets you use all three first).
Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask and Twilight Princess have the fast-galloping and leaping horse Epona. The latter game also inverts the trope whenever Link turns into a wolf, in whose case Link is the Powerup Mount, for the dark imp Midna. In this formation, the two can can leap to high ledges, teleport and use a homing attack to wipe out several enemies at once.
Whereas in the prior games Epona is, once unlocked, accessible at any time, she is a true powerup-dependent mount in Four Swords Adventures, where finding a certain object allows the four Links to ride horses at a blistering speed, crushing enemies underfoot and clearing certain obstacles for a limited period.

In Dante's Inferno, Dante occasionally uses his scythe to take control of Beasts. Dante is effectively invincible during these sequences with the only threat being other demons trying to reclaim control of the Beast. The Beast will curbstomp the rest of the enemies with ease. At one point Dante will also use the Scythe to take control of Phylegas, a huge firebreathing rock demon that he just fought as a boss. To highlight how huge Dante's new mount is, Beasts are mice compared to it. Unlike other games that use this mechanic, Dante doesn't kill his mounts after their usefulness has ended. The environment does that for him. Hell is pretty dangerous after all, even for demons.

Non-video game example: a few of the later Mage Knight sets included rider and mount figures. When mounted, the two characters move together but have their own separate actions. At least one combination of figures that both had the Charge power was recognized as a Game-Breaker.

Super Mario Bros.:
Yoshi is such a classic example that the trope used to be named after him. His basic mechanics have definitely served as a template for many other mounts. He's been a power-up mount in Super Mario World, Super Mario Sunshine, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Super Mario Galaxy 2, New Super Mario Bros. U, Super Mario Maker, and Super Mario Maker 2. The gameplay is generally the same in all games though there are some variations in each. In Super Mario World, for example, Yoshi can be carried over after clearing a level, which is not the case for the subsequent 2D games where he'll leave his master as soon as the ending flagpole is touched; and even in the SNES game, he cannot join Mario or Luigi during a Ghost House, Fortress or Castle (instead, he waits outside until the departing character clears the level or loses an extra life). In Super Mario Sunshine, Yoshi cannot touch water or he'll disappear, which can complicate things a lot in certain cases.
Yoshi's Island is the inverse of this: you play as Yoshi himself and his friends, as they carry Baby Mario on their backs.note Except in a few levels where Baby Mario flies around. The creators also thoughtfully included a Power-Up Mount for Yoshi, in the form of a large dog named Poochy. The dog carries his passengers across spikes and lava and things, but has a fairly steep learning curve for controlling it.
Yoshi's Island DS inverts it further by having a multitude of Baby characters for Yoshi to carry around, all possessing their own special abilities to assist Yoshi with.
In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, your Yoshi partner is a Cute Boisterous Bruiser with the strength to carry a plumber three times his size.
Downplayed with Yoshi in Super Mario Galaxy 2. Yoshi can flutter jump,note the key to a Good Bad Bug that breaks the game in interesting ways, use his tongue as a hook to swing over wide bottomless pits and to eat enemies, and transform into Dash/Light/Balloon forms as power-ups. However, this is one of the few Mario games in which Yoshi does not provide an extra hit point at all, so taking a hit will result in both Mario/Luigi losing a health wedge/life, and Yoshi fleeing.
Plessie from Super Mario 3D World can carry all four player characters and race through river levels. Incidentally, Plessie even resembles a big orange Yoshi.
A rare enemy example comes in the form of Ostro and Autobomb in Super Mario Bros. 2, who are ridden by Shy Guys and predating the Yoshi by a few years. Ostros are more standard, giving Shy Guys greater mobility while chasing Mario and friends, while the Autobomb has the added ability of firing projectiles at the player. The player can remove the Shy Guy from their mounts, and then used as a ride themselves (Doing this is required in a few areas to cross some Spikes of Doom).

Pokémon:
Any Pokémon that can learn Surf or Fly becomes this. At least in the games where HMs are a thing; Gen VII replaced them with Ride Pokémon, elaborated below.
In Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, you can capture Doduo for faster travel on land, Floatzel or Empoleon for travel in water (the latter provides the ability to smash through icebergs) or Staraptor to teleport between towns. Staraptor will leave the party as soon as you arrive at your destination, the Water types will leave once you leave the water and Doduo can be ridden until you need to enter a building, then it will leave the party (although this can be prevented by doing something that prompts the Ranger pose action, such as a Quest). Torkoal can be captured to traverse through lava.
In Guardian Signs, the player is able to summon the three Legendary Beasts to ride on them, each of them having different functions (Entei can ram through boulders, Raikou can leap over gaps and Suicune can run on water). You can also capture Staraptor again to fly in the skies, allowing you to teleport between locations or simply fly to them, but you eventually gain access to the ability to summon either Latios or Latias, who are superior to Staraptor in terms of flying.
The sixth generation Pokémon Gogoat serves as the first true rideable Pokémon, though only in Lumiose City. In one area, its pre-evolved form, Skiddo can be ridden as well. You can also ride Rhyhorn and Mamoswine on certain routes. They can also shatter rocks that are in the way.
Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire have Latias and Latios ride you around the Hoenn region in their Mega Forms, and you can fly to various mirage islands and other locations that cannot be reached by foot. These locations also hold various legendary Pokemon like Entei, Raikou and Suicune, The lake trio, Dialga and Palkia, and Reshiram and Zekrom.
Pokémon Sun and Moon add to the list of rideable Pokémon via the Poké Ride mechanic — Tauros, Stoutland, Mudsdale, Machamp, Lapras, Sharpedo, and Charizard. These ride Pokémon completely replace HMs and various other tools that were staples in previous games: Tauros replaces both the Bike and Rock Smash, Stoutland works as the Item Finder, Mudsdale can traverse rocky terrain, Machamp replaces the Strength HM. Lapras and Sharpedo both replace Surf, but you can fish from Lapras's back while Sharpedo is faster and can break boulders. Charizard replaces the Fly HM.
Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon adds Mantine as a Ride Pokémon, where (akin to the Eon Pokémon in Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire) it's used to surf between Alola's islands in a surfing minigame where the player avoids wild Pokémon and does tricks in the air to gain points. The Olympus Mons Solgaleo and Lunala also get in on the act, being used to travel through Ultra Space in a similar fashion.
The horse Pokemon Glastrier and Spectrier in Pokémon Sword and Shield have their own unique powers that can be imparted upon their rider. They're too small for a human to ride, unlike Mudsdale, but they're the perfect size and shape for local Legendary Pokemon Calyrex — and uniquely to them, their ability is added to Calyrex's own instead of overwriting it, grouped under "As One".
Pokémon Legends: Arceus has five new Pokémon that can be ridden to travel through the untamed wilderness of the Hisui region (which would later be known as Sinnoh in the future). There's Stantler's evolution, Wyrdeer, which is ridden over land, Hisuian Braviary, which allows the player to fly (working more like a hang-glider then as a teleport to another town) and Basculegion, the evolved form of Basculin which can be ridden on water. Additionally, there's Ursaring's evolution, Ursaluna, which functions as the Item Finder, and Sneasler, the evolved form of Hisuian Sneasel, which can be used to scale cliffs and rock walls.
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet feature Koraidon and Miraidon, two large, vaguely bike-shaped reptilians who the player can... well, ride on. Though initially limited to ground transportation, they gain new forms that enable water and air travel as you progress through the story.

The latter game also inverts the trope whenever Link turns into a wolf, in whose case Link is the Powerup Mount, for the dark imp Midna. In this formation, the two can can leap to high ledges, teleport and use a homing attack to wipe out several enemies at once.

In the single player mode of Brütal Legend, Eddie can find and ride various critters throughout the world, depending on the area. Most are hostile and will attack, but can be ridden after being stunned by an electric attack. They range in size from the deer-like Raptor Elk to the massive Hextadon. Each critter gives Eddie a speed boost compared to his car and has a unique attack that he can unleash. With the Call of the Wild solo power, Eddie gains the ability to summon animals to him, with exactly what he calls being determined by how far along the Hunter's quest he is.

Mega Man X: The various Ride Armors and Ride Chasers you can take serve as this. The former gives protection and massive attack power, but is limited on certain terrains because it lacks wall-jumping ability that out heroes have. The latter is for speeding in certain stages.

Kirby's Dream Land 2 adds Animal Buddies that can aid with Kirby's Copy Abilities and movement. Rick, Kine, and Coo are a hamster, sunfish, and owl respectively. Kirby's Dream Land 3 brings three new Animal Buddies to the mix: Nago, a cat that rolls Kirby around, ChuChu, an octopus on Kirby's head; and Pitch, a bird he can ride, then throw for long-distance attacks.

Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg has three: Rikol the kangaroo-lion who can jump quite high and spit fireballs, Datch the sheep-ostrich who can glide and has a green-charged attack... thing, and Kaboot the shark who averts your Super Drowning Skills and has a body-slam attack. They can also sustain several hits of damage, instead of just one.

Rayman:
Rayman gets to ride a mosquito a couple of times in his self-titled game. First you have to defeat it, then you get to use it all throughout a few levels.
Rayman 2: The Great Escape has the Walking Shells, essentially missiles with legs that chase after the player on sight and can be ridden to advance through the level.
Also in Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc, you get to ride Globox a couple of times after he's drunk plum juice.

The NES video game incarnation of Jaws offers a miniature submarine powerup that can be found randomly on the overworld map. Despite being ostensibly a vehicle, it actually functions identically to this trope, offering an increase in firepower, mobility, and a single extra hit upon which it is lost.

Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon adds Mantine as a Ride Pokémon, where (akin to the Eon Pokémon in Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire) it's used to surf between Alola's islands in a surfing minigame where the player avoids wild Pokémon and does tricks in the air to gain points. The Olympus Mons Solgaleo and Lunala also get in on the act, being used to travel through Ultra Space in a similar fashion.

In Paleo Pines, the player can ride certain dinosaurs, known as helpers, which have different abilities. As seen in the demo, Lucky the Parasaurolophus can dash, and Styracosaurus can break rocks (Pachycephalosaurus was also shown doing this in a Twitter clip). The trailer also shows them using a Triceratops to plough a field, and the pre-order trailer shows a Tyrannosaurus watering plants.

In Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance], this is a common form of link attack for Sora's larger dream eater allies. It makes both him and the involved dream eater completely invincible, and allows them to ram into the opposition. Some of the dream eaters are also able to unleash one of their other attacks while being ridden.

In Gunsmoke, one of the powerups is a donkey, which you ride. It definitely increased the number of hits you could take above one, that's saying something.

Terraria: The player can use mounts for transportation or dealing damage. When a mount-summoning item is used, it applies an unlimited buff to the player, spawns the mount, and places the player on or in it. Like Pets and Minions, mounts can be used limitlessly, and their summoning items are not consumed.

Medal of Honor of all series got in on this in Rising Sun, the protagonist mounting an elephant with a saddle-mounted machine gun. It sounds like it should have been awesome, but sadly it ended up being a rather frustrating Rail Shooter section; the elephant saunters along at barely the player's walking pace, blithely unconcerned by the amount of lead flying around from several directions at once, and you have no cover whatsoever.
