Power Ups usually don't last forever. One common limiting factor is to have them expire after a set amount of time. This is very common with Invincibility Power Ups, where a limiting factor is necessary to avoid a Game-Breaker but other such factors like losing the Power-Up upon taking damage don't make sense. Also common with Quad Damage. Nearly always accompanied by an indicator to tell you how long it lasts, whether it be a timer in the HUD, a visual effect that gradually fades, or a Power Up Motif. In arena-based games such as First Person Shooters, these Power Ups often respawn in the same place on a fixed timer, making knowledge of their location and respawn timing a key element of strategy. Even in single-player games, knowing the rules for when and where such Power Ups can be collected or activated helps to get the maximum possible utility out of them before time expires. If they are activated immediately upon pickup and placed in spots where they are not of immediate use, can cause Power Up Let Down. A Sub-Trope of Power-Up and Status Buff. Compare Breakable Weapons, which wear out from use instead of over time, and Super Mode and Hour of Power, similar tropes that are story- as opposed to gameplay-mechanics-based. Examples |

In the Crash Bandicoot series, picking an Aku Aku mask gives you a Single-Use Shield. However, if you collect 3 of them, you'll become invincible for about 30 seconds before Aku Aku reverts to its normal state. | |

Kirby: Kirby's Dream Land features three: The Invincibility Candy, which has remained a series staple ever since its introduction here (appearing in every mainline game except Kirby's Dream Land 2), makes Kirby immune to damage for a brief period of time and allows him to inflict Collision Damage on enemies until it wears off. The Superspicy Curry and Mint Leaf allow Kirby to continuously breathe fire and spit air puffs, respectively, for a brief period of time. The latter additionally allows him to float indefinitely until it wears off, and a permanent version is provided for the boss battle against Kaboola. Kirby's Return to Dream Land: The "super abilities", as opposed to regular abilities, will go away after about a minute. It's to balance the fact that these abilities are VERY powerful and capable of clearing through levels and dealing major damage to enemies on his way. |

In Wonder Momo, Momo can transform into her Henshin Hero form, Wonder Momo, when she builds up her "WONDER" bar and touches a tornado power-up. Being in this form gives her a Wonder Hoop projectile and other extra attacks in addition to her standard melee attacks, but slowly drains her "WONDER". When it runs out, she returns to her regular form. Since the whole game is a parody of toku, it serves as a reference to the timed transformations of heroes from Ultraman and similar series. | |

While most power-ups in The Binding of Isaac last until you leave the current room, there's still a few of these. The Chariot card, for example, makes you temporarily invulnerable and lets you deal damage to enemies by charging into them, and the Rune of Algiz gives you a temporary shield that blocks all damage. | |

Mario Kart: The Starman from the Super Mario Bros. platformers returns in the Mario Kart games, where it not only confers invincibility and inverts Collision Damage but also increases the user's speed and acceleration for the duration. The Bullet Bill and Chain Chomp do all of the above, plus vastly increase the player's hitbox and put their kart on auto-pilot. The latter effect can turn this into a Power Up Letdown when it causes the player to miss lucrative shortcuts and item boxes or otherwise take a sub-optimal route. The Golden Mushroom allows the user to use an unlimited number of speed boosts (identical to the single-use Mushroom Power-Up) for a limited time. Tends to make the user hard to control unless they're lucky enough to get it right before a series of straightaways. It also takes up an item slot until the effect expires, which tends to last just long enough to make them miss the next item box. The Lightning Bolt is something of an inversion; rather than boosting the user directly, it shrinks every opponent on the track, slowing them down and making them vulnerable to getting run over by the sole normal-sized player left. The effect wears off after a short time. Similar to the Lightning Bolt, the Blooper covers all enemies' screens in blinding ink for a short time. In the Nintendo DS versions it's pretty easy for a human player to steer by the map on the second screen, but computer-controlled karts will veer wildly. |

Serious Sam series: All the games have the Serious Damage powerup, which usually lasts 40 seconds, except in II where it lasts 60 seconds instead. Bogus Detour renames the item as "Serious Strength", but the effect and duration are still the same. Serious Sam: The Second Encounter and Serious Sam II have the Invisibility item, which lasts 30 seconds. TSE, II, Serious Sam: Next Encounter and Serious Sam: Double D have the Invulnerability powerup, which lasts 30 seconds. TSE, II, Serious Sam: The Random Encounter and Serious Sam: Bogus Detour have the Serious Speed powerup, which increases Sam's movement speed for 20 seconds in TSE, 25 in II and 30 in Bogus Detour. Serious Sam II has the "Serious Jump", which allows the players to jump five times higher for 60 seconds. Serious Sam VR: The Last Hope has the Drone Squad (which summons five drones that help Sam over 25 game seconds), Money Time (which increases the amount of credits earned by Sam during 20 seconds), and Rage (which doubles the rate of fire of Sam's weapons during 10 seconds). |

In The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, the Guardian Acorn and Piece of Power halve damage taken and double damage dealt respectively for a short time, marked by a Power Up Motif. As they drop randomly from enemies and are instantly activated upon pickup, this can cause a Power Up Let Down should they be picked up when there don't happen to be many challenging enemies around to fight. | |

The Super Mario Bros. franchise: The Starman, which debuted in Super Mario Bros., is the Trope Codifier. It makes Mario flash different colors and inverts the game's usual Collision Damage: rather than Mario dying on contact with enemies, the reverse becomes true. It is accompanied by an iconic Power Up Motif and when the track ends, so does the effect. It is often placed directly before a sequence of enemies clustered close enough together that, if Mario defeats them all in rapid succession with the Starman, he can rack up large amounts of points, sometimes enough to earn a 1-Up. The Fire and Ice Flowers and the Red Star which grants flight work this way in Super Mario Galaxy and sequel. Notably, the Fire Flower traditionally lasts until Mario is hit in most previous games in the series. Here, it is usually placed only where it can be used to solve puzzles, and respawns as soon as the timer ends so that Mario can re-collect it and try the puzzle over again. |

Unreal has the Jump Boots for single-player, the only item which is activated right after picking them up and is worn off after a time (regardless if the player used the three charges), as well as its end-level counterpart, the Super Jump Boots (which are infinite, and for good reason). There's also the Energy Amplifier, a damaged battery which powers up the Dispersion Pistol and the Shock Rifle, which lasts 30 seconds, but is consumed quicker if a shot from these weapons is fired. | |

Diablo franchise: Every game since the first Diablo I features Shrines, stationary objects with random effects that commonly include temporary buffs to speed, defense, offense, experience gain, etc. A common strategy in Diablo III is to clear out the enemies in an area without activating its shrines, then run through the area activating all of them as quickly as possible to stack several bonuses before teleporting into a challenging area such as a rift, Whimseyshire, or a boss fight. Diablo III introduces Nephalem Glory, Power Ups which randomly drop from enemies and grant a temporary buff to damage. Picking up additional Nephalem Glory orbs resets the timer and stacks additional bonuses up to three levels, while picking up health globes extends the timer slightly. |

The invention of jumping, plus characters with different movement speeds, led to the timer on the Wings being removed for Hexen. Level design changed so that the Wings aren't available until any platforming puzzles have been solved in a hub; once found they're available until moving on (and still useful for combat mobility, especially against the Death Wyvern). | |

League of Legends: Many large monsters in the jungle give power-ups when killed. Baron Nashor gives a powerful timed Status Buff to your whole team if you defeat him, as does Vilemaw, his analogue on the Twisted Treeline map. Control of the "red" and "blue" buffs (as they're affectionately known) granted by the Brambleback and the Sentinel, respectively, is considered an important objective on Summoner's Rift. The Dragon normally provides a series of team-wide permanent buffs, but killing it five times in a single game results in a temporary boost that triples the bonuses of all the other four buffs. | |

In E.V.O.: Search for Eden, eating one of the rare red crystals gives you a powerful form based on a real or mythological creature for a few minutes. This includes the Dragon form found inside the cloud maze in Era 3. These can be recorded like any normal form and used again with a green crystal, though still on a time limit. | |

Unreal series: Unreal has the Jump Boots for single-player, the only item which is activated right after picking them up and is worn off after a time (regardless if the player used the three charges), as well as its end-level counterpart, the Super Jump Boots (which are infinite, and for good reason). There's also the Energy Amplifier, a damaged battery which powers up the Dispersion Pistol and the Shock Rifle, which lasts 30 seconds, but is consumed quicker if a shot from these weapons is fired. Unreal Tournament has the Damage Amplifier and Invisibility, which last 30 game seconds. Unreal Championship, Unreal Tournament 2003 and Unreal Tournament 2004 have the Double Damage, which lasts 30 game seconds. Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict, Unreal Tournament III and Unreal Tournament 4 have the Damage Amp and Invisibility powerups. III and 4 also adds the Berserk powerup, which doubles the weapon's rate of fire and the player's speed, and III adds the Invulnerability (self explanatory) and Slow Field (creates a field around the player that slows the speed of any enemy who enters into it) powerups. All of these powerups last 30 game seconds. |

Some power-ups in Temple Run, including the coin magnet and shield, are timed. You can increase the duration of these power-ups by upgrading them with in-game coins. | |

Many of the power-ups in id Software's Doom series have a time limit. Invulnerability turns things photonegative, renders the player immune to damage and lasts twenty seconds. Invisibility that makes the player tough to hit accurately lasts about thirty seconds. Radiation suits that shield the player from passive hazard damage turns things greenish and lasts about forty seconds. | |

In Spyro: Year of the Dragon, there are some pedestals which Spyro can run through to get a special ability, such as free flight or fireball breath, that lasts for a limited time depending on the place he gets it. | |

Heretic. The following Power Ups only give their benefit for a limited period of time: Torch (can see in darkness for 120 seconds), Shadowsphere (invisibility for 60 seconds), Tome of Power (increased weapon damage/effect for 40 seconds), Ring of Invulnerability (immune to all attacks for 30 seconds), and Wings of Wrath (allow flight for 60 seconds). The invention of jumping, plus characters with different movement speeds, led to the timer on the Wings being removed for Hexen. Level design changed so that the Wings aren't available until any platforming puzzles have been solved in a hub; once found they're available until moving on (and still useful for combat mobility, especially against the Death Wyvern). |

Super Smash Bros.: Unlike most weapons that wear out from use as opposed to over time, the Hammer causes the wielder to attack powerfully but uncontrollably for a set amount of time during which the wielder (whose mobility is decreased) frantically attempts to catch the other players for a possible One-Hit KO. Super Smash Bros. Brawl introduces the Golden Hammer, an even more powerful version of the Hammer with an even shorter time limit. The Starman returns from the Super Mario Bros. franchise, making any fighter that picks it up immune to damage for as long as it is active. The one difference is that it doesn't allow the fighter to administer Collision Damage. The Superspicy Curry from Kirby's Dream Land is introduced in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Any fighter that picks it up constantly spews fire to damage opponents and objects for a limited time at the cost of reduced mobility. |
