Power Ups can be used to give the controlling character, or any other character, temporary or permanent upgrades.
Side-scrolling games present the world as viewed perpendicular to the direction the characters are facing on screen. With a heavy focus on lateral movement, objectives are often met by moving from one end of a stage to the other.
