Power-ups in Escape Road appear randomly on the track as glowing items or bonuses earned from clearing sections of road. Common examples include nitro boosts for sudden acceleration, shields for collision protection, EMPs to disable pursuing vehicles, and advanced abilities like parachutes for aerial escapes or swimming modes in sequels like Escape Road City 2. Vehicle upgrades, unlocked with collected cash, can enhance these, granting special traits like improved durability or faster handling that amplify power-up effects. However, these are often time-limited or single-use, making activation timing critical—deploy too early, and you're vulnerable later; too late, and a trap claims you.
