why is it the powerups dont work if not having to collect that fruit to complete the board?

I selected a certain character power up and it said it needed strawberries to power up but the game didn't need them to complete the level. Every time I collected the strawberries the power up bar didn't move. If it would have moved and charged I may have had a slight chance of winning the game, instead it did nothing but hinder me when I believed it was helping to collect the fruit. It took my beans but didn't help.

In what level did this happen to you, we can check it with some youtube videos to see if its a common error maybe.
