The '''Big Amps'''<ref>''New Super Mario Bros. U'' Prima eGuide, Enemies Tab.</ref> (or '''Mega Amps'''{{ref needed}}) are large sub-species of [[Amp]]s. They first appeared in ''[[Mario Party 5]]''. Regardless of their size, they have the same designs (excluding ''Super Mario Galaxy''). They are redesigned in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', looking similar to the normal-sized ones from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', though they are few times bigger.

====''Mario Party 5''====
[[File:Yoshi Electrocuted 5.png|thumb|150px|Big Amps from ''Mario Party 5'']]
Large variants of Amps first appear in ''Mario Party 5'' in [[Shock Absorbers (Mario Party 5)|Shock Absorbers]], along with regular Amps. They are slightly bigger than the regular Amps, and much like the regular Amps, coming into contact with them electrocutes a character.
====''Mario Party 6''====
A single Big Amp makes a cameo appearance in ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', during the intro of [[Circuit Maximus]]. This Big Amp is noticeably larger than its predecessors from the previous game.
====''Mario Party 10''====
Big Amps reappear in ''[[Mario Party 10]]'' in [[Kamek's Rocket Rampage]]. After [[Kamek]] loses half of his health, he uses [[Banzai Bill]]s that deal three points per hit and Big Amps that deal two points per hit.

====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
Big Amps appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' as faceless orbs unlike the regular-sized ones. Despite that, they will still act the same way as in the other games, and they will move as well.
[[File:SMG Big Amp.png|thumb|150px|A Zap Ball in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'']]
Big Amps, referred to as '''Zap Balls''',<ref>{{cite|language=en|url=www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/galaxy/?lang=en|title=English ''Super Mario Galaxy'' entry on the official Mario Portal|publisher=nintendo.co.jp|accessdate=August 13, 2022|archive=archive.today/2022.08.12-233909/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/galaxy/?lang=en}}</ref> are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', though they no longer have any visible facial features, unlike the regular Amps. Despite this, their behavior is identical to their smaller counterparts.


====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
Big Amps return in the sequel to ''Super Mario Galaxy'', ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They appear in the [[Space Storm Galaxy]].
Big Amps, again referred to as Zap Balls,<ref>{{cite|language=en|url=www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/galaxy2/?lang=en|title=English ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' entry on the official Mario Portal|publisher=nintendo.co.jp|accessdate=August 13, 2022|archive=archive.today/2022.08.12-233946/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/galaxy2/?lang=en}}</ref> are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They are encountered in the [[Space Storm Galaxy]] only.


====''New Super Mario Bros. U''====
====''New Super Mario Bros. U''====
[[File:World5-TStarCoin3.png|thumb|left|200px|Several Big Amps from [[Snake Block Tower]].]]
Big Amps are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. They occur frequently in [[Snake Block Tower]] alongside their original counterparts. Big Amps do not appear in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]''.
Big Amps make their [[Wii U]] debut in ''New Super Mario Bros. U''. They behave exactly like normal sized Amps, except they are a few times bigger. There are plenty of them in [[Snake Block Tower]] alongside their original counterpart. If [[Mario]] touches one, he will be electrocuted.


They're one of the very few enemies not to return in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]''.
