Their name stems from "{{wp|ampere}}" (often shortened to "amp"), the standard unit of measurement for the flow of electrical currents. They first appear in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', though they resemble the earlier [[Spark]] enemy, having a similar appearance and behavior to its ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' rendition. | ||

Amps and [[Big Amp]]s reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', appearing only in [[Snake Block Tower]] and in [[Ludwig's Clockwork Castle]]. They behave like in the predecessor. There is also a new, similar enemy known as [[Bowser Stunner]]s that conduct electricity with each other. They are one of the few enemies that do not reappear in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]''. | Amps and [[Big Amp]]s reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.

Amps originally sported white {{wp|Manga iconography#Head and face|"cross-popping" veins}}, joyful red eyes, and rounded white lips with a pure red mouth. This appearance was last used in ''Mario Party Advance''. Since ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', their usual appearance has been changed a bit. They now have wider yellow eyes and a larger mouth. They now have a red tongue and dark red interior being visible inside the mouth. They also became black rather than grayish and sport no angry veins. In ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', they have an appearance similar to their debut, but with a black body, larger features, and no veins. Since ''Dr. Mario World'', they have become silver again, but keep all other updates to their design from ''Super Mario 64 DS''. | Amps originally sported white {{wp|Manga iconography#Head and face|"cross-popping" veins}}, joyful red eyes, and rounded white lips with a pure red mouth.
