| '''Amps''' are electrical, metallic balls debuting in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Their name is derived from "{{wp|ampere}}" (often shortened to "amp"), often used to measure electrical currents. They first appear in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', though they resemble the ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' rendition of the earlier [[Spark]] enemy. | | '''Amps''', also known as '''Electro-Chomps''' in the ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' strategy guide, are small, electrified metal balls who have appeared as enemies throughout the ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' series. |
|
| |
|
| The original design of Amps, from ''Super Mario 64'', depicts them gray with red eyes, gray lips, white {{wp|Manga iconography#Head and face|"cross-popping" veins}}, and a red mouth. Since ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', they have wider yellow eyes, a larger mouth with a tongue, become black, and lose their veins. Their original design was last used in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]''. Amps were changed to smaller black orbs with simplified red eyes and mouth in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''. While the Amps of ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'' are gray, they are otherwise like their design in ''Super Mario 64 DS''. Amps usually have joyful eyes and a smiling mouth overall.

| | Amps make their first appearance in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and are featured in several levels through out ''Super Mario 64'' and its remake ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. Similar to [[Li'l Sparky|Li'l Sparkie]]s and [[Hothead]]s, they move around objects and platforms and if [[Mario]] comes into contact with one, he will be shocked and lose one wedge of health. There is no possible way to defeat Amps in this game. Amps can be found in [[Bowser in the Dark World]], [[Shifting Sand Land]], [[Vanish Cap Under the Moat]], [[Bowser in the Fire Sea]], [[Tick Tock Clock]], [[Rainbow Ride]], and [[Bowser in the Sky]] |
| Amps are invincible enemies that move in quick, wide circles in various areas of ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', usually around objects. Touching an Amp takes away a unit of the player character's [[Health Meter|health]] and makes him unable to move briefly. [[Shifting Sand Land]] also has two Amps that uniquely spawn from the air before chasing [[Mario]] if he is nearby, though ''Super Mario 64 DS'' gives the Amps their standard behavior instead. | |

| Amps are enemies found only in {{World link|3|towern|World 3-Tower (New Super Mario Bros.)}}, {{World link|4|towern|World 4-Tower (New Super Mario Bros.)}} and {{World link|7|castlen|World 7-Castle (New Super Mario Bros.)}} in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', usually in groups. They can now be defeated from either a [[Mega Mushroom]] or [[Super Star|Starman]]. Amps lose their electricity briefly from shocking Mario or [[Luigi]], though those on fences disappear after shocking him.
| | Amps reappear as an uncommon enemy in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', in several [[Tower]] levels. In this game, they appear mostly in groups, and if Mario comes in contact with one, he will be shocked. They can only be defeated with a [[Mega Mushroom]], [[Shell Mario|Blue Shell]], or [[Starman]]. |

| | Amps can also be found in many areas of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', including the [[Buoy Base Galaxy]], the [[Battlerock Galaxy]], and the [[Dreadnought Galaxy]]. They have faces, however their eyes and mouth are both bright red. There also other Amps that are large, face-less orbs. Despite that, they will still act the same way as in the other games, and they will move as well. Just like ''Super Mario 64'', Amps cannot be defeated. |
| Amps are invincible enemies in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', though they are among the enemies that the second player can freeze. Amps move either back and forth or around the boundary of a planet, and should two hit each other, they move the other way while producing a few extra sparks. Amps also have a more common faceless variety, [[Zap Ball]]s. | |

| ====''New Super Mario Bros. U''==== | |
| [[File:AmpNSMBU.png|thumb|left|Amps in ''New Super Mario Bros. U''.]]
| |
| Amps and [[Big Amp]]s both appear in [[Snake Block Tower]] and in [[Ludwig's Clockwork Castle]] reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. They behave like in the predecessor, except touching them on the {{iw|nwiki|Wii U GamePad}} in [[Boost Mode]] takes away their electricity, leaving them vulnerable to a stomp. The game adds the similar [[Bowser Stunner]]s, which conduct electricity with each other. Amps do not appear in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]''.

Has a short fuse and gets mad easily.|title=''Mario Party Advance''|date=2005|publisher=Nintendo}}</ref> and Amp tends to speak with electricity-related puns. Amp keeps losing in [[Match 'Em]], so if the player helps him win, by ending with one more coin than what they began with, Amp believes that his luck will begin to turn around, which is suggested by the ending.<ref>{{cite|quote=Hit a hot streak in the Game Room.|author=Amp|date=2005|title=''Mario Party Advance''|publisher=Nintendo}}</ref>
| |
| | |
| Amps are hazards in [[Amplifried]], [[Cloud Climb]], and [[Broom Zoom]], damaging the player character either on contact or with their electricity. Amplifried revolves around avoiding Amps and their lightning bolts,<ref>{{cite|quote=Dodge the lightning bolts those Amps blast!|date=2005|publisher=Nintendo|title=''Mario Party Advance''}}</ref> and they move around, unlike in Cloud Climb and Broom Zoom.

| |
| | |
| ====''Super Mario Party''====
| |
| [[File:HalftheBattle SuperMarioParty.png|thumb|left|Screenshot from ''Super Mario Party'' of Amps in Half the Battle]]
| |
| Amps are obstacles in the minigame [[Half the Battle]] of ''[[Super Mario Party]]'', where touching one stuns a player briefly.
| |
| | |
| ====''Super Mario Party Jamboree''====
| |
| Amps are hazards in a few minigames of ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]'', including [[Scare-ousel]] and [[Shuttle Scuttle]], disqualifying players who touch them, as well as sometimes in [[Jr.'s Jauntlet]]. They are also in the Koopathlon minigames [[Lane Change]] and [[Sky-High Cannons]], with the mode also featuring an Amp item that shocks the player in front for a few seconds.
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario Sports Superstars''===
| |
| Amps are obstacles while battling the Big [[Yellow Magikoopa]] in the Road to Superstar mode in ''[[Mario Sports Superstars]]'', being spawned and thrown by him.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===''Dr. Mario World''===
| | A [[Zap Orb]] appeared in ''[[Mario Party 6]]'' and ''[[Mario Party 7]]''. |
| Amps appear in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'' as assistants. Their body is now silver like in their debut appearance in ''Super Mario 64'', while still having their modern eyes from ''Super Mario 64 DS'' onwards. In both stage mode and versus mode, their effect is to transform an object, mainly a [[virus]], into an [[exploder]] when the stage starts, where the chance of activation is higher at higher levels (20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% from levels 1 to 5 respectively).
| |
|
| |
|
| ===''Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit''===
| | They also appeared in ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', but they were referred to by the traditional name of "Amps". |
| Amps are featured as gates in [[Lightning Lagoon]], [[Glazed Gardens]], and [[Windswept Prairie]] in ''[[Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit]]'', zapping drivers on contact and slowing them briefly.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===''Mario Golf: Super Rush''===
| | An Amp also appeared in the ''[[Mario Party 8]]'' mini-game [[Spector Inspector]]. |
| There are trick Golf items based on Amps in ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]'', titled Amp Balls, though Amps are not physically present. Amp Balls create a shock that knocks out several zones within range, and a Dead-Aim Bonus is rewarded should every zone be knocked out.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Profiles and statistics==
| | A single Amp appeared in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]''. There, it appears as a citizen of [[Town Area]] and needs help in winning a game in [[Town Game Room B]]. Notably, it sometimes uses electric terms in its speech. Also, Amps appear in various mini-games as enemies. |

| | *Their name stems from "[[wikipedia:Ampere|ampere]]" (often shortened to "amp"), the standard unit of measurement for the speed of electrical currents. |
| <references/> | | *In the pyramid of [[Shifting Sand Land]], there are two Amps that, instead of circling around objects, come out of walls and chase Mario until he gets far away. However, these Amps do not appear in the DS remake. |
