'''Big Amps'''<ref>{{cite|author=Stratton, Steve|title=''New Super Mario Bros. U'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|page=28|publisher=Prima Games|language=en-us|date=November 18, 2012|isbn=978-0-307-89690-2}}</ref> are a variety of [[Amp]]s first appearing in ''[[Mario Party 5]]''. While they are a larger size, Big Amps have the same behavior and appearance as their ordinary counterparts, with the exception of both ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''.
The '''Big Amps''' (or '''Mega Amp''') 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 [[Bomber Bill|Banzai Bill]]s that deal three points per hit and Big Amps that deal two points per hit.

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.
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; Zap Balls also have a smaller version of themselves that is only slightly larger than normal Amps. There is also another similar obstacle called the [[Electric Ball]].

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]]''.
