Li'l Sparkies are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''. They can now be defeated either with bubbles while the player is in [[Bubble Mario|Bubble form]] or by being crushed by a platform. The player characters now visually appear electrocuted when they take damage from contact with Li'l Sparkies, similar to [[Amp]]s in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' and its sequels.
