Big Amps appear in Super Mario Galaxy as faceless balls unlike the regular-sized Amps. Despite that, their behavior is identical to their smaller counterparts.
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Big Amps return in Super Mario Galaxy 2, where they appear in the Space Storm Galaxy.
New Super Mario Bros. U
Big Amps make their Wii U debut in New Super Mario Bros. U. There are plenty of them in Snake Block Tower alongside their original counterpart. If Mario touches one, he will be electrocuted.
They are one of the very few enemies not to return in New Super Luigi U.
