U'' Prima eGuide, Enemies Tab.</ref> (or '''Mega Amps'''{{ref needed}}) 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. |
