Bowser Stunners[1] are Amp-like obstacles that first appear in New Super Mario Bros. U. They return in New Super Luigi U and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. As their name implies, they resemble Bowser's head. Unlike Amps, Bowser Stunners have special chains connected to another Bowser Stunner, creating a stream of electricity to travel on the chains. They electrify player characters on contact. Bowser Stunners are completely invincible, and cannot be defeated by any attack. In New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U, Bowser Stunners are encountered exclusively in Red-Hot Elevator Ride and Current Event, respectively.
