The '''Big Amps'''<ref>''New Super Mario Bros. U'' Prima eGuide, Enemies Tab.</ref> (or '''Mega Amps'''{{refneeded}}) 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.
'''Big Amps'''<ref>Stratton, Steve. ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 28.</ref> are, as the name would suggest, a larger variety of [[Amp]]s first appearing in ''[[Mario Party 5]]''. Despite the size difference, they have the same behavior and appearance as their ordinary counterparts, with the exception of both ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''.

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.

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.
