Amp



Amps are enemies in the Mario franchise, appearing in Super Mario 64. They are present in Bowser in the Dark World, Shifting Sand Land, Vanish Cap under the Moat, Wet-Dry World, Snowman's Land, Bowser in the Fire Sea, Tick Tock Clock, Rainbow Ride and Bowser in the Sky. They are black circles with faces covered in electricity, usually circling an object. Mario will be shocked on contact, losing one wedge of life. Mario cannot defeat them. In the Nintendo 64 version of Shifting Sand Land, inside the pyramid, they are Amps that, instead of circling an object, come out of a wall. In the DS version, they are regular circling Amps instead.
