'''Amps''' (also called '''Electro-Chomps''' or '''Zaps''') are small, electrified metal balls who have appeared as enemies throughout the ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' series. Their name stems from "[[wikipedia:Ampere|ampere]]" (often shortened to "amp"), the standard unit of measurement for the flow of electrical currents.

==Trivia==
*In the guide for ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', Amps were mistakenly classified as [[Chain Chomp]]s.
*In the pyramid of [[Shifting Sand Land]] in ''Super Mario 64'', there are two Amps that, instead of circling around objects, come out of walls in a circular pattern (thus circling nothing) and home in on Mario. However, these Amps do not appear in the DS remake. Instead, there are standard Amps that circle around nothing.
*In ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', there is an unused sprite that controls Amps on lines, similar to [[Fuzzy|Fuzzies]]. These line controlled Amps then made an actual appearance in ''New Super Mario Bros. 2''.
