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.

HistoryEdit

New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Mario Bros. U DeluxeEdit

 
Bowser Stunners in Red-Hot Elevator Ride

In New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, Bowser Stunners make their only appearance as obstacles in Red-Hot Elevator Ride, where they electrify the player upon contact. Unlike Amps, Bowser Stunners have special chains connected to another Bowser Stunner, creating a stream of electricity to travel on the chains.

New Super Luigi UEdit

In New Super Luigi U, Bowser Stunners act the same as they did in New Super Mario Bros. U. They appear in the Peach's Castle level Current Event, where they are a major obstacle.
