'''Bumpers''' are objects in the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series. They can bounce [[Mario]] away upon contact.

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', they appear in the underwater sections of [[World 1-A (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-A]] and [[World 8-3 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-3]]. They appear as translucent yellow bubbles with an eight-spoked plantlike symbol on or inside them. Bumpers will bounce Mario in the opposite of the direction he ran into them from.

Mario traverses the course within a [[bubble]], and making contact with a bumper bounces him back in the opposite direction. Pieces of '''meat'''<ref>{{cite|author=Black, Fletcher|date=2007|title=''Super Mario Galaxy: PRIMA Official Game Guide (Collector's Edition)''|location=Roseville|publisher=Prima Games|language=en-us|isbn=978-0-76155-713-5|page=145}}</ref> are floating bumpers found in [[Ghostly Galaxy]], where they bounce back Mario in areas navigated with [[Pull Star]]s.

In ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' (v1.30 or later) and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'', Bumpers can be created by shaking a [[Grinder]] in editing mode. They are donut-shaped balloons that stay still in the air. When Mario jumps on one from above, it can bounce him higher similar to [[trampoline]]s and [[Note Block]]s; if Mario bumps into one from the side or below, it bounces Mario away. Enemies, objects, and projectiles are not affected by Bumpers and will freely pass through them.

In the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' game style, Bumpers are striped light and dark green, with eyes similar to that of [[Mr. Eraser]]. In the ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' style, they are checkered green and white similar to the [[Note Block|Jump Block]]s from ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', with the same type of eyes. In the ''[[Super Mario World]]'' style, they are white with pink diamonds and beady eyes. In the ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' style, they retain the beady eyes and are yellow with an orange star pattern, resembling [[Lemmy]]'s [[magical ball|ball]]s from the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' series.
