'''Bumper Balloons''' is a 2-vs.-2 and Duel [[minigame]] found in ''[[Mario Party 8]]''. Its name is a pun on "{{wp|bumper cars}}." This minigame takes place in a similar setting to [[Kartastrophe]], albeit on a differently shaped track more fit for battles.

==Introduction==
The camera focuses in on each team/player before zooming out to show the entire driving area, at which point the minigame begins.

==Gameplay==
Players must hold the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] sideways to play this minigame. The objective for the player is to pop all of their team/own color's balloons before the opposing team/player can pop its/theirs. To pop a balloon, a player must simply drive into it. The player must be careful not to pop the other team's/player's balloons. Whichever team/player has all its/their balloons popped first wins the minigame. If neither team's/player's balloons are all popped within a certain time limit, a tie occurs.

==Ending==
The vehicles are parked in the center of the track, and winners do victory poses while losers do losing poses.

==Controls==
*'''Wii Remote:''' Turn steering wheel
*'''Buttons''' 
**{{button|wii|2}} – Accelerate
**{{button|wii|1}} – Decelerate/reverse
