Based on {{wp|bumper cars}}, the goal of the minigame is for players to knock their opponents off of the platform while on top of a ball. The only setting in ''Mario Party'' is a small island surrounded by water, though ''Mario Party 2'' features three different levels, the first occurring on a platform surrounded by [[lava]], the second level on an icy mountain with slippery ground, and the third on a floating isle in the ocean. The third stage has [[Blooper]]s that carries away players who are removed, as well as rocks and bumps that affect players' movement. In ''Mario Party: The Top 100'', only the lava course returns, this time with a smaller platform. In ''Mario Party Superstars'', all three stages from ''Mario Party 2'' return. The ''Super Mario Party Jamboree'' version uniquely features a flat platform taking place in the sky, and the fifth player, [[Mario]], begins in the center.
Bumper Balls is both named after and based on {{wp|bumper cars}}. Each player rides a ball and tries to knock their opponents off of the platform.

In both ''Mario Party'' and ''Mario Party 2'', the last player standing wins. If one minute passes with two or more players remaining, or if the remaining players get eliminated, the minigame is a tie. On [[Mini-Game Island]] and in the [[Mini-Game Coaster]], the player must eliminate the three CPU players within one minute to win; the latter mode uses the lava course on Easy difficulty, the ice course on Normal, and the ocean course on Hard. If time runs out before the task is completed or if the player is eliminated at any time, it is a miss.
