Template:Character-infobox Bumper is a badger and a playable character in Diddy Kong Racing and its Nintendo DS remake, Diddy Kong Racing DS. He and the other playable characters were contacted by Timber to prevent Wizpig from taking over Timber's Island. Bumper's theme instrument on the character selection menu is a steel guitar. Bumper's vehicle is yellow, which later applied to every racer in Diddy Kong Racing DS. Bumper has a more mature voice in the remake.
Bumper has average speed and good acceleration, but with weak turning abilities. His top speed without bananas is 56.5 mph, like with Conker and Timber.
A promotional e-mail by Rare Ltd. in 2004 to promote the release of Conker: Live & Reloaded implied that one of the racers from Diddy Kong Racing had been jailed.[1] An instance on the Rare Ltd. website in 2012, further confirmed that the imprisoned individual in question had been "Bumper the badger".[2]
