'''Bumper Balls''' is a 4-Player [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party]]'', ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''. It is also the second part of the Showdown minigame [[Mario's Three-peat]] in ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]''. | |||
== | ==Overview== | ||
[[File:SMPJ Mario Threepeat Bumper Balls.png|thumb|left|The Bumper Balls segment of Mario's Three-peat in ''Super Mario Party Jamboree'']] | |||
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. 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. | |||
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. | |||
The minigame can be purchased at the [[Mini-Game House]] in ''Mario Party'' for 250 [[Coin]]s when it is available, or from [[Woody]] in ''Mario Party 2'' for 100 Coins. | |||

Bumper Balls is a 4-Player minigame in Mario Party, Mario Party 2, Mario Party: The Top 100, and Mario Party Superstars. It is also the second part of the Showdown minigame Mario's Three-peat in Super Mario Party Jamboree.
Overview[edit]
Bumper Balls is both named after and based on bumper cars. Each player rides a ball and tries to knock their opponents off of the platform. 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 Bloopers 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.
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.
The minigame can be purchased at the Mini-Game House in Mario Party for 250 Coins when it is available, or from Woody in Mario Party 2 for 100 Coins.
