Revision as of 07:38, September 3, 2020

Template:Character-infobox Bumper is a badger and a playable character in Diddy Kong Racing and its Nintendo DS remake, Diddy Kong Racing DS. After Microsoft purchased Rare Ltd., in 2004, the rights of Bumper were given wholly to Microsoft.

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]

History

Donkey Kong franchise

Diddy Kong Racing

Bumper was one of many characters contacted by Timber in Diddy Kong Racing, in order to prevent Wizpig from taking over Timber's Island. Bumper's theme instrument on the character selection menu is a steel guitar.

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. His vehicle color is yellow.

Diddy Kong Racing DS

Bumper returns for the remake, Diddy Kong Racing DS, with very slight changes, including having a more mature voice.
