Bumpers are used in pinball to send balls flying, and they perform the same role in Smash Bros. They react to anything that touches them, including the people who set them.

Trivia

  • In Super Smash Bros., if a Fox player smash up throws a Bumper on the tower on the right of Hyrule Castle and then uses Reflector, the bumper will hit the reflector five times, break it, and then deal large amounts of damage with low knockback, often leaving Fox on 999% damage. It is also possible to do it with two Bumpers by smash up throwing the first one and then normal up throwing the second one. Another stage this can be done on is Mushroom Kingdom. [1]
  • Despite not being an item on Melee, being replaced by the Flipper, the Bumper makes an appearance in Collect the Trophies in Classic Mode, being two giant parts to each side of the stage.
  • When thrown on a platform that disappears or shrinks, the platform will bounce if the platform does either.
