==Overview==

*In ''Brawl'', ''Smash 4'', and ''Ultimate'', the item will either stop in midair or stop upon hitting a flat surface; in both cases, the Bumper will send players flying to either the right or left if they touch it, though it will stay in place when it does so. In certain situations, a character can be trapped between a Bumper and a wall get repeatedly pushed in-place until it disappears.  

In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', a floating Bumper appears above [[Peach's Castle]], moving side to side. Acting as a dynamic barrier, it can KO or potentially prevent players from getting [[Star KO]]ed. Floating Bumpers are also seen in {{SSB|Race to the Finish}}, and also [[Break the Targets]] and [[Board the Platforms]], either as stationary or moving hazards. Of note is that in the game, Bumpers cannot be placed in the air, making the Bumper in all of these instances unique compared to the item. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', the Castle Bumper keeps its old design and its property of dealing 1% of damage when touched, unlike the Bumper item. It does not, however, use the original sound.

|desc=An item that originally appeared in Super Smash Bros. on the Nintendo 64. After many years, it now makes its triumphant return. 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. As they can also be set in midair, using them requires good tactics.

|desc-ntsc=Ah, pinball... What a fun game. And with this item, you can add a bit of pinball wham to the battlefield. Once thrown, this item will bounce anything that comes near it violently away. Just don't get careless and walk into a deployed one yourself, or you'll get bounced too!

|desc-pal=You might recognise this from a pinball machine. Just like the metal balls do, touch one of these and you'll go flying! You can throw them, but we'd suggest affixing them strategically so that they hit just the right people and send them soaring into the distance. Job done.

*''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' is the only game where the Bumper is absent, making it the only item from the original game not to appear in said game. However, its role appears to have been given to the [[Flipper]], which serves a near-identical purpose. Furthermore, the Flipper's ability to be placed in midair was used for the Bumper since its return in ''Brawl'' and onwards.

*Set Bumpers can be [[reflect]]ed in ''Smash 64''. As a result, if the platform is small enough (such as the top of the right structure on [[Hyrule Castle]] or the pipes of {{SSB|Mushroom Kingdom}}), {{SSB|Fox}} can reflect a Bumper repeatedly until his [[Reflector]] breaks, at which point the super-reflected Bumper will deal extreme damage (but still set knockback).<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vigtSZz4EmA]</ref>

*When thrown on a platform that disappears or shrinks, the Bumper will bounce when the platform does either.

*In ''Brawl'', when a Bumper is placed in midair, it can be picked up while rotating into place before it is fully set. With luck, a player can attack an opponent with a bumper and grab it again.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tKvxRE86VE]</ref>

**If one of [[Dr. Kawashima]]'s numbers collides with it, it will start repeatedly going off, causing the number to freeze. Even after the Bumper vanishes, the number will stay perfectly still well after the other numbers have stopped spawning, and will only leave the screen if it is attacked, which will cause it to regain its momentum.

**If the {{b|Starman|EarthBound}} teleports onto a Bumper, it will stand inside of the Bumper, flinching but not being knocked back, rendering it useless until either it or the Bumper vanishes.

*Bumpers don't normally spawn on stages that travel across various areas or other moving stages (Delfino Plaza, Wuhu Island, Skyloft, etc.). This is possibly due to the stage's collision being affected by its mobility, which complicates stably placing a Bumper midair.

**Oddly enough, if a player spawns them in ''Brawl'' or ''SSB4'' through Training Mode, Bumpers can never be placed midair unlike other stages where it is normally available. In ''Ultimate'', Training Mode completely removes the Bumper in those moving stages.
