===As an item===
The Bumper can be picked up and thrown by players; if it hits opponents, it deals some damage, with its knockback properties varying on the game. In ''Super Smash Bros.'', it deals weak, set knockback, but in ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', the item's knockback scales, and it can potentially KO opponents at mid-range percentages, at about 60%.

===As a stage hazard===
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.

As they can also be set in midair, using them requires good tactics.

*''[[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>

**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.

*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.
