*''[[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. | *''[[Super Smash Bros.

*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> | *Set Bumpers can be [[reflect]]ed in ''Smash 64''.
