Bumper Balls

Bumper Balls is a mini-game that appears in both Mario Party and Mario Party 2. The mini-game is derived from the bumper cars that appear in a majority of amusement parks.

Description
In the original Mario Party game, the characters are battling on top of an isolated island in the middle of the ocean. Each character is standing on top of a giant inflatable ball that contains its own design and color. The objective of the mini-game is for the characters to knock their opponents off the island by bouncing into each other with their balls. When a player hits one of their opponents with a ball, the other character will receive a knock back from the balls impact. If both characters hit each other with their balls at the same time, they will both receive recoil from the impact. When a character is knocked over the edge with their ball, then they are eliminated from the mini-game. If a player also falls off by mistake, they will be eliminated.

Bumper Balls returns in Mario Party 2 with the same objectives. This time, however, there are three different playing fields that they could play on. The first one takes place on top of a tower over a pit of lava. This is more of a neutral type of playing field then a hazardous one. In the second stage, the characters will be on top of a mountain, with a frozen Shy Guy at the center of it. On this playing field, the characters will be slipping more than usual. On the final playing field, the characters will be on an isolated island in the middle of the sea, similar to the one in the original Mario Party. However, this time there will a few rocks on the island to upset the player's momentum. Also, if they fall in the water, they will be carried off by a Blooper.
