Bumper Bubbles is a recurring minigame in the Mario Party series. It first appears in Mario Party 9 and returns in Mario Party: The Top 100, in which it is a Free-for-All minigame.
Opening[]
The characters emerge from the bottom of the screen, swimming upward in their respective bubble before floating down to the bottom. All of the characters move upward then downward simultaneously.
Gameplay[]
Each character has to collect as many balloons as possible while floating around in their bubble and avoiding Spiked Balls along the way. Whenever a character touched a Spiked Ball, their bubble pops, all of their balloons are released, and they fall offscreen. However, a few seconds later, the same character returns onscreen inside of a new bubble. It is possible for a character to bump another character by colliding with them. Five balloons spawn every four seconds until the last five seconds. Whoever obtains the most balloons within 60 seconds is the winner.
