Bumper Thumper, titled Dodge and Dive in PAL releases, is a General minigame which appears in Mario Party: Island Tour.
Layout[]
The minigame is set on top of a tall tower in an amusement park. All four characters ride a hovercraft colored red, blue, green, and yellow respectively.
Gameplay[]
The characters have to try and bump into their opponents to push them off the edge of the tower. This is not made possible initially, as the platform is protected by sixteenth sections of a wall. Hitting a wall section lowers it halfway, and hitting it a second time causes it to disappear. When at least one wall section has fallen off, it becomes possible for characters to fall off and therefore be eliminated from the minigame. The last character remaining on the platform is the winner; alternatively, any character who manages to not fall off when the 60-second Time Limit expires wins.
Controls[]
- Circle Pad: Move
Trivia[]
- The minigame is similar to Bumper to Bumper, an 8-player minigame from Mario Party 7, as it also involves each character riding a bumper car, trying to push off their opponents.
