'''Bumpers'''<ref>von Esmarch, Nick. ''Mario Kart 7'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 130. '''ROAD HAZARDS''' section. "''BUMPERS: When you touch a bumper, it knocks you away. Some bumpers are mobile, so keep your eyes open.''"</ref> are stage obstacles in [[DS Waluigi Pinball|Waluigi Pinball]] from ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', found at the course's final stretch. Like {{wp|Pinball#Bumpers|the bumpers on real-world pinball machines}}, they bounce away players and [[metal ball]]s opposite the direction they were approached by. Some bumpers are stationary, while others move around in a circle. In ''Mario Kart DS'' and ''Mario Kart 7'', the stationary bumpers are blue and cyan while the moving ones are magenta, but in ''Mario Kart Tour'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', they all light in multiple colors. If the player lands on top of a bumper, they will perform a [[Jump Boost]].

In ''Mario Kart DS'', there are creme mounds in [[Tart Top]] that function like the bumpers, but with the added property of applying a pink icing to the player's screen.
