Bumber 'Chutes are blue-and-white umbrellas in Yoshi's Story. Yoshis usually get the opportunity to obtain them when atop a large cliff. The umbrellas allow them to glide, thus also allowing them to collect floating coins and fruit. When a Yoshi gets a Bumber 'Chute, the player must press and hold 
to glide with it. The player uses the Control Stick to control the direction the Bumber 'Chute falls. When a Yoshi reaches the bottom of the cliff and enters a door or pipe, or uses a Miss Warp, the umbrella is dropped.
Profiles and statistics[edit]
- Nintendo Magazine : Le seul magazine officiel Nintendo 64: Le parapluie permet à Yoshi de planer, et de rejoindre des plates-formes haut perchées. Las, le balancement de ce deltaplane de fortune rend parfois les manœuvres délicates.[1] (The Umbrella allow Yoshi to glide, and to join somes high-perched platforms. Weary, the makeshift hang-glider's swing can sometimes makes maneuvering tricky)
