Bumper Balloon Cars is a Battle minigame in Mario Party 2 and a Free-for-All minigame in Mario Party Superstars. Its name is derived from "bumper cars."

Gameplay[edit]

This minigame is a game of survival. The players must try to pop each other's balloons with the sharp fronts of their cars. If a player collides with the wall or another player, they are briefly stunned. If no players are able to pop each other's balloons within 30 seconds, the minigame ends in a draw (although the game treats it as a win for everyone).
