Bumper Balls

Bumper Balls is a very popular mini-game in Mario Party and Mario Party 2. In it, players roll around on personalized balls and try to bump each other off a platform. In Mario Party 2  there are three levels for the players to compete in and they each have different challenges.

Level One
Level One takes place on a platform surrounded by lava. It is a basic level.

Level Two
Level Two takes place on an icy mountain. In the middle is a Shy Guy frozen in ice. It can be very slippery on the mountain, so players must take care not to slide off.

Level Three
Level Three is on a floating isle in the ocean. Characters bumped off are carried away by Bloopers. The isle contains rocks and bumps which can change slightly the speed when rolling over them.

In the remake of the whole Mario Party series, Mario Party Micro, the minigame takes place on a single stage. In the introduction, the players hop on balls. They try to bump into each others' balls, and when one of the players is bumped onto the edge of the stage, he or she is 'knocked out'. The last player standing wins the game.
