Bumper



Bumpers are a kind of surface appearing in Splatoon and Splatoon 2.

Function
Bumpers can be found in several different stages of the single-player modes, Octo Valley and Octo Canyon. They are colored in the neutral color corresponding to the ink used by each team; for example, in a pink versus green match, bumpers will be colored cyan.

Bumpers cannot be covered in ink and are generally too tall to be jumped over, allowing them to serve as protective borders for Inklings and Octolings. However, slosher users can splash ink above the barriers while still remaining relatively safe.
