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 [[Inkling]]s and [[Octoling (playable)|Octolings]]. However, [[Slosher (weapon class)|slosher]] users can splash ink above the barriers while still remaining relatively safe.

In [[Octo Canyon]], Bumpers can be destroyed, but only if they are crushed by large [[Octarian]] machines, namely the [[Octoseeker]] and the [[Octostamp DX]]. When a Bumper is destroyed, it gives out no [[Power Egg]]s, and lets out a sharp popping noise that is similar to but not exactly the same as that of a popped [[Balloon]] or [[Squid Bumper]].

Concept art of two different shapes of bumper.
This article is about the non-splattable objects used as barriers. For the splattable objects used to test weapons, see Squid Bumper.

Bumpers are a type of surface appearing in the Splatoon series.

Function

Bumpers can be found in several different multiplayer stages in Splatoon, Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3 as well as missions from the single-player modes, Octo Valley, Octo Canyon, Octo Expansion and Return of the Mamallians. 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.

In Octo Canyon, Bumpers can be destroyed, but only if they are crushed by large Octarian machines, namely the Octoseeker and the Octostamp DX. When a Bumper is destroyed, it gives out no Power Eggs, and lets out a sharp popping noise that is similar to but not exactly the same as that of a popped Balloon or Squid Bumper.

Another type of bumper appears in the Octo Expansion. These bumpers can only be destroyed when an 8-ball collides with one. Some levels, such as B07 Fly 8-Ball Station and C07 Totally 8-Ball Station, are designed around the 8-ball bumpers.
