## Obstacle description

Donut bumpers, also known as Pillars in the code and referred to as Bollards in the last Time is Kudos show, appear as moving or static obstacles that cause the player to bounce off when they are hit, which can cause the player to fall behind. They can appear in various colours as a stack of donuts. They are present in a lot of Rounds, but most of the time their presence does not heavily affect the gameplay.

These donut bumpers don't move at all. They can be found in Tundra Run, The Slimescraper, Pegwin Pool Party etc.

**Moving (Forward and Backward):**

These donut bumpers will move in a straight line from one location to another. They may or may not pause at each point. You can see where it will move by looking at the ground; there will be a yellow line, and it will move on that line. They can be found in Door Dash, Fall Mountain, Slime Climb, etc.

**Rotating:**

These donut bumpers will rotate in a circle. You can see where it will move by looking at the yellow line on the floor (it is not visible in the last section of Treetop Tumble). These can be found in Treetop Tumble, Pegwin Pool Party, and Lost Temple.

**Rotating (With A Ring):**

These donut bumpers will rotate with a ring in Roll Off, Roll On, and Roll Out.

### Airtime

Many donut bumpers can be found in Airtime, all of them being an obstacle to knock the player down.

### Door Dash

In Door Dash, these obstacles may appear in an alternate version, starting from the second row of doors. In this case, there are multiple bumpers moving on their rails, obstructing the players trying to find the right door. If a player hits them, it will result in an annoying bounce that can disrupt the player from his goal, allowing other players to pass him.

### Egg Scramble

An alternate version of Egg Scramble has some bumpers moving in the arena, slowing the players' work.

### Egg Siege

An alternate version of Egg Siege has moving bumpers near the centre where the eggs are. These bumpers can also appear on the edge as color dividers.

### Fall Mountain

As a variation in the Season 1 (Legacy) mid-season update, moving bumpers were added to Fall Mountain. They hamper the players near the crown (and the victory). They also have a chance to intercept balls, though luckily the balls de-spawn after a while.

### Full Tilt

Several donut bumpers can be found on top of 360 See Saws in Full Tilt, where they rotate around the center of the see saw in a circle.

### Gate Crash

In Gate Crash, these obstacles have the same function that they have in Door Dash. They are also present in the standard version of the game. The player has to find the right timing to pass when the gates are down, and the bumpers can annoy the player by making him lose his balance.

As of Season 5.fun, Gate Crash may also feature large donut bumpers orbited by smaller donut bumpers that are evenly arranged in a circle around it in-between the rows of gates.

### Hit Parade

In Hit Parade, the bumpers appear in the final section of the standard version. They move slowly but are present in a massive number in the last uphill slime section. They also appear in different colours. Being hit by one may cause a loss of balance and the player may bounce backward, and with the slime road, it could end in disaster.
Before the Season 1 (Legacy) mid-season update, the bumpers would not reach all the way toward the edges, allowing the players to simply bypass all risk on the sides.

### Hoarders

Moving bumpers are present in an alternate version of Hoarders, to knock the balls and make them go in an undesired direction. They also disturb the players who accidentally bump into them, adding chaos to the game.

### Jinxed

In Jinxed, coloured bumpers are present to obstruct players in their escape. They move slowly and they are present in a relatively untraversed area, so the player should not be greatly affected by them.

### Knight Fever

One alternate version of the game Knight Fever has moving bumpers in the downhill slime section. This variation was introduced in the Season 2 (Legacy) mid-season update.

### Lost Temple

Donuts bumpers are among the many different obstacles that can show up in the rooms of Lost Temple.

### Party Promenade

Two stationary bumpers can be found following the 360 See Saws in the second section of Party Promenade.

### Pegwin Pool Party

On Pegwin Pool Party a small island contains a large donut pillar surrounded by four smaller ones that orbit it.

### Pipe Dream

A set of moving and rotating donut bumpers can be found on the left platforms of the second and fourth sections of Pipe Dream, respectively.

### Rock 'N' Roll

The standard version of Rock 'n' Roll has five tall, team-coloured bumper towers in each section of the first portion of the round, where the teams have to make the ball roll through obstacles faster than the other teams to gain precious time.
An alternate version of Rock 'n' Roll also has moving bumpers in the last downhill section. The bumpers randomly hit the balls and can knock them backward, giving another team a chance to win. An alternate version of the game presents one extra red bumper for each section before and after the tower section (the last one before the drop), to add difficulty to the objective.

### Roll Off, Roll On, & Roll Out

Static bumpers are present in the game Roll Out to annoy and distract players, whilst trying to survive. You can also use these as a blockade for incoming fruits.

### Ski Fall

Starting from the Season 3 (Legacy) mid-season update, Ski Fall has a variation that includes donut bumpers that can be found after the first rings wheels, making it harder to navigate.

### Skyline Stumble

Starting in Season 4.5 Dave, The platforms in the first section of Skyline Stumble may feature Bumpers that move sideways on top of them. In a different variant, added in the same update, six Donut Bumpers may show up on the slime slope right after the force-field maze.

### Slime Climb

In Slime Climb, these obstacles are present in the conveyor belt section, moving on rails and disrupting players that try to avoid them. If they hit the obstacles in the direction of the conveyor belt, it will result in an almost certain fall to the underneath section. They are also present in the last slime section before the final pendulums, with the same role.

### Speed Circuit

Speed Circuit features many donut bumpers along most of the path. As usual, they cause players to bounce off of them, possibly knocking them down.

### Speed Slider

Speed Slider features several donut bumpers along the course, particularly in the more challenging paths (like the ones behind the spinning blade).

### Sweet Thieves

Several static Donut Bumpers are spread around Sweet Thieves. These are colored pink. Furthermore, four moving Donut Bumpers are located on a corridor leading to one of the candy spawn points. These are colored blue.

### The Slimescraper

The Slimescraper has got a lot of bumpers, both static and moving. Some static bumpers are placed in the slimy sections where the players could fall. Moving ones are placed in a lot of places to add difficulty. As of Season 5.fun, the light swingers on Ramp 6 may be replaced by several donut bumpers that move rapidly along the path.

### Track Attack

Donut Bumpers are present at several points of the lower section of Track Attack, presenting an extra challenge for players.

### Treetop Tumble

Bumper Donuts are arranged in circles throughout Treetop Tumble. One such set is found immediately after the first water section on the lower path, rotating in alternate directions (clockwise and counterclockwise). Following that, two unique "donut wheels" can be found on the upper path, close to the Beams and Expanding Frogs. Finally, a set of spinning donuts can be found around the last Spinning Plate, just before the finish line.

As of Season 5.fun, the first slime slope may have donut bumpers instead of the usual Rotating Hammers. The orbiting donut bumpers may also be rotating in the opposite direction.

### Tundra Run

Tundra Run has some donut towers on the icy paths beside the section with the punching gloves.

## Specialty Bumpers

Not all bumpers are the same! There exist round-specific bumpers that don't look the same as their donut counterparts, but contain the same properties of donut bumpers.

### Knight Fever

The second section of Knight Fever has players traversing through logs riddled with pink spikes that circle around. Though there are 5 spiked-filled logs, a player is only required to pass through 2.

### Starchart

After passing a few platforms in Starchart, asteroid-shaped bumpers start appearing. Asteroids are small, grey rock formations that glow purple and trail star-shaped particles of pink and blue. These asteroids circle in pairs counterclockwise around platforms. The three final platforms right before the finish line do not include asteroids.
