Bumper Cars
Bumper Cars is a playable attraction on the Plaza's boardwalk. Much like its real-life equivalent, players compete to earn points by bumping into each others' cars.
Gameplay
Bumper Cars starts after two players have queued up; after the round starts, other players can join in mid-round. Each game is 1 minute and 30 seconds long.
Points
In Bumper Cars, players earn points by hitting opponents' cars. Bumps to the back of a car ('Back Bumps') are worth 150 points, bumps to the side ('Side Bumps') are worth 200, and a bump that doesn't count as a Back or Side bump is worth 100 points. Bumps occasionally won't reward points, although it's unclear what causes this.
After the game has concluded, your final score is converted into Units on top of a 250-Unit 'Thanks for Playing' bonus. Unlike many other competitive games, there is no bonus for placement (2nd, 3rd, 4th or below, etc.).
Controls & Dashing
The cars move somewhat slowly, but pressing space will cause them to quickly dash forward. There is a cooldown between dashes, indicated by a green/red circular recharge bar at the bottom-center of the screen.
Health
Each player has 200 HP, represented as a line of 10 bars below the dash recharge ring in the bottom-center region of the HUD. Successfully bumping opponents deals 15 damage.
At the last two bars of health (~40 and below), the damaged player's car will begin to move slower and smoke will billow out from the back. If a car is knocked down to its minimum health (1), there is no penalty and its health will reset to full after roughly 2 seconds.

Customization & Upgrade Store
Players can change the color of their bumper car for free. The color of the exterior, interior, and headlights are all separately customizable. Besides changing colors, players can also purchase four types of cosmetic upgrade which can be mixed and matched: Paintjobs, Antenna Toppers, Horns, and Lights. The upgrade store for Bumper Cars is located in front of the Bumper Cars arena.
A full list of upgrades can be seen in a public item spreadsheet and the table below.

Trivia
- In version 0.17.11.0, Bumper Cars' original player cap of 8 was not enforced, potentially allowing a full Plaza server to play Bumper Cars at the same time.
- The player cap was increased to 12 in the patch that fixed this.
- Besides pressing on the floating queue screen, you can also walk into the arena and enter one of the Bumper Cars to queue for a game.
