Bump
- For other "Bump" stages, see Bump (disambiguation).
Bump is the 1st Advanced floor in (Super) Monkey Ball.
In Super Monkey Ball Deluxe, it is the 1st Advanced and 61st Ultimate stage in Challenge Mode, as well as World 2-14 in Story Mode.
In Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania, on top of its original position, it is also the 13th SMB1 Marathon stage.
Description
The stage consists of a rectangular platform with slightly raised edges, and a goal at the far end. There are four bananas in a diamond formation around the goal. Around 2/3 along the length of the platform is a short wooden plank, which serves as a "bump" that the player must roll over to reach the goal. As a variation of Plain, it is very similar to said stage, but with the guard rails removed and the bump added.
Strategy
As with Plain, this stage can be beaten by simply holding up. The bump will not affect the player's trajectory if going straight.
Reappearances
This stage is a more difficult version of Plain in Beginner, and an even more difficult version appears as Ruin in Expert. As for Bump itself, it has reappeared a few times throughout the series, namely:
- In Jr. as Advanced Floor 1
- In N-Gage as Advanced Floor 1
- In Touch & Roll as Mini Bump
