A '''Bumper Ball''' is a large red ball that appears in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' with four blue arrows pointing on each side. These obstacles normally hook up with chain lines that appear on the screen. They also normally move at the left or right side of the wall. If a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] bumps into one, the Yoshi will be bounced back. Additionally, some Bumper Balls are designed to move fast to bounce back the Yoshi hard. In some cases, the Yoshis can use these objects to reach a higher part of the area in the level. These obstacles can't be destroyed by throwing a [[Yoshi Egg]] or [[Ground Pound]]ing on them. Bumper Balls appear in several levels and can cause a loss of life if hit from the underside.
