* The percentage-based damage system used by bumper cars strongly resembles a similar mechanic used for damage in the [[w:Super Smash Bros.|''Super Smash Bros.'']] series, where instead of losing health points and being KO'd upon depletion, a damage percentage is used, with higher percentages resulting in more knockback received, and the primary way of KOing opponents being to knock them off-stage.

Bumper Cars are an in-game feature introduced as part of Scream Fortress VI used as a part of the mini-games on Carnival of Carnage, and later the bumper car races on Gravestone. They are small team-colored vehicles with antennas on the back, controlled from a third-person perspective.

All classes while driving bumper cars share the same movement speed, do not take fall damage, cannot use weapons, and cannot strafe. A bumper car is only able to move forwards or backwards, jump into the air, and turn to each side. Pressing the alt-fire key (default key: MOUSE2) will cause the player to boost forward rapidly, unable to slow down until the boost has ended, or until colliding with a wall or enemy team player, upon which the player will be launched backwards.

A different damage system is used for bumper cars, using a percentage-based system instead of a health-based system. When driving into another player, the damage percentage will increase, and with it the amount of knockback a player will take from enemy bumper cars. Players are only able to kill each other by being knocked into an environmental hazard, with pitfall deaths using its own unique kill icon. Deceased players automatically become ghosts upon death, but may revive themselves by making contact with any living teammates.

Magic Spells

Main article: Magic spells

Unique to bumper cars are four magic spells that cannot otherwise be obtained or used.

  • B.A.S.E. Jump: Launches the spell user into the air, then activates a parachute like the one found in the B.A.S.E. Jumper, allowing the player to slowly descend to the ground. The spell can be cancelled mid-descent by pressing the jump button. If used near an enemy player, it will also launch them a short distance.

  • Boxing Rocket: Fires a large boxing glove a medium-range distance in the direction the bumper car is facing. Upon contact with an enemy, it applies a large amount of knockback and some damage.

  • Bomb Head: Places a bomb on the player's head, which deals 50% damage to the spell user and any nearby enemy players when exploding. It will explode when making colliding with an enemy player, or automatically after a set amount of time.

  • Overheal: Gives the spell user temporary invulnerability, and instantly heals 50% damage taken.
