The Bumper Car Hippo is the ninth hippo. It was first released as a part of the Third Anniversary Event.
Appearance[]
The Bumper Car Hippo is mostly pink, with its body largely resembling a dodgem or bumper car. Its ears and a small section around its eyes are coloured red, as are all of its legs and the lower half of its torso and head. The pink and red sections are separated by a thick white line. A bulbous black bumper bar surrounds the majority of the Bumper Car Hippo's body. At the front, the Bumper Car Hippo has yellow headlights replacing a hippo's usual nostrils, while at the back, the Bumper Car Hippo has two red taillights as well as a black antenna with a red cube on top. The Bumper Car Hippo also features a black steering wheel just in front of where the player sits, and a square opening similar to a bumper car.
