- description
- [[manufacturer:sega]]'s proprietary name for [[gameplay-feature:pop-bumpers]], the solenoid-driven [[gameplay-feature:active-bumpers]] that kick the ball away on contact. Sega adopted the "turbo bumper" branding during its brief stint as a pinball manufacturer in the 1990s, when it acquired the Data East pinball division and produced machines under the Sega Pinball label from 1994 to 1999. The mechanism itself — a ring-and-rod assembly beneath a mushroom cap fired by a skirt switch — is identical to the [[gameplay-feature:jet-bumpers]] and [[gameplay-feature:thumper-bumpers]] used by other manufacturers. When Stern Pinball succeeded Sega, the "turbo bumper" name fell out of use, making it the shortest-lived of the active bumper brand names.
