History lesson--2001 had a bump. The trick there was you also had to go under a limbo bar to cross it--or use the tipping bridge (which wasn't self-leveling). 1999 also had a vertical bump, but it was mobile and more of a platform than a bump...

I think of this game as taking Aim High, using the Breakaway ball handling rules, reorienting and splitting the targets, and then adding the barrier and bridge from Diabolical Dynamics (2001) with a couple extra bridges.
