What's the BOOM pop bumper for?

I like the uniqueness of a bumper popping up from below, but what's the point of it? The points it garners isn't very high, and one has to hit it quite a lot to get the extra ball. What else does it do?

The BOOM! value slowly grows throughout the entire course of the game, and at the end of the wizard mode is a Party Multiball where, among other things, all three bumpers score the full BOOM! value. Toss two or three balls in the pops during this point and have them rattle back and forth a bit, and even with a low base value, your score is going to skyrocket.

Otherwise, it's just there for the extra ball and to look pretty. Sort of like Neon Multiball. :p

Okay, so I'm not missing anything. It really is as shallow a feature as I thought.

It's also a great feature to make balls that happen to travel over the bumper as it deploys to smash into the playfield glass and scare the living frack out of you. ;)
