p3 bouncer is a colour-changing glider reflector constructed by Matthias Merzenich in October 2025 based on a partial by James Pascua[1] in May 2021.[2]. It has minimum repeat time 24 ticks; attempting a p21 stream turns it into p63. It is a constellation containing a p3 oscillator, a boat, a block, and a caterer. For colour-preserving glider reflectors see p3 bumper and the stable Snark reflector.
The form shown in the infobox is a reduced form discovered by iNoMed on the same day using a different sparker.
