Balloon Burst is a 2-vs-2 minigame in Mario Party 2 and Mario Party Superstars. In the former, it can be bought from Woody for 50 coins.

Overview[edit]

In the sky, each team stands on a metal platform with pumps on the front and a Bowser balloon behind. Each team uses their pump to inflate the Bowser balloons, with the goal of popping theirs first. Players can pump more air by pushing it down until it turns bloated red and then repeat the action. The height of the Bowser balloon indicates how much air has been pumped. When the balloon is about to burst, its face changes and, in Mario Party 2 only, turns red. The first team to burst their balloon wins, though if neither side does it on time, the minigame ends in a draw.

Controls[edit]

In-game text[edit]

Mario Party 2[edit]

  • Game Rules – "Press the A Button and Z Button Buttons alternately to pump the Bowser Balloon until it bursts! You can also use B Button instead of Z Button."
  • Game Rules (Mini-Game Coaster) – "Teams of two try to burst the Bowser balloon! If your team finishes first, you clear the game."
  • Advice – "Your pump will flash when it's full of air. You'll pump more air if the pump is full."

  • In-game description:
    • English:
      Pump air into the Bowser balloon until it pops! Pay attention to the gauge, and get in as much air as you can with each pump.
