Slow Glide (Balloon Glider in British English) is a General minigame from Mario Party: Island Tour.

Overview

This minigame has four players on gliders, flying through the air and popping balloons that are the same color of their glider. Each balloon is worth 1 point, but sometimes yellow balloons with a 3 on them appear, moving up and down, that give the player 3 points. Whoever has the most points at the end of the minigame wins.

In-game text

• Rules – American English - "Aim for the balloons, and pop as many as you can. If the gameplay becomes unstable, place the system on a flat surface to recalibrate. You can also press down on at any time to reset the sensor position to normal."
• Rules – British English - "Take to the air and pop as many balloons as you can.
  Note: Press down on to recalibrate the gyro sensor. If the in-game movements appear to be stilted, place the system somewhere stable and keep it still for a short time."

Naming

The American English name "Slow Glide", like in Snow Ride from Mario Party 7, is a pun on a song, "Slow Ride".
