Balloonatic (minigame)

Balloonatic is a 1-Vs.-3 mini-game in Mario Party 7. The mini-game's name is a pun that comes from the words "Balloon" and "Lunatic".. The opening cinematic shows the solo player flying towards the boat, while the team of three are firing their cannons at the solo player (though none of the cannon balls actually hit the solo player). The goal of the game for the solo player is to last thirty seconds against the onslaught of cannon balls that are being fired by the team of three. The goal for the team of three is to down the solo player by using cannons. The solo player flies a hot-air balloon, while the team of three fire their cannons from a boat at sea. The ending cinematic for the solo player shows them landing safely on a small island, while the ending cinematic for the team of three shows them celebrating, with the solo player is shown being carried off by the water.
