Balloon Trip (move)

Balloon Trip is Villager's up special move in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, based upon the "Balloon Trip" mode in Balloon Fight. Villager dons a hat that has two balloons on it, and can fly freely through the air. Holding the special move button causes Villager to fly up. After some time, the balloons automatically detach from the hat, causing Villager to fall in a helpless state; the player can also do this at any point during the move by pressing a standard attack button. Opponents can also attack Villager to pop the balloons; popping one decreases Villager's mobility and height gain, and popping both leaves him helpless as he falls.

Villager's first custom variant for this move is Extreme Balloon Trip, which cannot fly up as high but the balloons explode when popped, and can be individually popped by pressing the attack button; landing also causes the balloons to fly a short distance before popping. The second variant is Balloon High Jump, which causes Villager to jump up rather than fly; while the move does not give as much vertical distance, the balloons damage opponents on the way up.
