Bobbing Bow-loons

Bobbing Bow-loons is an item minigame that is found during the events of the Nintendo 64 game Mario Party 3.

Introduction
The minigame takes place up in the skies, where the stone towers appear in the background, along with moving clouds at the bottom and bright rainbows. The sky is entirely made up of bricks painted blue from dark to bright. The player is prepared as they are hovering with the balloon attached to them. As the player prepares to use the bow, gusts of wind are heard, and then the minigame starts.

Gameplay
The player's objective is to shoot one of the balloons that contains an item within the time limit of ten seconds. The row of balloons move vertically with different speeds. The value of the item varies, with a rare item behind the row of balloons and a common item in front of the player. If the player pops a balloon with their arrow, they will receive the item from the balloon the player popped.

However, if the time limit reaches zero or the player entirely misses the whole row of balloons, the arrow will instead bounce off the stone tower and pop the player's own balloon. Baby Bowser will then appear in the window of one of the other stone towers and laugh at the player's loss (with a slight camera pan towards said stone tower). The player will get nothing.
