-''Balloon Trip'' takes its inspiration from the events of <i>[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]</i>, following [[Baby Mario]] as he plummets towards [[Yoshi's Island (place)|Yoshi's Island]] after being knocked away from the [[Stork]] by [[Kamek]]. Three balloons hold Baby Mario aloft in the air, though touching an [[List of enemies|enemy]] removes one of these balloons. If Baby Mario loses all three balloons, he will be abducted by Kamek. The player uses the [[stylus]] to draw clouds across the sky to guide Baby Mario away from enemies and draw circles around enemies to encase them in bubbles, turning them into [[coin]]s. (Later on, in ''Yoshi Touch & Go'', these bubbles could be dragged and thrown with the stylus, though it is unknown whether such a feature existed in ''Balloon Trip''.) The goal of the game is to earn points by collecting as many coins as possible.

 If Baby Mario survives the skies for a set amount of time, he will eventually find his way to the ground, where he will be caught by [[Yoshi]] and the player will be congratulated for their score, ending the demo.<ref>Harris, Craig (May 11, 2004).

-Most of <i>Balloon Trip</i>'s basic gameplay would survive into ''Yoshi Touch & Go'', with the most obvious difference between the two games being the addition of the automatically scrolling ground segments, wherein Yoshi protects Baby Mario, which did not exist in ''Balloon Trip''. Smaller differences between the two games include the relocation of [[Fang]]s, which appear in the sky in ''Balloon Trip'', to the ground segments only of ''Yoshi Touch & Go'', and the removal of <i>Balloon Trip</i>'s [[Boo]] enemy (replaced in ''Yoshi Touch & Go'' with [[Solo Toady|Solo]] [[Toady|Toadies]]). The final game featured new sprites and animations for most characters, as well as a new {{wp|Head-up display|HUD}}.

 Most of <i>Balloon Trip</i>'s sounds were used in the final ''Yoshi Touch & Go'' without any changes.
