==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
In Balloon of Doom, each player tries to inflate a balloon with [[Bowser]]'s picture on as much as possible without making the balloon explode. If a player happens to burst the balloon, Bowser becomes angry and uses his [[Fire Breath|fiery breath]] on that player, resulting in a loss for that player. Each player has a turn to stomp on the balloon pump to inflate the balloon. Higher [[Ground Pound|Ground Pounds]] pump more air into the balloon, so players can manipulate how much air they wish to pump into it.
