This minigame features two different modes: "Hide It" mode and "Find It" mode. In "Hide It" mode, the player has thirty seconds to hide a balloon somewhere in the kingdom. The player can choose to place the balloon before the time runs out or they can restart to try and find a different hiding spot. However, players cannot place a balloon high in midair or above pits and instead the balloon will be placed as close as possible to where the player tried to hide it. In "Find It" mode, the player has a set amount of time to find a balloon hidden in a kingdom. To help the player, there is an arrow pointing to the direction of where the balloon is located as well as a meter counter that will decrease or increase depending on how close or far the player is from the balloon. Collecting three [[Coin]]s while either hiding or finding balloons will increase the timer by one second. The player cannot enter into different areas that require warping in either modes and will return to the main area with [[Cappy]] saying they can't because they're in the middle of a game. | This minigame features two different modes: "Hide It" mode and "Find It" mode.

Balloon World also features a ranking system, which shows the statistics of the player, such as how many Coins they received and how many balloons they found in a row. The player's rank is represented by stars, which are awarded for each objective that is completed. Each time the player ranks up, they receive a sum of Coins; the higher rank they become, the more Coins are awarded. For every 10 stars collected, [[Luigi]], will gain new balloons for his case. At first, he only has a red balloon, but at 10 stars, he gains a blue balloon. At 20, he gains a yellow balloon, at 30, he gains a green balloon, and at 40, he gains a purple balloon. | Balloon World also features a ranking system, which shows the statistics of the player, such as how many Coins they received and how many balloons they found in a row.

If all 50 stars are earned, Luigi's balloons become golden and begin to sparkle, similar to how the Odyssey's sail turns gold and shiny after collecting all 880 [[Power Moons]]. | ||
The player earns stars in 5 sections. In Find It, there is a section for the number of coins collected, the number of balloons popped, and balloons popped in a row. In Hide It, there is a section for coins collected and the number of tries other people take to find your balloons. | |||
If online, a alert shows up if other people tries to find your balloons (green border), if one of your balloons is popped (red border), or when a "Kingdom Coin Increase" event goes on (black border). The player can switch them off in the Options Menu if they wish. If an attempt is made while online and not in Balloon World, they will automatically earn their coin payment, the user who made the attempt, and then if they popped it or not. | |||
The balloons used in this minigame have images of the player's [[Nintendo Switch]] profile icons. Additionally, the time of day and weather in some kingdoms change when playing this minigame, such as the [[Cascade Kingdom]] taking place at night and the [[Metro Kingdom]] taking place during a rainstorm. | The balloons used in this minigame have images of the player's [[Nintendo Switch]] profile icons.
