'''Balloon Burst''' is a 4-Player [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party]]''.

==Overview==
Players each use a pump as they compete to pop their [[Bowser]] balloon first before time runs out. When a pump flashes, the player can push it down to release air until it turns bloated red. The size of a pump and the distance of the Bowser balloon above the ground indicates the amount of air sent to the balloon. The face of a balloon changes before burst. If time runs out before a player can pop their balloon, it is a draw, and all players appear tired.

The minigame is one of the [[Bowser Space]] events, '''Bowser Balloon Burst''', where the three losing players lose 10, 20, 30, 40, or 50 [[Coin]]s. If a draw occurs, all players lose the same number of Coins.

Balloon Burst can be bought from the [[Mini-Game House]] for 400 Coins.
