==History==
===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', Balloon Fighter is given a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]], which mostly covers the ''Balloon Fight'' game, and this is also the first game where he is named "Balloon Fighter". In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', there is a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Sticker]] of Balloon Fighter, based on artwork from the cover of ''Balloon Fight'' for the [[Family Computer|Famicom]]; in {{iw|smashwiki|Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary}} the Balloon Fighter sticker can only be used on [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Pit|Pit]], giving him +4 to his weapon attacks. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Balloon Fighter appears as an advanced support [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]], who grants fighters with increased jumping abilities.

Balloon Fighter first appears in ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'' in the [[Balloon Fight (WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!)|Balloon Fight]] microgame. He must continually fly while avoiding little sparkling fires and a fish at the bottom of the screen. As the microgame increases in difficulty, more lightning is placed in the sky for Balloon Fighter to dodge.

Another microgame based on ''Balloon Fight'' appears in ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'', again titled [[Balloon Fight (WarioWare: Touched!)|Balloon Fight]], and as a result, Balloon Fighter appears again. In this microgame, Balloon Fighter is being attacked by enemy balloon riders, and the player must tap on the enemies' balloons to defeat them. It is also possible for the player to tap on Balloon Fighter's balloons, though doing so causes him to fall, failing the microgame.

Balloon Fighter appears in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'' in the microgame titled [[Balloon Fight (WarioWare: Smooth Moves)|Balloon Fight]] (the same as the previous three microgames). This time, the microgame does not use the NES game's graphics and instead opts for 3D models. The gameplay emulates the original game, similar to the microgame in ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!'', only it takes place from a rear view perspective. The goal is for Balloon Fighter to survive while avoiding the obstacles in the sky. A full minigame, [[Balloon Trip (minigame)|Balloon Trip]], also appears in the game, with the goal of obtaining a high score. This is done by reaching long distances, popping balloons, and avoiding more obstacles.

Balloon Fighter appears in the Music section of ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase]]'' whenever a track is played.
Balloon Fighter appears in the Music section of ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase]]'' whenever listening to music in the [[Wario-Man Super Store]]. In this game, he has an older appearance with gray hair and a mustache. In Game Play, the player must make Balloon Fighter fly into the notes to make the song play. Due to his size, playing the complete song is impossible. If Balloon Fighter flies too close to the water, a fish pops up and attempts to eat him. Getting eaten by the fish, falling into the water, or flying into a spark causes him to respawn near the top of the screen. In Auto Play, Balloon Fighter is gigantic and plays all the notes. The player can move him towards the left to decrease the tempo or move him right to increase the tempo, though he returns to the center of the screen when the player lets go.
