Balloon Panic
Balloon Panic is a minigame in Mario Power Tennis.
Overview[edit]
Set on DK Jungle Court, Balloon Panic involves protecting balloons from any Klaptraps. The player earns a point for any Klaptrap they hit three times. From slowest to fastest, Klaptraps are present in the green, red, and blue varieties; all of them follow an identically colored electric current, which can be changed by hitting a panel to send a Klaptrap to an empty space.
The difficulty levels are "Panic" (Easy), "Super Panic" (Normal), "Ultra-Hyper Panic" (Hard), and "Balloon Panic Challenge" (Bonus). "Panic" requires defeating 10 Klaptraps while defending two balloons; "Super Panic" is 20 Klaptraps and three blue balloons; "Ultra-Hyper Panic" is 30 Klatraps and four yellow balloons; and "Balloon Panic Challenge" is a variation with four green balloons that ends only when a balloon is popped. The New Play Control! release has four balloons in every difficulty setting and swaps red and yellow balloons between difficulty settings.
