| ==Gameplay== | | ==Gameplay== |
| The players have to tap their trains to reverse the direction they go so that they do not pop their colored balloons. Each player has three trains and five balloons to watch. If a train gets near a balloon, its siren goes off. A train stops moving once it pops a balloon, but it starts moving again after five seconds. A burst balloon comes back after 10 seconds. A player cannot pop their opponent's balloons, as the player must pop their own first. Although the trains move at different speeds, they move faster the longer they avoid the balloons. The first player to pop three of their balloons loses. It is possible for the minigame to end in a tie. | | The players have to point their cursor at their trains, so that they will not pop their coloured balloons.
