A '''Mini Battle''',<ref>European ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3'' instruction booklet, page 11.</ref> also referred to as '''Mini Battle Game'''<ref>''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' instruction booklet, page 20.</ref> or '''Mini-Battle'''<ref>''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3'' instruction booklet, page 25.</ref> (alternatively '''mini-battle'''<ref>Miller, Kent and Munson, Terry. 1995. ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island Player's Guide'', page 14.</ref> or '''Minibattle'''<ref>Williams, Drew. ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3'' Player's Guide. Page 15.</ref>), is a battle with a [[Bandit]] in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and its remake ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]''. A [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] will fight a Bandit in one of four battles, either [[Throwing Balloons]], [[Popping Balloons]], [[Watermelon Seed Spitting Contest]], or [[Gather Coins]]. They are fought in certain levels after a Yoshi gets a [[key]] to the Bonus Game shack. Later, they can be played on the level selection screen.  

In [[Sluggy The Unshaven's Fort]], if the player goes to the left door, and defeats the [[Chain Chomp]] inside of it, they will find a secret door. A [[Message Block]] in this room will say the following:

hold {{button|snes|select}} and press {{button|snes|X}}, {{button|snes|X}}, {{button|snes|Y}}, {{button|snes|B}} and {{button|snes|A}}!! (This code is changed to {{button|gba|L}}, {{button|gba|L}}, {{button|gba|B}}, {{button|gba|A}} and {{button|gba|R}} in ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'')

If the player does so, a screen will pop up listing all the Mini Battles, along with a 2-player version of Watermelon Seed Spitting Contest and a 4-button Throwing Balloons mode. In single-player, Throwing Balloons can either be played in 4 button mode or the harder 6 button mode.

In ''Super Mario Advance 3'', the 2 player Mini battles were removed, and a 5 button version of Throwing Balloons was included instead.

In ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', the [[Ground-Pound Pop]] minigame is based on the Popping Balloons Mini Battle.
