In the Modern version, [[Bowser]] throws colored water balloons at [[Toad]] and [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] (or, on Hard Mode, [[Luigi]], [[Yoshi]], and [[Wario]]). [[Mario]] must move them out of the way by moving the ropes. Additionally, [[Princess Peach]] and the others join later in the game. Occasionally, Bowser throws [[3-Up Moon]]s, and Mario earns two points for catching one. If he catches five 3-Up Moons without getting a miss, he knocks Bowser out of the tree, earning 20 points. When Mario reaches 100 points, a [[P Switch]] appears. He then activates it, causing the water balloons onscreen to turn into [[coin]]s, awarding him 10 points. The season changes every time the player gets 100 points. On Hard Mode, [[Waluigi]] appears. He attempts to move the ropes, making it difficult for Mario to protect his friends. When Mario accumulates 200, 500, and 700 points, a [[Lakitu]] appears and drops a [[1 UP Heart|heart]] for him to take to remove a miss. Unlike in the Classic version, music is featured, with the tempo changing depending on the speed of the game. | In the Modern version, [[Bowser]] throws colored water balloons at [[Toad]] and [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] (or, on Hard Mode, [[Luigi]], [[Yoshi]], and [[Wario]]).

A humorous sequence plays if the player selects the game yet does not actually start it. Specifically, Toad is trapped in a wicker basket on a rope as [[Spike Ball|Spiked Ball]]s are being dropped. Luigi, noticing that Toad is in danger and cannot get off, attempts to save Toad by pulling the rope. At that moment, however, Waluigi ends up arriving and noticing the commotion, and he ends up fighting Luigi for Toad. Just as he is doing so, a Spiked Ball hits Waluigi on the head, stunning him enough for Luigi to give a hefty pull that both sends Waluigi flying and has Toad landing safely in Luigi's arms. | A humorous sequence plays if the player selects the game yet does not actually start it.
