| '''Throwing Balloons''' is a [[Mini Battle]] featured in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its reissue]]. A [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] and a [[Bandit]] toss a slowly expanding [[Balloon (Mini Battle)|balloon]] back and forth until it pops, deciding the loser and consequently the winner as well. Whenever the Yoshi receives the balloon, the correct buttons shown must be pressed in time to toss it back to the Bandit, which then attempts to do the same. There is a set time limit in which the buttons must be entered. If the Yoshi or the Bandit makes a mistake, the timer restarts. There is a total of three modes, with four, five, and six buttons featured respectively. If the Yoshi wins, he receives an item or one, two, or three [[extra life|extra lives]]. Using the [[cheat code]] from the [[world]] map unlocks a multiplayer version of the game in which the Bandit is controlled by a second player. | | '''Throwing Balloons''' is a [[Mini Battle]] from ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and its remake ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]''. In it, a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] has a contest with a [[Bandit]] to see who can win a crossover between Hot Potato and Simon Says, tossing a slowly expanding [[Balloon (Mini Battle)|balloon]] back and forth until it pops on the loser. The player must push the right buttons to throw the balloon back to the Bandit, and the Bandit will do the same. The player and the Bandit both have a set time limit in which they have to enter the buttons. If the player or the Bandit don't press all the buttons given, or make a mistake, the timer will restart again. There are three modes, the four-button mode, a challenging 5 button mode (only in the GBA port) and the difficult six-button mode. Also, if the player accesses the Mini Battle menu from the World Map (only in the SNES version), they can play a multiplayer version of the game, in which the second player will control the Bandit. If [[Yoshi]] wins, he will get an item, a "2-Up" (two extra lives), or a "3-Up" (three extra lives). |
