'''Balloon Burst''' is a 4-Player [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party]]''.
==Introduction==
The minigame is set in a dungeon with stone walls and golden columns in the corners. The players are shown behind their pumps with a [[Bowser]] balloon behind each of them.


==Gameplay==
==Overview==
Players must inflate their Bowser balloons by using the pumps in front of them within the time limit of at least 30 seconds. To pump the air properly, the players have to know how the pump reacts to their actions. When the pump flashes, the player should quickly pump it down until it turns bloated red, then pull it up. Each player can tell how much air they sent to their own balloon by the size of their pump and how high the Bowser balloon lifts itself. When it is close to bursting, the balloon's face starts to change. The first player who bursts the Bowser balloon wins. If time runs out before that happens, the players will appear tired and the minigame will end in a draw.
Players each use a pump as they compete to pop their [[Bowser]] balloon first before time runs out. When a pump flashes, the player can push it down to release air until it turns bloated red. The size of a pump and the distance of the Bowser balloon above the ground indicates the amount of air sent to the balloon. The face of a balloon changes before burst. If time runs out before a player can pop their balloon, it is a draw, and all players appear tired.


The minigame is also one of the results that can occur from landing on a [[Bowser Space]], an event known as '''Bowser Balloon Burst'''. The three players who lose the minigame lose 10, 20, 30, 40, or 50 [[Coin]]s. If a draw occurs, then all players will lose the same number of Coins.

Balloon Burst is a 4-Player minigame in Mario Party.

Overview[edit]

Players each use a pump as they compete to pop their Bowser balloon first before time runs out. When a pump flashes, the player can push it down to release air until it turns bloated red. The size of a pump and the distance of the Bowser balloon above the ground indicates the amount of air sent to the balloon. The face of a balloon changes before burst. If time runs out before a player can pop their balloon, it is a draw, and all players appear tired.

The minigame is one of the Bowser Space events, Bowser Balloon Burst, where the three losing players lose 10, 20, 30, 40, or 50 Coins. If a draw occurs, all players lose the same number of Coins.

Balloon Burst can be bought from the Mini-Game House for 400 Coins.

Controls[edit]

  • A Button – Push down pump
  • B Button or Z Button – Pull up pump
