The timer counts down from ten seconds while pumping a balloon. The goal is to ground-pound the platform as close to 0:00 seconds as possible. The player who is closer to 0:00 seconds is the winner. The losing player's timer changes to XX:XX, and their balloon bursts, sending them flying offscreen. Additionally, if either player fails to ground-pound before the timer hits zero, their timer shows XX:XX.

If both players stop the timer at the exact time, or fail to ground-pound before the timer hits zero, the mini-game ends in a draw. In this case, both timers change to XX:XX, and both balloons burst before "DRAW" appears on the screen.
