Balloon Busters

It has been requested that this article be rewritten and expanded to include more information.

Template:Minigame-infobox Balloon Busters is a 4-Player Mic minigame in Mario Party 7.

Introduction

The last player blows into the balloon and runs behind the barrier as the first player steps up to take their turn.

Gameplay

The players must say "Bigger" into the microphone in order to inflate it. If a player isn't using the microphone, then he/she must press and choose either "Bigger" or "Stop" to either inflate the balloon or stop their turn.

They can do this up to five times per turn, however they can stop blowing after they've put in at least one breath. If the timer runs out, then the player automatically blows into the balloon as many times as they have remaining. When the balloon gets near bursting, the players will begin to cringe and the character who blows in will run much faster when their turn is over. The winner is the player who had their turn directly before the turn when the balloon burst.

Ending

The balloon explodes, sending the losers flying offscreen. The winner does their victory animation.

Controls
