This minigame features two different modes: "Hide It" mode and "Find It" mode. In "Hide It" mode, the player has thirty seconds to hide a balloon somewhere in the kingdom. The player can choose to place the balloon before the time runs out or they can restart to try and find a different hiding spot. However, players cannot place a balloon high in midair or above pits and instead the balloon will be placed as close as possible to where the player tried to hide it. In "Find It" mode, the player has a set amount of time to find a balloon hidden in a kingdom. To help the player, there is an arrow pointing to the direction of where the balloon is located as well as a meter counter that will decrease or increase depending on how close or far the player is from the balloon. Collecting three [[Coin]]s while either hiding or finding balloons will increase the timer by one second. The player cannot enter into different areas that require warping in either modes and will return to the main area with [[Cappy]] saying they can't because they're in the middle of a game. | This minigame features two different modes: "Hide It" mode and "Find It" mode.
