TheBalloon Fighter[1] is the title given to the player character ofBalloon Fight. His only physical appearance in theSuper Mario franchise is in theWarioWare series. InBalloon Fight, the Balloon Fighter attempts to fly around using a pair of balloons on their helmet while dodging various obstacles and enemies that try to stop him. If he is hit, his balloons are popped and he is defeated.

History[edit]

Super Smash Bros. series[edit]

Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]

InSuper Smash Bros. Melee, the character has atrophy called Balloon Fighter. Its description mostly describes theBalloon Fight game, then ends on saying the character's name is unknown despite the trophy being called Balloon Fighter. They are described as a "balloonist", even though that word normally refers to people who operate hot air balloons.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]

InSuper Smash Bros. Brawl, the character has aSticker named Balloon Fighter, based on artwork from the cover ofBalloon Fight for theFamicom; inAdventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary the Balloon Fighter sticker can only be used onPit, giving him a boost of +4 to his weapon attacks.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U[edit]

Villager's Balloon Trip in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
Villager using Balloon Trip onMushroom Kingdom U inSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U. The helmet and balloons are red because this Villager is Player 1. Since the helmet and the balloons have the same color, Villager can never have the exact mismatched hat and balloons of the Balloon Fighter's sprites or the Balloon Fighter's artwork.

InSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U,Villager's up special move is Balloon Trip. The move is entirely a reference to the Balloon Fighter and the mechanics ofBalloon Fight. It starts with Villager putting on a helmet with a pair of balloons, just like the Balloon Fighter's gear. They are specified as being a "balloon hat" in North American releases,[2] but a "ballooned hat" in European releases.[3] Both items are color coded to match Villager's player number. This action causes a small upward boost. Then, for a limited amount of time, the player can drift through the air while their falling speed is reduced and/or hold the special move button to make Villager flap his arms and rise into the air. If the balloons take damage they are popped. Losing one balloon reduces the lift the move generates, and losing both balloons makes the move end early. Once time runs out, the balloons detach from the hat to fly up and off the screen, and the move ends. Alternatively, pressing the attack button makes the move end in this way. The move ending through the balloons detaching also grants a small upward boost. No matter how the move ends, Villager stops wearing the balloon hat. If it ended because Villager took damage, the balloons pop as though they got hit, but otherwise the balloons float away as normal.

Balloon Trip has two custom versions, Extreme Balloon Trip and Balloon High Jump, which change the mechanics in ways that make the moves less similar toBalloon Fight's mechanics, but retain the aesthetics. Extreme Balloon Trip cannot fly as high as Balloon Trip, but the balloons explode when popped. Instead of the attack button cancelling the move, it causes one balloon to pop. Further, when the balloons float away after the move ends through means other than taking damage, they pop after flying a short distance. Balloon High Jump replaces the normal movement mechanics of Balloon Trip with a high jump, after which the move ends immediately. It does not travel as high as Balloon Trip, but the balloons of this move deal damage as Villager rises.

Balloon Trip, as well as its custom versions, is a special move that makes the user fall helplessly when it ends in the air. Villager's animation for falling helplessly has him flailing his arms. If Villager is facing right when Balloon Trip ends, he faces the screen during this animation, otherwise he faces away from the screen. This animation, especially when Villager faces the screen, greatly resembles how the Balloon Fighter falls after losing their last balloon inBalloon Fight.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

InSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, Balloon Fighter appears as an Advanced class supportspirit. The spirit follows from the sticker in using artwork from the cover ofBalloon Fight's Famicom release. Its spirit battle has it as a shield opponent. The spirit battle has the player fight four blue male Villager puppet fighters on one of any of the three variations of the stageBalloon Fight. The Villagers can alljump higher than normal, and they have a preference for using Balloon Trip. The battle has a time limit of one minute and 30 seconds, which adds a complicating factor because of how Balloon Trip's mechanics can be used to evade the player. When equipped, Balloon Fighter increases the height of the fighter's jump.

Villager's Balloon Trip is present in this game, though with the removal of custom special moves for most fighters Extreme Balloon Trip and Balloon High Jump do not. Villager's animations are mirrored when facing left in this game, which makes his animation for falling helplessly always face the screen, increasing the resemblance to Balloon Fighter.Isabelle's up special move is also Balloon Trip, and it uses the same mechanics. However, it has unique animations where Isabelle sits on a swing set attached to two bunny balloons, the latter item being a variety of balloon distinctly from theAnimal Crossing series. As a result, Isabelle's Balloon Trip does not visually resemble Balloon Fighter. Isabelle also has a different animation for falling helplessly that is not based on Balloon Fighter.

WarioWare series[edit]

WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$![edit]

The Balloon Fighter inWarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!

The Balloon Fighter first appears inWarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!, where he appears in only onemicrogame9-Volt'sBalloon Fight microgame. He must continually fly while avoiding little sparkling fires and a fish at the bottom of the screen. As the microgame increases in difficulty, more lightning is placed in the sky for the Balloon Fighter to dodge.

WarioWare: Twisted![edit]

The Balloon Fight record

InWarioWare: Twisted!, the Balloon Fighter appears in9-Volt and18-Volt'sBalloon Fight microgame. Here, he is holding onto a rope, and the player must tilt a nearby balloon towards him so that he can grab onto it and start flying. The game's increases in difficulty make it more difficult to navigate the balloon to him. A souvenir appears, also titledBalloon Fight, that plays the microgame's music (which is a theme from the originalBalloon Fight).

WarioWare: Touched![edit]

InWarioWare: Touched!, another one of9-Volt and18-Volt's microgame based onBalloon Fight under the name ofBalloon Fight appears, and as a result, the Balloon Fighter appears again. In this microgame, the Balloon Fighter is being attacked by enemy balloon riders, and the player must tap on the enemies' balloons to defeat them. It is also possible for the player to tap on the Balloon Fighter's balloons, though doing so causes him to fall, concluding the microgame in a loss.

WarioWare: Smooth Moves[edit]

The Balloon Fighter appears inWarioWare: Smooth Moves, where he appears in only one microgame—9-Volt and18-Volt's microgameBalloon Fight (the same as the previous three microgames). This time, the microgame opts for 3D models instead of using the NES game's graphics. The gameplay emulates the original game, similar to the microgame inWarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!, only it takes place from a rear view perspective. The goal is for the Balloon Fighter to survive while avoiding the obstacles in the sky. A full minigame,Balloon Trip, also appears in the game, with the goal of obtaining a high score. This is done by reaching long distances, popping balloons, and avoiding more obstacles.

WarioWare: D.I.Y.[edit]

InWarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase, the Balloon Fighter appears in only one microgame—9-Volt's microgameB. Fight, which is the fifth microgame in theWarioWare series that is based onBalloon Fight. It is exactly like the microgame inWarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!, with the Balloon Fighter trying to keep his balloons from being popped.

WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase[edit]

It has been requested thatmore images beuploaded for this section. Remove this notice only after the additional images have been added.Specifics: Illustrate the Balloon Fighter's different appearance with a screenshot or sprite

The Balloon Fighter appears in the Music section ofWarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase whenever listening to music in theWario-Man Super Store. In this game, he has an older appearance with gray hair and a mustache. In Game Play, the player must make the Balloon Fighter fly into the notes to make the song play. Due to his size, playing the complete song is impossible. If the Balloon Fighter flies too close to the water, a fish pops up and attempts to eat him. Getting eaten by the fish, falling into the water, or flying into a spark causes him to respawn near the top of the screen. In Auto Play, the Balloon Fighter is gigantic and plays all the notes. The player can move him towards the left to decrease the tempo or move him right to increase the tempo, though he returns to the center of the screen when the player lets go.

Game & Wario[edit]

InGame & Wario, the Balloon Fighter appears in only oneminigame9-Volt and18-Volt'sGamer minigame. Gamer depicts either 9-Volt or 18-Volt, depending on the mode, playing a microgame-based video game calledBALLOON FIGHTER. Before, between, and after the microgames,BALLOON FIGHTER has aBalloon Fight-themed area where the Balloon Fighter flies. He starts on one island and begins flying to the right. Flying into a bubble pops that bubble to start a microgame. Finally, in non-endless levels,BALLOON FIGHTER and Gamer as a whole end when the Balloon Fighter lands on another island. In this game, the Balloon Fighter has four balloons instead of two, since, inBALLOON FIGHTER and Gamer, the number of balloons represents the number oflives the player has, with four being the standard number in theWarioWare series. As a result, losing a life causes one of the balloons to pop. The Balloon Fighter briefly drops down when this happens, but recovers and continues. Losing the last life causes the final balloon to pop and the Balloon Fighter to fall. In non-endless levels, the player earns 100 points for each balloon the Balloon Fighter has remaining after reaching the end of the level.

WarioWare Gold[edit]

The Balloon Fighter appears again inWarioWare Gold, where his only microgame appearance is in5-Volt'sBalloon Fight microgame. Set inBalloon Fight's bonus stage, the goal is to pop a certain number of balloons before time runs out. The Balloon Fighter must also avoid lightning in the microgame's third level of difficulty.

The Balloon Fighter also appears in theSneaky Gamer mode, which is a reimplementation of the Gamer minigame fromGame & Wario. He has the same role in Sneaky Gamer.

Super Mario Maker[edit]
