Balloon Racing: Difference between revisions

'''Balloon Racing''' is a one-to-four-player Action [[minigame]] featured in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''. Like several other minigames, Balloon Racing uses a variation of the [[Super Star|Starman]] background music. The minigame takes place outside of [[Peach's Castle]], andspecifically appearsits toappearance be based onwithin ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. A few rainbows are featured within the upper area of the course.

In multiplayer, the gameplay is similar, although players must compete to reach the top first. Aside from a Green Yoshi, each other player controls a [[Red Yoshi]], a [[Yellow Yoshi]], and a [[Blue Yoshi]], respectively, much like in ''Super Mario 64 DS''{{'}}s [[VS. Mode]]. Just as Green Yoshi starts off with two balloons with his color, the other Yoshis also begin with two balloons of their color. If a player's Yoshi loses all of their balloons, they are eliminated. If none of the Yoshis reach the top, then the one who traveled up the farthest is the winner. If everyone's balloons pop, the minigame ends in a draw. The multiplayer variation of Balloon Racing has an adjustable difficulty, with higher difficulty settings featuring more Fly Guys.

*'''Single player:''' ''"Blow into the Mic to send Yoshi flying skyward. Yoshi's balloons will burst if he hits a FlyShy Guy. If all the balloons pop, Yoshi will fall. Can you reach the goal before time runs out?"''

*The in-game instructions for the Multiplayer variation of theBalloon gameRacing erroneously refers to the Fly Guys as [[Shy GuysGuy]]s.

*Although Red Yoshi does not appear in the single-player version of Balloon Racing, he is still shown on the minigame menu icon in single-player mode. Furthermore, the icon shows the Red Yoshi's head spines and saddle being red whereas its minigame sprites instead depicts both as dark blue.
