Balloon Burst is a 2-vs-2 minigame in Mario Party 2 and Mario Party Superstars.
Introduction
The minigame is set in the sky. Each team is standing on a metal platform with barometers on the front and a Bowser balloon behind.
Gameplay
Teams must inflate their Bowser balloons by using the pumps in front of them within the time limit of at least 30 seconds. To pump the air properly, the players have to know how the pump reacts to their actions. When the pump flashes, the player should quickly pump it down until it turns bloated red, then pull it up. Each player can tell how much air they sent to their own balloon by the size of their pump and how high the Bowser balloon lifts itself. When it is close to bursting, the balloon's face starts to change. The first team) who bursts the Bowser balloon wins. If time runs out before that happens, the players will appear tired and the minigame will end in a draw.
The minigame can be purchased from Woody for 50 coins
