Balloon Burst, (called クッパふうせん Kuppa Fūsen in Japan), is a 4 player minigame appearing in the first Mario Party and a 2 vs. 2 in Mario Party 2. This minigame is also featured as one of the possible ones in Mario Party on the Bowser Space. Whichever three lose have a range from ten to fifty of their coins lost.

Gameplay[]

In this minigame, the player (or their teammate depending on the game) all have a Bowser balloon on which they must pump up quickly until popping their Bowser balloon. Their pumps may turn red, meaning all four (or two teams) must be on hiatus for a moment and then return to pumping their Bowser balloons. This must be done in 30 seconds.
