Balloon Panic is a minigame in Mario Power Tennis. It takes place in DK Jungle Court.
Gameplay[]
The object is for the character to stop Klaptraps, which are climbing on a wooden board, from popping any DK balloons. There are three Klaptrap colors, from slowest to fastest: green, red, and blue. Every Klaptrap follows an electric current of the same color. To change it, one must hit a vine panel to divert a Klaptrap to an empty space. Hitting a Klaptrap three times causes it to fall off the board, and the player's character earns a point. The minigame ends once the character has hit knocked out the required number of Klaptraps.
Difficulty levels[]
The following are the difficulty levels and their conditions in the Nintendo GameCube version:
- Panic (Easy): Protect two red balloons from 10 Klaptraps.
- Super Panic (Normal): Protect three blue balloons from 20 Klaptraps.
- Ultra-Hyper Panic (Hard): Protect four yellow balloons from 30 Klaptraps.
- Balloon Panic Challenge (Bonus): Protect four green balloons from a horde of Klaptraps. The minigame continues only until a Klaptrap pops a balloon.
In the New Play Control! version, four balloons have to be protected from Klatraps, regardless of difficulty setting.
