Mine was stolen, so memories of it are short but fun.

I never knew it existed until recently, but I was excited that Balloon Fight had a sequel all along. I played through it and had fun but I couldn't beat the last level.

Apparently it was only released in US and Europe. Japan got a Hello Kitty reskinned version on the Famicom called Hello Kitty World, then later they got a GBC version called Balloon Fight GB, where the girl became a really cute loli.

Yes I love balloon kid, apparently it is considered a bad game.
I loved it growing up.

I love Balloon kid but never see it discussed.
Would love to see it remade so it plays slightly smoother like Balloon fight on the NES.
There's a indie game on Steam/Switch that is supposedly like balloon kid called Balloon Girl but no idea if it's any good or not.

The loli design was in the original too, they just drew a much uglier girl on the American-made cover for some reason. The manual had the original Japanese art.

There's not much to discuss, it's a two hour long game. Balloon Fight with actual level design is a good idea though, and they should revisit it again.

>t. Never played past stage 3
It's ok, anon. Just stick to your cutscene heavy modern AAA games.

Looks like this is just an NES adaptation of Balloon Kid with swapped sprites. Interesting, nonetheless.

The 'long play' is only 40 minutes.

It is. But the original Balloon Kid wasn't released in Japan, so this is the version most nips played.
