The '''''Balloon Fight'' universe''' ({{ja|バルーンファイト|Barūn Faito}}, ''Balloon Fight'') refers to the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series' collection of properties that hail from the ''Balloon Fight'' series of platformers developed and published by [[Nintendo]]. Originally released as a 1984 arcade game, later titles included an NES port and numerous sequels and rereleases. The series has constantly been referenced in numerous other Nintendo franchises such as {{uv|Game & Watch}} and {{uv|Wario}}. It has even had spin-offs starring [[Tingle]] and {{s|wikipedia|Hello Kitty}}.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''==
''Balloon Fight'' receives minor recognition in ''Melee''. The anonymous protagonist of the game, the Balloon Fighter, is a collectible trophy in ''Melee'', and the [[Flipper]] - an obstacle from ''Balloon Fight'' - is a usable [[item]] and as well as a trophy.  The original background music for ''Balloon Fight'' can also be heard in the [[Icicle Mountain]] stage as alternate music.

According to [[Smabura-Ken]], the Balloon Fighter was one of several characters [[Unused content (SSBM)#Characters|considered for inclusion]] as a playable character to represent the NES era; this role ultimately went to the [[Ice Climbers]].

===Item===
*'''[[Flipper]]''': An item similar in function to the [[Bumper]] that flips around when touched, causing damage and knocking back the target.

===Trophies===
;Flipper
:''Made famous as an unpredictable obstacle in Balloon Fight, the Flipper stops and hangs in midair when thrown. Any character who comes in contact with the bumper-balls on its ends will be knocked away as the Flipper spins wildly. Flippers can be a bit irksome: in Balloon Fight they caused accidents to friends and foes alike.''
{{Trophy games|game1=Balloon Fight (06/86)}}

;Balloon Fighter
:''The goal in Balloon Fight is to break your enemy's two balloons, depriving him of his flotation devices. If you lose one balloon, your buoyancy drops and it becomes harder to rise. As you can pop both friends' and enemies' balloons, you have to stay alert in this two-player fun fest. The balloonist's name is unknown.''

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
A ''Balloon Fight'' reference can be found in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. On the stage [[Summit]], a [[fish]] originating from the game appears when the summit of [[Icicle Mountain]] slides into the water. The fish is capable of eating any player unfortunate enough to be in the water at the time, dragging them off the screen and taking a life.

''Brawl'' also features a cover of the {{SSBBMusicLink|Nintendo|Balloon Trip}} music, also appearing on Summit, in [[My Music]].

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
The ''Balloon Fight'' universe sees a substantial boost in representation in ''Smash 4''.

{{clr}}

===Misc.===
*The {{SSB4|Villager}} uses the headgear from ''Balloon Fight'' in his [[up special move]], {{b|Balloon Trip|move}}. The balloons can be popped individually, and popping both causes the Villager to fall helplessly in a similar fashion to the Balloon Fighter when his own balloons are popped.
*The title screen appears when the gamepad in [[Gamer]] powers on.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
The ''Balloon Fight'' universe returns largely unchanged in ''Ultimate''.
