The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters. |
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted. |

Article on Wikipedia | Balloon Fight (universe) |
The Balloon Fight universe (バルーンファイト, 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 Game & Watch and Wario. It has even had spin-offs starring Tingle and 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 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.
- 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 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.
Stage (for Nintendo 3DS only)
- Balloon Fight (Unlockable): A level from the original Balloon Fight recreated as a new stage for Super Smash Bros. for 3DS. The stage includes the fish and Flippers as hazards, and like the classic game, players can walk off the stage and appear on the other side.
Music
- Balloon Fight Medley: A series of tunes taken from Balloon Fight that plays on the Balloon Fight stage in the 3DS version and the Wrecking Crew stage in the Wii U version.
- Balloon Trip: A new remix of the Balloon Trip music that plays as an alternate track on the Balloon Fight stage in the 3DS version and on the Duck Hunt stage in the Wii U version.
Masterpiece
Misc.
- The Villager uses the headgear from Balloon Fight in his up special move, Balloon Trip. 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.
Stage
Music
Returning Tracks
- "Balloon Trip (Brawl)": A remix of the theme of the Balloon Trip side mode from Balloon Fight. Returns from Brawl.
- "Balloon Fight Medley": A medley of tracks from Balloon Fight, including the opening theme from a 1 or 2-Player Game, the theme when an opponent’s balloons are popped, the theme of the bonus mode and Balloon Trip, the jingles that plays when the fish snatches somebody, after respawning, when the player collects a bubble, after completing a stage, after a game over, and when a character falls. Returns from Smash 4.
- "Balloon Trip (for 3DS / WiiU)": A chiptune-esque arrangement of the Balloon Trip theme from Balloon Fight, as well as the stage 1 theme from Balloon Kid. Returns from Smash 4.
