Recently, the game and its main protagonist has enjoyed an increasing amount of popularity, largely due in part to the release of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.  The anonymous man, who is officially referred to as "Balloon Fighter" in-game, was considered to be a playable character and representative of the NES era, but did not make it into the final version of the game, instead being edged out by the [[Ice Climbers]]. ''Balloon Fight'' still receives some attention in ''Melee'', however: [[Balloon Fighter (trophy)|Balloon Fighter]] is a collectable trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', and the [[Flipper]] - an obstacle from ''Balloon Fight'' - is a useable [[item]] and also a trophy.  The original background music for ''Balloon Fight'' can also be heard in the [[Infinite Glacier: Icicle Mountain|Icicle Mountain]] stage as alternate music.
 
Additionally, a ''Balloon Fight'' reference can be found in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. On the stage [[The Summit]], a fish originating from the game appears when the summit of [[Icicle Mountain]] slides into the water. It is not yet apparent as to exactly what effects the fish has during a battle.
