Balloon Trip (バルーントリップ, Balloon Trip) is Villager's up special move in Super Smash Bros. 4.
Overview
When activating this move, Villager will put on a hat similar to the one worn by the Balloon Fighters in Balloon Fight. Villager can then fly around the stage for a short period of time to recover by using the two attached balloons; holding the special move button can also make him increase height. After a few seconds, the balloons will both dissociate from Villager, leaving him helpless; this state can also be manually performed if the player presses a standard attack button. Opponents can potentially pop balloons that Villager spawns; popping one balloon significantly impairs Villager's potential vertical height, and popping both balloons causes Villager to immediately become helpless.
Customization
Customization was added in Super Smash Bros. 4. These are the two variations:
- Extreme Balloon Trip: Travels more slowly. Pressing the attack button will make the balloons explode one by one. Exploding both the balloons will cause Villager to rise into the air and go into his helpless state. If Villager lands with one or both balloons intact, they will fly off in either direction and explode shortly after.
- Balloon High Jump: A big jump with significant vertical recovery. The balloons vanish after use and cannot be used for flight. Damages foes on the way up.
Extreme Balloon Trip's first explosion damages King Dedede.
When the second balloon explodes, Villager is launched upwards.
Balloon High Jump damages Meta Knight during ascent.

Origin
While the Balloon Fight Hat never makes an appearance in Animal Crossing, the game does. In the GCN version of Animal Crossing, the player can obtain the Balloon Fight Retro Game from Tom Nook's store, Crazy Redd's, or underground. The game can then be placed in the player's house and played.
Red balloons like those in the move also appear in Animal Crossing. One balloon will fly over the town every hour, and the player can use the slingshot to pop these balloons and release a present. Villager's balloons can also be popped by attacks.

Trivia
- Villager's helpless animation is a reference to the losing animation from Balloon Fight.
- The color of the balloons depends on which port the player is in (red for P1, blue for P2, yellow for P3, green for P4, orange for P5, cyan for P6, purple for P7, slate for P8, and grey for CPUs and Figure Players).
- Balloon Trip makes the Villager have the tallest recovery in Super Smash Bros. 4.
