The Balloon Fighter is the protagonist of the game Balloon Fight.
The Balloon Fighter has red overalls accompanied by a blue shirt and blue helmet. At the beginning of a game the player starts off with two balloons on his back. The balloons pop when the player collides with a flying duck. When a balloon is popped by a duck, the player will rise more slowly and if both are popped, the player will lose a life.
When two players are playing, the second balloon fighter will have blue balloons.
