| − | ==Gameplay==
| |
| − | When playing Balloon Fight, the player controls a small Balloon Fighter that has two balloons attached to his back. To make the Balloon Fighter flap his "wings" and fly, the player can press A or B repeatedly. The objective of the game is to defeat bird-shaped Balloon Fighters. The player advances to the next stage if they manage to defeat all of the Balloon Fighters. If an enemy pops one of the player's balloons, their ability to fly is decreased. The player only has three lives, and they lose one if both of their balloons are popped, if they fall into the water, if they are eaten by the Giant Piranha at the water's surface, or if they are struck by lightning.

| |
| − | ''Balloon Fight'' has been referenced numerous times in various Nintendo media since its release. Despite this, the game has received mixed reviews from critics. For instance, IGN gave the game a 6 out of 10, criticizing its lack of originality and comparable gameplay to ''Joust'', an arcade game with similar gameplay, and its "ear-grating sounds" during stages, but praises it for offering enough fun "as it is" despite lacking in originality. GameSpot gave the game a 6.5 out of 10, praising its fun gameplay and satisfying premise, but criticizing its lack of extensive content.

| |
| − | Due to being featured in {{PG}}, the [[Villager (Super Smash Bros. series)|Villager]] in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U]] uses a similar premise as ''Balloon Fight'' for his recovery action, summoning a pair of balloons and wearing a helmet similar to that worn by the protagonist of ''Balloon Fight''. Their falling animation afterward also resembles the animation used when loosing a life in the original game.
