Balloon (Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge)
Balloons are objects which appear in Balloon Float Castle in Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge. They are introduced in Peach 1 and appear in all four levels in the world. Each balloon is attached to a pump which occupies a single tile, while the balloons themselves are pink and have a white arrow on them; this arrow points diagonally either to the left or right, signifying the direction in which the balloon will float.
Mini Peach can grab and hold on to a balloon, which then ascends and floats in the direction of the arrow. The player can tap on a floating balloon with the Wii U's 
stylus to make the balloon burst, causing Mini Peach to fall straight downward and a new balloon to be generated from the pump. A balloon will remain intact upon hitting a ceiling, but it will pop if it touches hazards such as spikes.
