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.
Profiles[edit]
- Play Nintendo: A Balloon can help your Mini reach high places. Grab onto one, then float your Mini through certain parts of the level. When you've reached the location you want, tap the Balloon to pop it and drop your Mini.[1]
