==Gameplay==
In gameplay, players use their planes to launch flashing [[Bullet Bill]]s that home in on their opponents. Every player can endure up to two hits before falling out of the sky, eliminating them. After firing, a player cannot launch another Bullet Bill until the first either hits an opponent or disappears. A Bullet Bill can only be dodged by doing a U-turn at the boundary of the course. The last player remaining wins, though if there are at least two players remaining and one has more [[Health Meter|health]], that player wins. Otherwise, if either two players remain with the same health or every player is eliminated, the result is a draw.
Each player has two hearts and can shoot each other with bullets. If a player holds {{button|n64|z}} and the [[Bullet Bill]] under their plane is flashing, they can release it, and the Bullet Bill targets any player flying in the area. Once the Bullet Bill is launched, the player cannot launch another Bullet Bill until the first one disappears or hits a targeted player. The only way a player can get rid of a Bullet Bill following them is to go into the course's barrier, after which they do an immediate U-turn while the Bullet Bill flies off course. If a player is hit twice, that player falls out of the sky and is eliminated from the minigame. The last player staying in the area wins. If all four players are eliminated or there are two or more players still in the area when time runs out (unless one player has more [[Health Meter|health]] remaining than the others), the minigame ends in a draw.
