Balloon World[1] is a minigame that appears in an update for Super Mario Odyssey released on February 21, 2018.[2] The minigame can be played by completing the main story and finding Luigi somewhere in any of the kingdoms and talking to him.
This minigame features two different modes: "Hide It" mode and "Find It" mode. In "Hide It" mode, the player has thirty seconds to hide a balloon somewhere in the kingdom. The player can choose to place the balloon before the time runs out or they can restart to try and find a different hiding spot. In "Find It" mode, the player has thirty seconds to find a balloon hidden in a kingdom. To help the player, there is an arrow pointing to the direction of where the balloon is located as well as a meter counter that will decrease or increase depending on how close or far the player is from the balloon.
Balloon World also features a ranking system, which shows the statistics of the player, such as how many coins they received and how many balloons they found in a row. The player will receive stars for each objective that is completed.
The balloons used in this minigame have images of the player's Nintendo Switch profile icons, such as Mario and [[Yoshi]. Additionally, the time of day and weather in some kingdoms change when playing this minigame, such as the Cascade Kingdom taking place at night and the Metro Kingdom taking place during a rainstorm.
