Moves[]

Villager's up special move, Balloon Trip, comes from this game. In this move, Villager uses balloons to rise into the air, in a similar way to how the playable characters and enemies do in this game. In addition, Villager's helpless animation mimics the losing animation from this game.

Isabelle's up special move, also named Balloon Trip, functions similarly to Villager's, however, Isabelle's version is more unique as she rides a swing hung by balloons instead of wearing a hat with balloons.

Stages[]

Balloon Fight comes from this game. The stage looks like the original game, retaining the 8-bit graphics.

Items[]

The Flipper comes from this game. Flippers appear in some stages and if any character or enemy touches one, it gets knocked back a bit.

Music[]

"Balloon Fight", "Balloon Trip (Brawl)", "Balloon Fight Medley" and "Balloon Trip (3DS)" come from this game. "Baloon Fight (Melee)" is a direct port of the song that plays during the Balloon Trip mode and during a Bonus Round. Both "Balloon Trip" songs are remixes of the same theme.
