Kirby's Burst-A-Balloon is one of the five Sub-Games from Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble. It involves the player using the game's tilt mechanics to have Kirby aim and fire arrows at balloons that pass by.
Gameplay
The game takes place with an empty area of space with a sunny hillside in the background. Kirby is presumed to be off-camera operating the bow and arrow, since the player does not see him during gameplay. In a 50 second window, the objective of the game is to pop as many balloons as possible by shooting them with arrows as they fly upward at varying rates and trajectories. Kirby has access to six arrows at a time, and must reload them if he runs out. achieved when the player quickly flicks the Game Boy Color (an action that would make Kirby jump in the main game). Once time runs out, the game is over.
The base score for each balloon is as follows:
- Blue balloon - 10 points
- Red balloon - 20 points
- Dedede balloon - 800 points (+30 seconds to the clock)
Additionally, each balloon hit without missing a shot will add to a combo which increases the score for each balloon hit by 10 multiplied by the combo number. Dedede balloons are rare, and move back-and-forth as they rise.
