balonfgt: MAME ROM Information.
History:
Vs. Balloon Fight (c) 1984 Nintendo.
In Balloon Fight, you control a person who flies around with 2 balloons on his back. You have to defeat men in bird costumes, who have one balloon on their backs. When the balloon is popped, the enemy will float down on a parachute, and go on the ground. Either harm it before it blows up another balloon while on the ground or on the parachute to knock it out. If you don't knock out the enemy, it will go to the next color and be stronger. If you lose one balloon, you're still in the game although you rise slower, but if you lose both, you'll lose a life. You can lose a life by falling in the water, getting hit by lightning, getting hit by an enemy, or getting eaten by a fish.

- TRIVIA -
Released in September 1984.
In "WarioWare - Smooth Moves" (Nintendo Wii), there is a minigame functioning as a 3-D version of the balloon trip in Balloon Fight
Balloon Fighter and Flipper trophies are obtainable in "Super Smash Bros. Melee" (Nintendo GameCube), and the Flipper is also a usable item. The original background music for the Balloon trip in Balloon Fight can be heard in Melee's Icicle Mountain stage as alternate music.
The giant fish makes a cameo appearance in "Super Smash Bros. Brawl" (Nintend Wii). It appears on the Ice Climber-based stage, the Summit, in which it tries to attack the players from the sea.
Nintendo also released a Game & Watch version of the same name, it is based on the NES version's Balloon Trip Mode. The protagonist of it is a Balloon Fighter, 'Balloon Man' (according to the manual). Unlike Balloon Fighters, Balloon Man uses a rocket suit instead of flapping his hands to elevate while holding balloons.
