| Developer | Nintendo |
| Genre | 2D Platformer |
| Series | Balloon Fight Series |
An adventure based on NES classic Balloon Fight. Alice's little brother Jim has accidentally taken flight thanks to holding too many balloons. Alice must grab her own balloons and give chase.
Alice has two balloons to fly around with, and she can drop and reinflate them as needed in order to navigate the scrolling stages. If an enemy hits your balloons then one will burst and you will be harder to control in the air. If both burst then Alice drops down, and if she isn't above safe ground then she will lose a life.
You can also take part in a Balloon Trip mode or a 2-Player race against Alice's rival Sam.
Balloon Fight GB (Game Boy Color)
Balloon Kid wasn't released in Japan on the original Game Boy, but nearly 10 years after its U.S. release, it received a Game Boy Color overhaul and was released exclusively through the Nintendo Power download service. As well as the color graphics, the game was given a new title screen, menu and map.
