He'll pose as a balloon salesman.
He just needs to avoid Ranger Smith.
Boo Boo: "But, Yogi, the Ranger isn't going to like this." Yogi: "Not to worry, Boo Boo, I'm smarter than the average bear!" Yogi Bear: Great Balloon Blast is a puzzle game requiring strategy.
A cloud above will hold several colored balloons while moving left or right.
When it reaches the screen edge, it drops down a bit.
You have a picnic basket with two balloons attached.
By pressing the B button, you can rotate the balloons 90º and swap the colors.
By pressing the A button, you release the balloons.
The object is to get three balloons of the same color to touch.
They will then pop and will be gone.
Remember, the cloud is moving so time your release so the balloons go where you want.
You are trying to clear all the balloons to move on.
Every fourth level is a boss level where you have Ranger Smith on top of the cloud.
He stomps the cloud to lower it and drops a stone.
If the stone hits your basket, you will release your balloons, whether you want to or not, and will not be able to move for a couple seconds.
Once you clear all these balloons, you will have defeated Ranger Smith and will move on to the next area.
If you match a balloon with an arrow in it, the cloud will move up a little.
If the balloons reach the bottom, you lose.
You can then choose to restart the level you were on or end the game.
About Game Boy Color
The Game Boy Color (1998) added a color screen to the original Game Boy formula while remaining backwards compatible with the entire existing cartridge library. Its colorful, semi-transparent cartridge shells make it a visually distinct platform for shelf collectors, and several late-cycle exclusives — released just before the Game Boy Advance took over — are notably harder to find complete today.
Gamevaro tracks Yogi Bear: Great Balloon Blast for Game Boy Color with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Yogi Bear: Great Balloon Blast to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GBC release dates back to 2000.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Yogi Bear: Great Balloon Blast, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Game Boy Color titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
