It's up to you to chase after him through eight treacherous levels.
Instead of the usual jumping from platform to platform, you have a pair of balloons that allow you to float through the level.
You must control your height carefully by tapping the 'A' button.
Meanwhile, the screen is always scrolling to the left, and you have to keep up.
In addition to the single player adventure, there is a 2-player mode that allows you to compete against a friend via the Game Boy link cable.
In this mode you try to get your opponent to maneuver their balloon kid into the various level hazards.
About Nintendo 3DS
The Nintendo 3DS (2011) added glasses-free stereoscopic 3D and a second analog input to Nintendo's handheld line, eventually building a library that rivaled the DS in size and quality. Because the eShop for digital purchases has since closed, physical 3DS cartridges are the only way to preserve access to many titles — a dynamic that's pushing more collectors toward cartridge-based copies even for games that were originally digital-first.
Gamevaro tracks Balloon Kid for Nintendo 3DS 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 Balloon Kid 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 3DS release dates back to 2011.

No market sales have been tracked yet for Balloon Kid — this could mean it rarely changes hands, or simply that Gamevaro hasn't recorded a sale for it yet. Be the first to add it to your collection.
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.
