The game features three different modes of play: 1 Player Game: This mode takes place on two static screens.
The goal is to defeat all of the enemies flying around on balloons without being killed yourself (either by the enemies or by drowning in the water below). 2-4 Players Game: This mode is a multiplayer version of the 1 Player Game.
Up to four players can take part, using the download play feature of the Nintendo DS.
Balloon Trip: This mode takes place on two scrolling screens.
In this mode, you must guide Tingle through the sky, dodging electric sparks and making sure that you don't fall into the water.
Rupees are hanging from balloons in the air, and it's your job to collect as many as you can while you make your way through the level.
The game also features a gallery of pictures starring Tingle, which can be unlocked as you achieve secret goals throughout the game.
About Nintendo DS
The dual-screen, touch-enabled Nintendo DS (2004) became the best-selling handheld of all time, helped by its huge and genre-diverse library. Cartridge-based DS games have held up well physically over 20 years, and complete-in-box copies of the system's biggest sellers (Nintendogs, Pokémon, Mario Kart) remain very accessible for new collectors starting out.
Gamevaro tracks Tingle's Balloon Fight for Nintendo DS 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 Tingle's Balloon Fight 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 NDS release dates back to 2007.
