To make things harder, some will walk, some will run, and some will move erratically; from time to time a female funny will cross the screen, which if shot will cause the player to lose a life.
They player also has a certain number of boulders they can drop, which will hit any funny on the screen that may be out of the player's range.
If enough funnys are hit, the player moves on to the next stage.
Balloon Boy is an action game where the player controls a boy at the bottom of the screen who must shoot at balloons floating across the top.
When shot, the balloons will release either a trap or an item, and the boy must collect the items while avoiding the traps.
If all the balloons are destroyed before the time runs out, the player moves on to the next stage.
About Sega Genesis
Known as the Mega Drive outside North America, the Sega Genesis (1988/1989) was Sega's most successful console and Sonic the Hedgehog's original home, fueling the "console wars" era against Nintendo's SNES. Genesis cartridge collecting is well-established: common sports and platformer titles are affordable, while sports-license and later-era games with smaller print runs can carry a meaningful premium.
Gamevaro tracks Funny World & Balloon Boy for Sega Genesis 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.
