Game & Watch Crystal Screen: Balloon Fight

Game & Watch Crystal Screen: Balloon Fight is the third (and final) of only three released games in the eight series of Game & Watch games published by Nintendo, also known as the Crystal Screen Series. This series consist of games previously released in the (New) Wide Screen Series, but with ergonomic features and new transparent screens. Unpublished in Japan.

The final goal is to help the Balloon Man reach a map showing his worst enemy's location. The map has been shredded to pieces and attached to balloons spread across the levels. One has to use your jet pack to collect as many pieces as possible, whilst avoiding sparks. These will have you fall into the seas below when touched. The "Eject" button controls the altitude of the jet pack. The more you push it, the higher you will go. Whereas, if you don't push it at all, your character will be sent into a free fall. Bonus stages are added, allowing you to grab extra balloons during a short period of time. Rocks in the water grant you a temporarily minute of rest. Every 8 levels a boss encounter ensues, where you have to dodge and defeat the enemy. Over 200 levels are available, which can be completed by collecting 25 balloons. The "Game Over" screen system, after 3 lives lost, isn't present anymore. One can continue indefinitely as long as you score at least 100 points between two failures. Some versions of the game Balloon Fight were sold with a small illustrated plastic pouch, when applied to the G&W game ended up creating a mountain background for the game.
