Mastered, and like Slackot, Stage 30 took me too many attempts lol.
RelevantLink 5 May 2024 20:06
After beat phase-30, the other achievements looks like nothing. You almost forget the difficult of some of then.

Mastered! This game is still a thing!
DOLPHINTYPE4 27 Jun 2024 05:45
Mastered! I have fond memories playing this game on Animal Crossing GCN. Beating phase 30 was brutal but a great challenge!

Mastered!

Mastered! Thanks for the set, that was so much fun! I have fond memories playing this on a 100 games cartridge at my babysitter as a kid
baconhamandswiss 20 Aug 2024 01:59
Mastered! Balloon Fighter and Trip Pop Master are the hardest in the set for sure.
mynoots 23 Aug 2024 08:27
When you look at the achievements it seems scary. Once you understand the physics of the character, you will feel like these achievements are freebie!
dripbacon 23 Aug 2024 13:38
wow. that took long.

I got to phase #30 with 2 lives and 2 baloons and somewhat managed to lose there, the AI starts to get REALLY agressive from level 18-ish onwards. I will go back to this, but I need a break, that was so disheartening... :'(

Great game though!

Mastery #60

Came back to the game the next day with a clear mind and got to phase 30 first try in the morning; gosh that felt pretty good! In regards to the game itself though, its a super fun and competent arcade port on the NES. The controls take a bit to get used to since they're on the floaty side (makes sense since you're propelling yourself in the air using balloons), but once they click you will find a pretty addictive gameplay loop in there. "Pick-up & Play" value for this one is quite high, so this definetly goes in the list of games I will revisit later in the future just for the fun of it, just like Marble Madness for example.

Thanks for the set!

Mastery #19! Not even terribly hard, but definitely takes knowledge of the game AI and mechanics. If I could give any tips, it's don't go for phase 30 until you have every other achievement, then you can focus on taking everything out as quick as possible. Always go for peach balloons first cause they're actively trying to ruin your game, whereas green and pink just kind of hover and aren't much of a bother

Gonna try to master this one as is one of my all time NES fav and it will look amazing on my profile.

My first NES master! GG
Gipple 19 Dec 2024 03:28
Beaten & completed but not mastered. I needed softcore for the 'Balloon Fighter' and 'Toppest Pop!' achievements. I acknowledge my limitations, and I have no interest in getting any better.

Mastered! GG

My first mastery!! Didn't expect to fall in love with this game as much as I did.
frange 18 Feb 2025 20:35
Completed... I need two more trophies to master this game but its impossible
somerandomguy1234 13 Mar 2025 06:05
Mastered #20! This wasn't that hard except for 100 balloons in Balloon Trip, that's the hardest achievement in this set.

Mastery #17
Very fun bite sized set, Knocked it out in a hour and a half.

Balloon fight has always been one of the few NES games to really stick with me, something about mastering the controls of the Balloon fighter just feels satisfying. Once you get used to the control this set can be done fairly easily. Hardest ones for me was probably popping 100 balloons and popping 20 orange balloons in a row.

Only other thing to say is man this game is hard on the ears lol
