Iwata's big balloon break

It's no 5 star title, not to burst anyone's bubbles, but there is still some quality on offer.

The many levels of Game A are dynamic in the challenges they offer, your head start on your opponents can also lead to feeling really smart if you know how to stop your foes before they can take off. Rapid popping also feels satisfying, but in turn it can also happen to you if you're not careful. I'd say the thunder bolts can feel cheap as is any interactions with the edges of the screen and how things loop, and bumpers offer little more than annoyance.

Game B is also great since it's a static obstacle course you can only get better and better at with time. Not as much to say but if you wanna master the controls this is the way to go. I do wish multiple courses were on offer though as just the one gets old fast.

The only other real issue I can think of is just that that's all there is to the game, but what is there is pretty solid.
