Objective: Run through the stage and attack the blue balloons. If you hit the red balloons or miss the blue balloons, you’ll get a time penalty. Any hit will burst a balloon—use your Mega Buster or just run into them!
Time Limit: 12:00:00
Bosses: Disabled
General Strategy
• Each red balloon adds 10 seconds to the timer.
• Do not leave ANY blue balloons behind! They will add 30 seconds EACH upon leaving the room.
• Be selective with your weapons—stray shots can accidentally hit red balloons.
• Familiarize yourself with Mega Man’s slide. It’s required for many sections, but Mega Man stands up at the end of the slide, which can cause him to pop red balloons if not timed properly.
• Unlike enemies, balloons do not despawn, so you can shoot them even when they’re off-screen.
• Stay calm. It’s harder than it looks.
