| - Balloon Kid is a video game for the Game Boy console that was developed by Nintendo. The original game was never released in Japan. The Japan exclusive game Hello Kitty World however, was released for the Famicom in March 27, 1992 as a port and remake of the game, which replaced the main protagonist Alice with Kitty White and her younger brother Jim with Tippy Bear, amongst other more minor changes. It is a sequel to Balloon Fight, a popular video game on the NES. In Single Play mode, the player Alice adventures past her hometown Pencilvania, a stage with pencil shaped skyscrapers in search for her little brother Jim. A remake of the original game was later released exclusively to Japan in 2000 titled Balloon Fight GB for the Game Boy Color. It upgraded the original game in various ways; for example by adding a world map, save function and a Super Game Boy border. Balloon Fight GB was available on the now discontinued Nintendo Power download service from August 1, 2000.
