'''Balloons''' is the seventh of the nine minigames which can be unlocked and played in every version of ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''.


==Description==
==Description==
This minigame takes place in the seas of the [[Glade of Dreams]], probably in [[the Looming Sea]]. The main goal is to help [[Rayman]] reach the top of [[Globox]]'s ship by jumping from [[balloon]] to [[balloon]] while refilling the red bar with [[Jewel|gems]] and not falling into [[The Looming Sea|the Sea]]. The control method is the same as in regular gameplay in ''[[Rayman 3]]''. The red bar represents [[Rayman]]'s health that slowly decreases as time passes. To refill the red bar, the player must catch the [[Jewel|gems]] scattered around the landscape: the yellow [[Jewel|gems]] refill a little of the red bar, the red [[Jewel|gems]] refill more of the red bar than the yellow ones, and the green [[Jewel|gems]] refill a lot more of the red bar than all the previous ones. [[Rayman]] can also find two types of [[Laser-Washing Powder]] that will help him during the path: the [[Throttle Copter]] and the [[Lockjaw]], both working in the very same way as in regular gameplay of ''[[Rayman 3]]''. If the red bar gets completely empty or [[Rayman]] falls to the sea, the player loses the minigame immediately. The yellow bar represents the remaining distance to reach the top of [[Globox]]'s ship, that slowly gets reduced as the player gets closer to it. [[Globox]] can be seen in the prow of the ship with his arms outstretched. This is a reference to the movie ''Titanic''. The player wins when the yellow bar is completely empty and [[Rayman]] reaches the top of the ship.
