The game is played very similar to [[Koopa Freerunning]], being timer-based and in a different scenario from the usual post-game one. Additionally, the Odyssey is removed, and the Kingdoms in which it is played in are the same as well. It also cannot be played with [[Assist Mode]] on. | The game is played very similar to [[Koopa Freerunning]], being timer-based and in a different scenario from the usual post-game one.

[[File:HideFindConv.webp|thumb|right|This chart | [[File:HideFindConv.webp|thumb|right|This chart shows conversions between hide times and find times. Because of random find time increases by two for hide time increases by one, some hide times are more desirable than others.]] | ||
Balloons cost Coins to find, but give over three times the amount of Coins they cost. Due to this, Balloon World is one of the most efficient coin grinding methods. One Kingdom where the game is playable will always have a "special bonus" where players can spend and earn more Coins. The special Kingdom is dynamic, random, and changes every few hours. | Balloons cost Coins to find, but give over three times the amount of Coins as they cost.

It is still unknown what makes a balloon fully disappear. Some suggest a balloon has to be popped in the same time it was hidden or less, others suggest a balloon needs to be popped at least three times by the same person, and others suggest the balloon has to be uploaded for three months. | It is still unknown what makes a balloon fully disappear.
