As usual with the WarioWare series, the 9-Volt stage is based on various Nintendo games, with one of the microgames being based on Balloon Fight. The microgame is named "Balloon Fight" and modeled after Balloon Trip mode, specifically from NES Balloon Fight. However, it is a 3D recreation of the mode, with a third-person camera behind the Balloon Fighter, who is now modeled to have more realistic human proportions. In the microgame version, the Balloon Fighter has a color scheme based on the Famicom version's box art. Although they cannot be interacted with, there are islands and clouds visible in the background.
The form which game instructs the player to take is called "The Big Cheese," where the player must put their hands, holding the Wii Remote, on their hips. The player must flap their arms to fly upward in-game, in order to avoid the Balloon Fish in the water and the Sparks in the air. At the highest difficulty level, there is also a Balloon Bird with a purple Balloon, who has similar proportions to the Balloon Fighter. There is also an alternate version in the Dr. Crygor stage, which is more focused on endurance.
When viewing the microgame at the Temple of Form, there is a scrolling description for the game:
[Balloon Fight] The classic air battle is now in 3-D form! Flap your arms and stay in the sky! 1986: Balloon Fight / NES

After the player plays Dr. Crygor's stage, they will unlock an expanded version of the Balloon Fight microgame as a minigame. The minigame is called Balloon Trip. The minigame has several differences from the microgame, including the addition of score and distance counters, as well as a high score displayed in the top left of the screen. The Balloon Fighter also uses the simplified red and blue color scheme seen in the original game.
Playing this game requires the player to connect a Nunchuk to their Wii Remote. Now, each controller acts as either hand, and the player can move horizontally on the screen as well by flapping only one arm. This version also adds Balloons, which can be collected for extra points.

While the player hovers over the option on the map of Diamond City, a brief description will scroll past:
