1-up Blast

1-up Blast is one of the minigames which appears in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. It is specifically played at the Green Toad Houses.
==Layout==
1-up Blast takes place in a wide room with tracks floating above four cannons, one for each player, depending on how many are playing the game character. On the tracks are moving balloons worth a certain number of 1-Ups, indicated from the number displayed on it. The layout of the tracks and the types of balloons featured is different for each world.
The balloons worth a 1-Up are available as early as the first world, World 1. The balloons worth 2-Ups, 3-Ups, and 4-Ups are available in as early as World 4, World 7, and World 8, respectively.
==Gameplay==
A character must enter a cannon, then adjust the aim of the cannon to aim toward the balloons. When the balloons line up within the cannon's aim, the character can then launch toward all the balloons. Each character is only given one turn while playing the minigame. The winning criteria does not depend on how many balloons are popped, as the balloons only grant additional lives, but the only way to lose is if none of the balloons are popped.
In multiplayer, popping the balloons only grant extra lives to whoever popped it. If a character pops all of the balloons in one shot or another character pops the remaining balloons in three-player or four-player mode, the minigame ends prematurely, as there are no remaining balloons for them to pop.
