Balloon Trip (バルーントリップ, Balloon Trip) is Villager's and Isabelle's up special move.
Overview
When activating this move, Villager will put on a hat similar to the one worn by the Balloon Fighters in Balloon Fight. Villager can then fly around the stage for a short period of time to recover by using the two attached balloons; holding the special move button can also make him increase height, making it one of the best recovery moves in the entire Smash series. After a few seconds, the balloons will both dissociate from Villager, leaving him helpless; this state can also be manually performed if the player presses a standard attack button.
Opponents can potentially pop balloons that Villager spawns; popping one balloon significantly impairs Villager's potential vertical height, and popping both balloons causes Villager to immediately become helpless. This is much easier said than done, however, as most feasible hits to the balloons will hit Villager himself, knocking him out of helplessness and allowing him to use the move again.
Following patch 1.0.8, Balloon Trip takes a few seconds to recharge after one use; using it consecutively will reduce flight time to approximately one-half the original distance of Balloon Trip.
Customization
Special Move customization was added in Super Smash Bros. 4. These are the variations:
| 1. Balloon Trip | 2. Extreme Balloon Trip | 3. Balloon High Jump |
|---|---|---|
 |
 |
 |
| "Fly around at an average speed with great horizontal and vertical recovery, but the balloons can be popped." | "Fly using special balloons that don't rise as fast but cause an explosion when they burst." | "Rise quickly to an incredible height. Any foes in the way will get hit and take damage." |
- Balloon Trip: Default.
- Extreme Balloon Trip: Travels more slowly and flies lower than Villager's other up specials. Pressing the attack button will make the balloons explode one by one. Exploding the second balloon will cause Villager to rise into the air while going into his helpless state, which can be considered an increase in recovery distance. If Villager lands with one or both balloons intact, they will fly off in either direction and explode shortly after or can explode manually when using the move again.
- Balloon High Jump: A big jump with significant vertical recovery. The balloons vanish after use and cannot be used for flight. Damages foes on the way up. While more linear than the other versions, it is faster and can be used repeatedly without losing range.
Extreme Balloon Trip's first explosion damages King Dedede.
When the second balloon explodes, Villager is launched upwards.
Balloon High Jump damages Meta Knight during ascent.
Origin
As mentioned, the move is based off of the behavior of the Balloon Fighters in Balloon Fight, and the move's name comes from one of the gameplay modes in that game. Like in Smash, a Balloon Fighter starts with two balloons, where popping one will significantly impair mobility and popping both will cause the Balloon Fighter to fall helplessly.
In Animal Crossing, the whole Balloon Fight game makes an appearance in the GCN version, where the player can obtain the Balloon Fight Retro Game from Tom Nook's store, Crazy Redd's, or underground. The game can then be placed in the player's house and played.
The Balloon Fighter hat by itself does not make an appearance, but red balloons like those in the move do. One balloon will fly over the town every hour, and the player can use the slingshot to pop these balloons and release a present.

Trivia
- Villager's helpless animation is a reference to the losing animation from Balloon Fight.
- The color of the balloons and helmet depends on which port the player is in (red for P1, blue for P2, yellow for P3, green for P4, orange for P5, cyan for P6, purple for P7, slate for P8, and grey for CPUs and Figure Players).
- Balloon Trip grants Villager the highest vertical recovery in Super Smash Bros. 4.
- This is excluding Kirby, who can Inhale and use Shulk's Jump Monado Art to enhance his recovery through external factors.
