Balloon Glider gameplay.
Balloon Glider is the second minigame in the 100 Acre Wood in Re:Chain of Memories, accessible after completing Veggie Panic. It is reminiscent of a small event in the original Chain of Memories, wherein you had to get Pooh to grab onto a group of balloons so he would fly up and find Owl, which earned you the Spellbinder card as a reward. In the remake Sora helps Pooh reach the top of the Hunny Tree in an attempt to find his friends from the air.
Reaching the top of the tree counts as completing the minigame and lets you receive the Firaga Burst sleight from Owl, whereas you need all 500 points to earn a Stop card with a value of 0, but only after clearing the minigame once. Earning 500 points also grants you the bronze trophy and achievement Ace Pilot in the 1.5 ReMIX version.
Gameplay[]
The goal of the minigame is to reach the top of the tree, whereas losing all of your balloons causes you to fail. There is no time limit, and the only optional challenge is to hit all the the prizes for the maximum socre of 500. 480 prizes are worth one point each, while the big one at the very top is worth twenty. The prizes also act as a path for you to follow to safely reach the top of the tree.
Sora and Pooh start with two balloons, and touching any branch or swarm of bees causes you to lose one, although there are six scattered along the prizes as you float upwards alongside the tree. Sora and Pooh can only hold up to three balloons however. Bee swarms, of which there are fifteen, always travel in a fixed path, so they and the static branches are not too hard to avoid as long as you are careful. You must also be careful of your inertia as you move around the tree, lest you accidentally float into something.
