The Premise: A cognizant pink balloon floats through Dream Land on the planet Pop Star, inhaling everything in sight like a stoner going through withdrawal. This is in hopes of…well, nothing in particular actually. He just kind of pisses off trees or steals the treasures of an evil penguin king (we assume it's evil, anyway).
What Made It Ridiculous: Absolutely everything. Inhaling a living creature allows you to gain their power, and then spit out stars. The world is apparently made of pink marshmallows. Enemies include disembodied, hovering rabbit and pig heads. It was essentially an acid trip for 10-year-olds.
Why We Didn't Care: You could beat every level by inhaling air and flying over everything, so it was a game that transitioned well into our teen years, when playing high as fuck rendered most games far too difficult.
