Present Balloons?

[blinkerz]

When do the presents attached to a balloon come?

I've heard random times ending in xx:x4, or xx:x5, or xx:xx6

I've heard only xx:06, xx:05, xx:04

I've heard it's just random...

Anyone know?

As I told u Blink, I think there commonly comign at early morning and 8 at night, idk for sure.

Well it appears on the side at about xx:03 but you usually see it around xx:05

so when its xx:03 look around and you might find one. It's not confirmed, but why not give it a shot and post your results?

 

[blinkerz]

[quote="b]11:05 a balloon comes to my town.[/quote]Its probably just coincidence that this happens. There isn't a set time for when balloons appear in any town, unless it's been hacked. And, even if it was hacked for a specific time, wouldn't it be easier to just get the items...

 

[cube ftw]

I think they just come randomly.


I'm not sure

xx:04 is when they appear I think, it takes about 4-5 mins to reach the other side of the town.

 

[tehbellman]

i will post results

 

[Krazy Karl]

I have run a trial and conducted research and came to the conclusion they will turn up at xx:x4 so any time ending with a 4!

 

[Tyeforce]

I've gotten, like, 5 balloons in the same hour before... This is all wrong.

 

[StbAn]

They just appear randomly, I found 4 in a day.

I foyu have a good karma you will found them.

It's random, sometimes I get one a day, one time I got 3 in ten minutes.
It's just random.

Balloons occasionally float over your town with a present attached. You'll hear a wind noise when there's one nearby. If you hear the noise and can't see a balloon try pressing up on the d-pad to look up. Balloons can be shot down with a slingshot - stand under the balloon, where the shadow is, and shoot. When you open the present that was attached you may find a piece of the 8-Bit Mario Series - besides hacking or online trading balloons are the only way to obtain this series. However you may only get a regular piece of furniture.

The easiest way to find a balloon is to wait for the time to end in a 5 (X:05, X:15, X:25 etc) and simply walk up and down the eastern and western borders of your town by the cliffs. If a balloon has appeared you will either see the balloon itself or hear the wind rushing signifying it is nearby. The balloons will appear on either the 16th, 32nd or 48th tile from the top (ie on the borders of sectors as used in Perfect Town). At least one balloon appears each hour.

After you've shot down at least eight balloons you may also come across an item attached to three yellow balloons ("three-balloon" balloon). This is the Golden Slingshot. Unlike other balloon items, this item is not inside a present, but is just attached to the three balloons.
