| | '''Balloons''', not to be confused with [[Baron von Zeppelin]]s, are platforms that [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] can ride on in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. They only appear in one level, [[Don't Look Back!]], where they come in different colors. Stepping on one of them causes it to stop its natural rising, and using them too long results in their disappearance. They make a small appearance as the same thing in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', and appear in [[Windblown Wilderness]] and [[Superhard Acrobatics]]. In ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', they always come in red, and gain magenta cheeks. They appear in [[Giddy Sky]], and never move. If [[Princess Peach|Peach]] stands on them, they go down slowly. If Peach jumps off of one, it rises. To make use of them, Peach has to jump repeatedly and get off before they vanish. |

| ==History==
| |
| ===''Donkey Kong Land''===
| |
| Balloons in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'' appear in [[Construction Site Fight]] only, where they rise up and down, inflating and deflating in the process.
| |
| | |
| ===''Yoshi's Island'' series===
| |
| Balloons in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its reissue]] have smiling faces and appear in a variety of colors. They appear in [[Don't Look Back!]] and a bonus area in [[Beware The Spinning Logs]], and they continuously rise from the bottom of the screen. Stepping on one of them causes it to stop its natural rising, and using them too long results in their disappearance. They reappear with the same function in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'' in the levels [[Windblown Wilderness]] and [[Superhard Acrobatics!]] and in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''.
| |
| | |
| ===''Super Princess Peach''===
| |
| Balloons in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'' already appear in red, and they gain magenta cheek blushes with short strings hanging. They appear in [[Giddy Sky]] and remain still. If [[Princess Peach|Peach]] stands on them, they go down slowly. If she jumps off one, it makes a short rise. After being stood on the first time, a balloon blinks after a few moments and then vanishes, reappearing in its original spot after a few more seconds. To make use of balloons, she has to jump repeatedly to reach new heights before they vanish.
| |
| | |
| ===''Yoshi's Woolly World''===
| |
| Balloons in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' function identically as in the ''[[Yoshi's Island (series)|Yoshi's Island]]'' games. Balloons can be popped by [[Bullet Bill]]s and [[Bull's-Eye Bill]]s or from touching the ceiling.
