"''Hop onto one of the happy balloons for a slow ascent to the platforms above the starting point.''"</ref> are recurring platforms that can be stood on. They first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'', where they are present only in [[Big Ape City]]'s [[Construction Site Fight]]. The balloons rise up and down, inflating and deflating as they do so. The player must time their jumps in order to land safely.
==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 also appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its reissue]], where they have smiling faces and come in different 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 levels [[Windblown Wilderness]] and [[Superhard Acrobatics!]], and in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''.
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''===
In ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', balloons always come in red, and they gain magenta cheek blushes. They appear in [[Giddy Sky]] and remain still in place. If [[Princess Peach|Peach]] stands on them, they go down slowly. If she [[jump]]s off one, it rises. To make use of them, she has to jump repeatedly and get off before they vanish.
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.


Balloons feature in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', acting as they did in the ''Yoshi's Island'' games. Balloons can be popped by [[Bullet Bill]]s and [[Bull's-Eye Bill]]s. They can also be popped if they touch the ceiling.
