A '''Balloon Bully''',<ref>{{cite|author=Leung, Jason; Munson, Terry; Pelland, Scott|title=''Yoshi's Story'' Player's Guide|page=119|date=1998|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> or '''Mr Clown''',<ref>{{cite|title=''Official UK Nintendo Magazine'' Issue 67|page=29|date=April 1998}}</ref> is a character found in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. Despite "bully" being in its name, it is a helpful creature. Balloon Bullies are large blue balloons, which are found in mechanical crates or [[? Bubble]]s. Three of them are found in the game: two in [[Surprise!!]] and one in the [[Lift Castle]]. When a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] fires an [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]] at a ? Bubble containing a Balloon Bully, the ? Bubble falls and expands into a balloon-like creature with a log on its head. The Yoshi can ride a Balloon Bully to reach otherwise inaccessible items. When the Yoshi stands on its log, the player can use the Control Stick to control the Balloon Bully's movement. If the Yoshi leaves a Balloon Bully's lift, it will remain stationary for a few seconds, then it will slowly sink to the ground.

Artwork for Balloon Bully is used in ''[[Mario Artist: Paint Studio]]''.

*'''Nintendo 64 Spieleberater:''' ''Er ist etwas scheu und verbirgt sich meist hinter Fragezeichenbällen. Habe ich ihn aber befreit, freut er sich so sehr, daß er sich erkenntlich zeigt und mich als lebender Lift in luftige Höhen transportiert, wo es meist etwas Leckeres oder gar Wertvolles zu finden gibt. Doch wie gesagt, er ist sehr scheu, oft werde ich ihn nicht zu Gesicht bekommen.'' <ref name=German>{{cite|title=Nintendo 64 ''Yoshi's Story'' Spieleberater|page={{file link|Yoshis Story German Guide Allies.png|17}}|publisher=Nintendo of Europe|language=de}}</ref> (''He is a bit shy and usually hides behind ? Bubbles. But when I have freed him, he is so happy that he shows his gratitude and transports me as a living elevator to lofty heights, where there is usually something tasty or even valuable to find. But as I said, he is very shy, often I will not get to see him.'')
