| A '''Blue Balloon''' is an item in the [[Donkey Kong Country (series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' series]]. It is identical to a [[Red Balloon]], except, as its name indicates, it is colored blue. In ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', and ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', it serves as a type of Extra Life Balloon<ref>"''Extra Life Balloons come in three great flavors. Red Balloons give you one extra life, Green Balloons give you two and the elusive Blue Balloons give you three extra lives!''" – ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' Player's Guide, page 15.</ref> and grants three [[extra life|extra lives]].
| | The '''Blue Balloon''' is an item exclusive to ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. It is identical to an [[Extra Life Balloon]], except, as its name indicates, it is colored blue. It can be obtained at [[Funky's Fly 'n' Buy]] for seven [[Banana Coin]]s. |

|
| Blue Balloons return with a different purpose in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|its Nintendo Switch port]], where they can be obtained at [[Funky's Fly 'n' Buy]] for five [[Banana Coin]]s. If [[Donkey Kong]] (or [[Funky Kong]] in the [[Nintendo Switch]] version) equips a Blue Balloon, it grants extra air underwater.
| | If the Kongs equip a Blue Balloon, it gives extra air. However, they can only be used in aquatic stages. |
