The '''Green 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 green. In [[Donkey Kong Country|the first]] [[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest|three]] [[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!|''Donkey Kong Country'' games]], 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!''" - The Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble Player's Guide, page 15.</ref> and is also known as the '''2-Up Balloon'''<ref>M. Arakawa. ''Donkey Kong Country'' Player's Guide. Pages 28. "'''''Get Four Free Lives!''' Go get Diddy out of the first DK Barrel, select him, and then come back to the Treehouse door. Using Super Jumps, Diddy can cartwheel and jump his way along the treetops through the first section of this stage. Two red 1-Up Balloons will appear and then a green 2-Up Balloon will present itself. Grab ’em all!''"</ref> as it grants two [[extra life|extra lives]]. | |||
It is retooled with a different purpose in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and its Nintendo Switch [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port]], where it can be obtained at [[Cranky Kong's Shop]] for three [[Banana Coin]]s or at [[Funky's Fly 'n' Buy]] for seven Banana Coins, respectively. If [[Donkey Kong]] (or [[Funky Kong]] in the [[Nintendo Switch]] version of ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'') equips a Green Balloon, it brings him back to the stage after falling into a [[Pit|bottomless pit]]. However, Green Balloons cannot be used in stages which require Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong to keep moving, or when falling into pits is impossible (such as when riding a [[Mine Cart]] or a [[Rocket Barrel]]). Green Balloons cannot be used during multiplayer. | |||
