Green Balloons have a different purpose in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' (and [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|its Nintendo Switch port]]), where one 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 he falls into a [[Pit|bottomless pit]]. This process locks the camera and allows Donkey Kong to adjust his automatic ascent left and right. While using a Green Balloon, Donkey Kong can float through solid objects. The jump button lets Donkey Kong hop off as per Red Balloons. If the player takes too long to do so, the Green Balloon will flicker and eventually pop on its own. If Donkey Kong is riding [[Rambi]], Green Balloons do not activate. Green Balloons are unusable in stages that require Donkey Kong and [[Diddy Kong]] to keep moving, or when they are riding either a [[Mine Cart]] or a [[Rocket Barrel]]. Green Balloons cannot be used during multiplayer.
