Hot Air Balloons in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' are encountered in [[Red-Hot Ride]] only, where using them is required to make it through the level. [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] can stand on a Hot Air Balloon and lean either left or right to control its movement. If the [[Kong]]s stand at the edge of a Hot Air Balloon, the animation of them about to fall off is shown, even though they cannot walk off of a Hot Air Balloon.

Most Hot Air Balloons start off at the top of a thermal column.

Hot Air Balloons[1] (also formatted as Hot-Air Balloons)[2] are large balloons that player characters use to travel across hazardous areas, namely wide pits of lava. They appear in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and its sister game, Donkey Kong Land 2.
History[edit]
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest[edit]
Hot Air Balloons in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest are encountered in Red-Hot Ride only, where using them is required to make it through the level. Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong can stand on a Hot Air Balloon and lean either left or right to control its movement. If the Kongs stand at the edge of a Hot Air Balloon, the animation of them about to fall off is shown, even though they cannot walk off of a Hot Air Balloon. By default, a Hot Air Balloon slowly descends into the lava, but it can be suspended in midair if it is floating at the top of a thermal column, which come in varying heights. Most Hot Air Balloons start off at the top of a thermal column. Throughout Red-Hot Ride, the Kongs must maneuver the Hot Air Balloon past a series of enemies, especially Zingers, until reaching the next Hot Air Balloon or the ground. Some of the Hot Air Balloons have a DK Barrel on it, or even either one of two enemies: Kruncha or Neek. Although they walk back and forth on a Hot Air Balloon, this does not affect the direction of its movement.
Donkey Kong Land 2[edit]
Hot Air Balloons in Donkey Kong Land 2 are functionally identical as before, but they are slightly wider, and appear in two volcanic-themed levels, Redhot Ride and Fiery Furnace. Neither levels have thermal columns, so it is not possible to suspend a Hot Air Balloon back in midair.
