-'''Hot Air Balloons''' have appeared in a few ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong (series)|Donkey Kong]]'' games. They made their first cameo in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' in the introduction where [[Mario]], [[Luigi]] and [[Princess Peach]] ride a balloon to go to [[Dinosaur Land]] for a vacation. The balloons make another appearance in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', where Mario rescues Princess Peach. Mario and Peach escape in the balloon, but Luigi is unable to board prior to liftoff. [[Blue Toad (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|Blue Toad]] and [[Yellow Toad (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|Yellow Toad]] then allow Luigi into their balloon, and they fly away to safety.

+'''Hot Air Balloons'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' SNES instruction booklet, page 16.</ref> (also parsed as '''Hot-Air Balloons''')<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2'' GBA instruction booklet, page 15.</ref> are large balloons used for crossing large portions of [[lava]]. They first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and return in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''.
+==History==
+===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''===
+In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Hot Air Balloons appear only in [[Red-Hot Ride]], as a key feature for making 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. 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 [[Zinger]]s, 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''===
+In ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', Hot Air Balloons, function identically as before, although their appearance is slightly wider. They appear in only two [[level]]s, both taking place in a volcanic environment: [[Redhot Ride]] and [[Fiery Furnace (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Fiery Furnace]]. There are no thermal columns along the way, so a Hot Air Balloon cannot be suspended back in midair.
+==Profiles==
+===''Donkey Kong Land 2''===
+*'''[[Virtual Console]] manual bio:''' "''Jump on these to cross perilous gaps. Press {{button|3ds|Padleftright}} to move left or right. The balloons will gradually start to descend after you jump on them.''"
-Hot Air Balloons also appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', in which they are helpful in letting the monkeys traverse across the [[lava]] pool. They only appear in [[Red Hot Ride]] in ''Diddy's Kong Quest'', but they appear in another level, [[Fiery Furnace]], in ''Donkey Kong Land 2'' as well. The Hot Air Balloon also appeared in [[Test for the Best]] in ''[[Mario Party 8]]''.
