Balloons appear in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and its reissue as objects in two types of Mini Battles, Popping Balloons and Throwing Balloons. In Popping Balloons, a Yoshi must ground-pound the balloon with the item inside it. However, the Bandit tries to find it first. In Throwing Balloons, a Yoshi is throwing a slowly expanding balloon back and forth with a Bandit. Whoever has the balloon when it pops loses the minigame. A combination of A Button, B Button, X Button, Y Button, and +Control Pad is used to throw the balloon.
