'''Hot Air Balloons'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' SNES instruction booklet, page 16.</ref> (or '''Hot-Air Balloons'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2'' GBA instruction booklet, page 15.</ref>) are objects that have appeared in a few ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' and [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'']] games. Hot air balloons made their first appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', in which they are helpful in allowing the [[Kong]]s traverse across pools of [[lava]], but they are accessible by friend and foe alike. They originally only appeared in [[Red-Hot Ride]], but they appear in another level, [[Fiery Furnace (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Fiery Furnace]], in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' as well.

'''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==
One hot air balloon made an appearance in ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'', in which it is shown as the mode of transportation to [[Dinosaur Land]] chosen by [[Mario]], [[Luigi]] and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]]. It is also used once Mario and Luigi complete all levels, changing the world theme to [[Fall]]. This balloon has an emblem of an "M" similar to that of [[Mario's castle]]. Another large hot air balloon appears in the [[Test for the Best]] [[minigame]] of ''[[Mario Party 8]]''.
===''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''===
Two hot air balloons make an appearance in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', when Princess Peach is rescued. Mario escorts Peach out of the castle and onto a balloon, having alone time as they quickly lift off before Luigi is able to board (with Luigi accidentally locking himself out of the balloon while waving goodbye to the Toads). [[Yellow Toad (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|Yellow Toad]] and [[Blue Toad (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|Blue Toad]] then offer the fallen Luigi a ride in their balloon, which he sheepishly accepts. The balloons bear [[Bowser]]'s insignia, likely making it property of the [[Koopa Troop]].
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.
