Blue Balloon

"This brand-new Blue Balloon has everything you need for some excellent underwater air time!"

- Funky Kong

The Blue Balloon is an item exclusive to Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. It is identical to an Extra Life Balloon, except, as its name indicates, it is colored blue. It can be obtained at Funky's Fly 'n' Buy for seven Banana Coins.

If the Kongs equip a Blue Balloon, it gives extra air. However, they can only be used in aquatic stages.
