Item Balloon



Baron von Zeppelins are different colored balloons with smiley faces that appeared in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Island DS. Whenever they are seen, they carry an Item. The item can be either helpful or harmful, such as an Extra Life or even drop Needlenoses. Usually, they drop an item or the enemy when a Yoshi goes under it. Three Barons also carry crates together. They also help in the final battle against Baby Bowser by dropping Giant Eggs.

In Yoshi's Story, a similar type of species called Air Bags appear.
