Hot Air Balloon

Hot air balloons have appeared in a few Mario 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 and Luigi. Mario and Peach escape in the balloon, but Luigi is unable to board prior to liftoff. A group of Blue Toads and Yellow Toads then allow Luigi into their balloon, and they fly away to safety.
