Blimp Fruit

"This taste delicious, yes?"

Blimp Fruits are a special type of fruit appearing in Super Mario Galaxy 2, resembling light blue Berries with a small stem. Along with the Dash Pepper and the Bulb Berry, they are specially made for Yoshi to eat. When Yoshi consumes the fruit, he changes from green to light blue and inflates (taking the form of Blimp Yoshi), similar to the Balloon Mario power-up.

Blimp Yoshi can propel himself upward by exhaling the air inside him or hover in the same place. Like Bee Mario, a meter appears to show how long Yoshi can stay afloat. Once the meter empties, Yoshi reverts back to normal. Blimp Fruits play a key role in the Tall Trunk Galaxy, and are also found in the Starshine Beach and Flash Back galaxies, as well as in an area near the end of Bowser's Galaxy Generator.
