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 a 1-Up 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.
