Hot-Air Balloon Yoshi

A Yoshi Hot-Air Balloon is a form the Yoshis can transform into in Yoshi's New Island by entering a Whirly Gate with a balloon sign on it. It is similar to Balloon Yoshi found in Yoshi Topsy-Turvy.

In this form, the Yoshi can float upwards and can move left and right with the or by tilting. Like all forms in this game, the Hot-Air Balloon lasts for a limited time, but clocks scattered about the obstacle course can provide the Yoshi with more time. Some propellers found within the couse can blow Yoshi and make easier to get to a different area. Going through a ring will revert Yoshi to his normal form.
