Boo Balloon

A Boo Balloon is a Boo in the shape of a blue balloon in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Boo Balloons race about the screen, trying to deal damage to a Yoshi. They inflate when hit with an egg. After three hits, they explode, yielding coins or sometimes a ! Switch. Boo Balloons appear in Bigger Boo's Fort and Don't Look Back!, with the former called Blue Boos in the Nintendo Power SNES guide due to the black background rendering the string invisible.

 * Shogakukan guide: 風船みたいにふわふわ浮かんでいる. 急降下で襲ってきたら、舌をのばして追い返そう. (They float around like balloons. If they swoop down and attack you, stretch out your tongue to send them away.)
 * Player's Guide (Blue Boo): They only flutter in the darkest chamber of Bigger Boo's castle. Hit them with three eggs.
 * Player's Guide (Boo Balloon): If he could, Boo Balloon would get a mowhawk and a bunch of tattoos to show what a toughie he is.

 * Shogakukan guide: 風船みたいにふわふわ浮いている. 急降下でおそってきたら、舌をのばして追い返そう. タマゴを３回当てると倒すことかできる. (They float around like balloons. If it swoops down on you, stretch out your tongue to drive it back. If you hit it with an egg three times, you can defeat it.)
