 ==History==
 ===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''===
-[[File:Red-Hot Ride DKC2.png|thumb|left|The Kongs riding on a Hot Air Balloon in Red-Hot Ride in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'']]
+In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Hot Air Balloons appear only in [[Red-Hot Ride]], as a key feature for making it through the level. [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] can stand on a Hot Air Balloon and lean either left or right to control its movement. If the [[Kong]]s stand at the edge of a Hot Air Balloon, the animation of them about to fall off is shown, even though they cannot walk off of a Hot Air Balloon. By default, a Hot Air Balloon slowly descends into the lava, but it can be suspended in midair if it is floating at the top of a thermal column, which come in varying heights. Most Hot Air Balloons start off at the top of a thermal column. Throughout Red-Hot Ride, the Kongs must maneuver the Hot Air Balloon past a series of enemies, especially [[Zinger]]s, until reaching the next Hot Air Balloon or the ground. Some of the Hot Air Balloons have a [[DK Barrel]] on it, or even either one of two enemies: [[Kruncha]] or [[Neek]]. Although they walk back and forth on a Hot Air Balloon, this does not affect the direction of its movement.
-In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Hot Air Balloons only appear in the level, [[Red-Hot Ride]], where they are featured throughout. Diddy and Dixie can stand on a Hot Air Balloon and control the direction that it moves in by leaning either left or right. If the [[Kong]]s stand at the edge of a Hot Air Balloon, the animation of them about to fall off is shown, even though they cannot walk off a Hot Air Balloon. They can only leave a Hot Air Balloon by [[jump]]ing off of it.
-By default, a Hot Air Balloon slowly descends into the lava, but it can be suspended in midair if it is floating at the top of a thermal column. The thermal columns are at varying heights, and the Hot Air Balloon stops rising when it reaches the top of a thermal column. Most Hot Air Balloons start off at the top of a thermal column.
-Throughout Red-Hot Ride, the Kongs must maneuver the Hot Air Balloon past a series of enemies, especially [[Zinger]]s, until they reach the next Hot Air Balloon or land. This usually occurs a few times before the Kongs reach the land. Some of the Hot Air Balloons have a [[DK Barrel]] or an enemy such as a [[Kruncha]] or [[Neek]] on them. Although the enemies walk back and forth on a Hot Air Balloon, this does not affect the direction of the Hot Air Balloon. Krunchas can only be defeated from either a [[team up]] throw or by having an object thrown at it, as Diddy and Dixie cannot get onto the Hot Air Balloon otherwise.
 ===''Donkey Kong Land 2''===
-In their second appearance, ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', Hot Air Balloons have the same purpose as in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', although they have a slightly wider appearance. They only appear in two levels, both of which take place in a volcanic area, [[Redhot Ride]] and [[Fiery Furnace (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Fiery Furnace]]. There are no thermal columns, so Diddy or Dixie cannot suspend it back into midair.
+In ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', Hot Air Balloons, function identically as before, although their appearance is slightly wider. They appear in only two [[level]]s, both taking place in a volcanic environment: [[Redhot Ride]] and [[Fiery Furnace (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Fiery Furnace]]. There are no thermal columns along the way, so a Hot Air Balloon cannot be suspended back in midair.
