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 | 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. | ||
