In ''Super Mario World'' and [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|its reissue]], Power Balloons can be found in four [[level]]s: [[Donut Secret 1]], [[Donut Secret 2]], [[Forest of Illusion 1]], and [[Tubular]]. | In ''Super Mario World'' and [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|its reissue]], Power Balloons can be found in four [[level]]s: [[Donut Secret 1]], [[Donut Secret 2]], [[Forest of Illusion 1]], and [[Tubular]]. A Power Balloon's effect is to make whoever picks it up swell up and become [[Balloon Mario]] or Balloon [[Luigi]], causing him to hover in the air. He will gradually float upwards if not moved by the player, but he is capable of moving in any direction for a limited amount of time. During this time, [[Yoshi]] cannot be ridden, nor can [[shell]]s or other carriable items be grabbed. [[Mario]] or Luigi starts to puff in and out when the item is about to wear off, and when it does, he returns to normal size and drops out of the air. The level Tubular in the [[Special Zone]] requires the player to continually pick up new Power Balloons to maintain flight while they make their way across the level. If Mario or Luigi passes through a [[Giant Gate]] while under the effects of a Power Balloon, he will gain a bonus [[Super Mushroom]]. | ||
If Mario or Luigi has the powers of a Super Mushroom, [[Fire Flower]], or [[Cape Feather]] and grabs a Power Balloon, he will still have whatever powers he originally had as well as those of the Power Balloon. However, if he collects any of these items while under the effects of a Power Balloon, the Power Balloon's power will instantly wear off. Exclusively in ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2'', when Mario or Luigi grabs a Power Balloon, the music becomes slightly slower than usual. Slow music also plays in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' while Mario is under the effects of the [[Power Flower (Super Mario 64 DS)|Power Flower]]. | If Mario or Luigi has the powers of a Super Mushroom, [[Fire Flower]], or [[Cape Feather]] and grabs a Power Balloon, he will still have whatever powers he originally had as well as those of the Power Balloon.

Power Balloons were added to ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' in the version 3.0.0 update released on April 22, 2020, available only in the ''Super Mario World'' style. In this game, the Power Balloon item floats in place rather than floating away to the right, and it is now bright yellow rather than beige. The character's appearance also changes more drastically when the character obtains the item, with Mario's and Luigi's overalls and [[Toad]]'s and [[Toadette]]'s undershirts turning yellow with a letter | Power Balloons were added to ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' in the version 3.0.0 update released on April 22, 2020, available only in the ''Super Mario World'' style.

The character's appearance also changes more drastically when the character obtains the item, with Mario's and Luigi's overalls and [[Toad]]'s and [[Toadette]]'s undershirts turning yellow with a letter ''P'' on them (the ''P'' is on Toadette's dress in her case), similar to what the [[P-Wing]] does. The functionality of the Power Balloon form was also altered, allowing the character to be fully in control of which angle and direction they are floating towards, as opposed to the original game's simple vertical and horizontal mobility. The time limit is also removed. In the nighttime ground theme, Power Balloons fly around in circles, eventually disappearing. | ||
