Balloon
A sprite of the Balloons from Yoshi's Island.
First appearance Donkey Kong Land (1995)
Latest appearance Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World (2017)

Balloons are platforms that a Yoshi can ride on in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and its reissue. They appear in Don't Look Back! and a bonus area in Beware The Spinning Logs, where they come in different colors. Stepping on one of them causes it to stop its natural rising, and using them too long results in their disappearance. They reappear with the same function in Yoshi's Island DS in levels Windblown Wilderness and Superhard Acrobatics!, and they also appear in Yoshi's New Island.

In Super Princess Peach, balloons always come in red, and they gain magenta cheeks. They appear in Giddy Sky and never move. If Peach stands on them, they go down slowly. If Peach jumps off one, it rises. To make use of them, Peach has to jump repeatedly and get off before they vanish.

Balloons also appear in Donkey Kong Land, where they are present only in Big Ape City's Construction Site Fight. The balloons rise up and down, and the player must time their jumps in order to land safely.

Balloons feature in Yoshi's Woolly World, acting as they did in previous games. Balloons can be popped by Bullet Bills and Bull's-Eye Bills.
