“This brand-new Blue Balloon has everything you need for some excellent underwater air time!”
Funky Kong, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze

The Blue Balloon is an item in the Donkey Kong Country series. It is identical to a Red Balloon, except, as its name indicates, it is colored blue. In the first three Donkey Kong Country games, it serves as a type of Extra Life Balloon[1] and grants three extra lives.

It is retooled with a different purpose in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and its Nintendo Switch port, where it can be obtained at Funky's Fly 'n' Buy for five Banana Coins. If Donkey Kong (or Funky Kong in the Nintendo Switch version) equips a Blue Balloon, it grants extra air underwater.
