===''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.

Hot Air Balloons are first used in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', where they appear as blue inflated balloons about the size of the [[Kong]]s. They are only encountered in [[Red-Hot Ride]], where they can be mounted on top as a platform and used to cross large portions of [[lava]] throughout the level. The Kongs can abandon a Hot Air Balloon by jumping off it, but trying to walk or run on the edge of the balloon will instead move it in the corresponding direction. Hot Air Balloons are held up in the air by thermal columns that rise out of the lava, but will go down slowly when not in contact with a thermal. The Kongs must maneuver the balloon through an obstacle course and reach the next thermal, Hot Air Balloon, or a piece of land before the balloon sinks along with them into the lava. Most Hot Air Balloons are initially positioned at the top of a thermal to allow the Kongs to mount them anytime. Some Hot Air Balloons also sustain elements such as objects (a [[DK Barrel]] in this instance) and enemies (a [[Kruncha]] and a [[Neek]]).


===''Donkey Kong Land 2''===
===''Donkey Kong Land 2''===
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.
Hot Air Balloons return in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' with the same use and appearance. They reappear in [[Redhot Ride]], as well as in [[Fiery Furnace (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Fiery Furnace]].

*'''[[Virtual Console]] manual bio:''' "''Jump on these to cross perilous gaps. Press {{button|3ds|Padleftright}} to move left or right. The balloons will gradually start to descend after you jump on them.''"
