The first two games, ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', the Extra Life Balloons have the same shape as their ''Donkey Kong Country'' counterparts. In ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', which recycles many of its sprites directly from ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', the Life Balloons are still in the shape of Diddy's head despite him not appearing in the game. In the [[Game Boy Color]] port of ''Donkey Kong Land III'', the Extra Life Balloon sprites are red, which affirms them representing Red Balloons.
