Power Balloon: Difference between revisions

In ''Super Mario World'' and [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|its remake]], Power Balloons can be found in four levels: [[Donut Secret 1]], [[Donut Secret 2]], [[Forest of Illusion 1]], and [[Tubular]]. The item's effect is to make whoever picks it up swell up and become [[Balloon Mario]] or Balloon Luigi, causing them to hover in the air. They will gradually float upwards if not moved by the player, but are capable of moving in any direction for a limited amount of time. During this time, [[Yoshi]] cannot be ridden. Mario or Luigi will start to puff in and out when the item is about to wear off, and when it does they return to normal size and drop 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 pass through a [[Giant Gate]] while under the effects of the Power Balloon, they will gain a bonus [[Super Mushroom]].
