Balloon[1] is an item resembling a red balloon with a "G" on it which appears Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble. When touching these, Kirby gains the ability to Hover through the air and fire Air Bullets at enemies when the A button is pressed, but only for 15 seconds at a time before having to come back down. While hovering, the player has full control over Kirby, and can steer him in any given direction, though he always faces upward. Collecting another balloon during a flight resets the timer to 15 seconds, rather than adding 15.
