'''Balloon''' is a [[Copy Ability]] that debuted in ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]''. It allows [[Kirby]] to inflate and float like a balloon, and attack enemies by popping after expanding a lot. Despite this potential offensive use, the ability is primarily meant to enhance Kirby's movement capabilities, momentarily freeing him from the [[Rainbow Line]]s he is normally dependent on. With the right amount of momentum, Balloon Kirby is capable of traversing great distances very quickly, though his inflated size makes him a much bigger target than usual, so care is needed when making use of the ability to keep Kirby safe.

Balloon debuts in ''Kirby: Canvas Curse'', obtained by defeating the enemy [[Bloon]]. With it, Kirby can float for a short time when touched with the [[Nintendo DS|DS]] stylus, growing in the process as well. He will soon drop down again, at which point he can be tapped again, growing bigger and moving up again. If he touches any surface in this state, he will bounce away from it. When tapped enough times, he will eventually explode, although he can be blown up again in the same cycle.

Taking damage while blown up will make Kirby pop, although he will not lose the ability under this circumstance.


In the [[Rainbow Run]] mode, the Balloon ability is one of four abilities with its own pair of courses, the others being [[Stone]], [[Missile]], and [[Wheel]].
