==In [[Rayman 1|''Rayman'']] and its spin-offs==
==In the original ''Rayman''==
In [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], balloons appear in the sixth part of [[Eat at Joe's]], in [[the Caves of Skops]]. They are yellow in color with the word "Joe" written in white. They are used by [[Rayman]] to cross a large body of water, and are sometimes pushed by [[large-nosed fish]].

Balloons appear in ''[[Rayman Designer]]'' and its spin-offs as core gameplay elements in several levels. They appear as purple balloons bearing the white letter ‘R’ – thus giving them a resemblance to [[Rayman's symbol]] – often appear in the new areas, and the played can also add them to their own custom levels. These balloons levitate in one spot; [[Rayman]] can inflate them by punching them with his [[telescopic fist]]. When he stands on them, they deflate within a fraction of a second, creating new platforming challenges not present in [[Rayman 1|the original game]].

A hot air balloon also appears at the end of the first phase of [[the Iron Mountains]], where it takes [[Rayman]] to the second phase. Another one can also be found in its remake, ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', in [[Rainbow Creek]], where it takes [[Rayman]] to [[the Precipice]]. Since the two hot air balloons are identical, it is possible that they are the same one.
