In the original game, Balloons themselves cannot be found; however, in the PlayStation and Jaguar versions, an enormous present-shaped balloon can be seen on the map of [[the valley]]. No reason is ever given for its presence, and it appears merely as a decoration on the World Map screen.

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 the original game.

These balloons also appear in ''[[Rayman Collector]]'''s [[le bouingue]] minigame, where Rayman must pop them with the help of [[Bzzit]].
