In [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], balloons themselves cannot be found; however, in the PlayStation and Atari 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. | In [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], balloons themselves cannot be found; however, in the PlayStation and [[Rayman (Atari Jaguar)|Atari Jaguar]] versions, an enormous present-shaped balloon can be seen on the map of [[the valley]].

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. | 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.

In ''[[Rayman 3]]'', balloons make a much more prominent appearance than they do in any other game in [[Rayman (series)|the series]], both [[Rayman]] and the [[Hoodlum]]s use balloons as a means of traversing various kinds of otherwise impassable territory. | |||
Large balloons known as [[Hoodlum Zeppelin]]s carry various [[Hoodlum]]s from one place to another. On their sides they bear crude insignia depicting [[Black Lum]]s. Sets of smaller balloons are used by individual [[Hoodlum]]s as a means of quickly moving across reasonably large gaps and are usually found deep within their territory. The [[Hoodlum]]s like this method of travel because they believe "it’s exotic, it’s sporty and it weeds out the clumsier soldiers". A single [[Hoodlum]] holding one of these balloons is capable of flight, but if they are attacked while holding a balloon, the [[Hoodlum]] inflates and is immediately defeated; if the [[Hoodlum]] is standing on the balloon then the [[Hoodlum]] falls to the ground and attacks. [[Rayman]] often finds their chains of balloons unattended, and can use them as platforms; touching one will cause it to pop, sending [[Rayman]] bouncing high into the air. They quickly re-appear so that they can be used as platforms once more. One minigame, simply titled ‘[[Balloons]]’, revolves solely around this type of type of travel; [[Rayman]] must use chains comprising hundreds of balloons to cross a series of ships and icebergs in [[the Looming Sea]]. | Large balloons known as [[Hoodlum Zeppelin]]s carry various [[Hoodlum]]s from one place to another.

Balloons in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']] are of yellow and green colouration, and will automatically inflate upon [[Rayman]]'s approach, they burst immediately after [[Rayman]] has bounced off of them, but will reinflate soon after. | Balloons in [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman 3'']] are of yellow and green colouration, and will automatically inflate upon [[Rayman]]'s approach, they burst immediately after [[Rayman]] has bounced off of them, but will reinflate soon after. | ||
