Blue Balloons return with a different purpose in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and its Nintendo Switch port, where they can be obtained at Funky's Fly 'n' Buy for five Banana Coins. If Donkey Kong (or Funky Kong in the Nintendo Switch version) equips a Blue Balloon, it grants extra air underwater.
