The '''Balloon''' is a vehicle in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy]]'' and ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 2]]''. It looks like a hot air balloon. When using it, [[Starfy]] holds on to the rope. It is taught to Starfy by [[Mekani-jiisan|Old Man Mechani]] in both games.

==''[[Densetsu no Starfy]]''==
A certain door in the [[Coral Reef]] leads to a room where Starfy will meet Old Man Mechani, who will take Starfy to a quick demo where he will learn to use the Balloon.

==''[[Densetsu no Starfy 2]]''==

In Densetsu no Starfy 2, Old Man Mechani is found in [[Gluglug Lagoon]] (Stage 2-3). The Balloon can be upgraded by meeting Old Man Mechani again in the same location after defeating [[Ogura]] for the first time. The upgraded version unlocks extra secret levels in certain stages in addition to the ones unlocked after completing the main game. With the upgraded version it looks more like a mini Balloon. The upgrade allows Starfy to be able to move faster by using the B button to activate its jet.
