Balloon is a Copy Ability in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby: Canvas Curse.
Games
Kirby: Canvas Curse
Balloon focuses on inflating Kirby to make him bigger and bouncier. Balloon doesn't have any method of damaging enemies normally, but popping does stun all enemies on screen; it seems to act as a replacement for Kirby's Hover technique, which is not available in this game. Balloon is obtained from the Bloon enemy.
Kirby has a similar form when gathering all of the Sparkling Stars, but this is not the same.
Techniques
| Move | Controls | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Inflate | Tap Kirby | Kirby inflates and rises upward slightly. Kirby now bounces along surfaces. |

Trivia
- Balloon is the first Copy Ability to debut in a spin-off in the Kirby series.
- Balloon is the only Copy Ability in Kirby: Canvas Curse that can be retained after taking damage (excluding the Special Courses in Rainbow Run, where Copy Abilities cannot be dropped). This only occurs if Kirby takes damage while inflated.
