Balloon (item)
- This page is about the handheld item. For the balloons that hang in the air with presents, see Balloon.
Balloons are a handheld item in the Animal Crossing series. The player can hold balloons, and these items can also be placed as furniture. If the player trips while running, is stung by wasps, or falls in a pitfall (except in New Horizons) while holding a balloon, they will lose that balloon. Variants of balloons include bunny balloons and heart balloons.
Obtaining
In Animal Crossing and Doubutsu no Mori e+
In Animal Crossing, balloons are given out by Redd at the lake during the Fireworks Festival on July 4. Tom Nook will also give the player a free balloon in his store during a One Day Sale. In Doubutsu no Mori e+, Tom Nook sells balloons during One Day Sales in addition to the free one. Balloons can be held or placed as furniture, but they cannot be dropped, only "let go" which releases them into the sky. There are five colors of balloons and three colors of bunny balloons:
