• the Ballon sniper is the best way to target an opponent who is a little too far away and untouchable in normal times,
• the Moon balloon changes your gravity and makes you float in the air longer,
• finally, the Bomb Balloon, as the name suggests, explodes on your opponent on contact: the fuse ignites the moment you pick up the ball and can explode on you if you’re not careful.
