==Design==
Jet Balloons mirror the appearance of [[Aquatank]]s, with some slight color changes. While the Aquatank boasts bright turquoise and blue colors, the jagged sections of the Jet Balloon's round, blimp-like body are dark, murky shades of sea-green and white, appearing stained in places.

Found only in ''Final Mix'', a Jet Balloon is a green variant of the [[Aquatank]] enemy (which, incidentally is ''not'' the similar blue color that it was in ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'', but instead red) found in [[Atlantica]]. They form a symbiotic relationship with [[Missilediver|Missiledivers]], firing them to keep Sora away. Jet Balloons are found only in [[Neverland]] on the deck of Hook's ship. Also be careful when the Missiledivers charge at you. This causes you to lose a ton of munny. To avoid it, fly out of the way or defend against it with Aero.
==Strategy==
==Strategy==
Jet Balloons are always flying away from Sora and launch Missiledivers when he begins to approach. They are also quick to vanish from the area, meaning it must be defeated quickly. A good way to do so would be to approach from below with Aeroga active to avoid being hit by Missiledivers while getting close enough to attack it.

The Jet Balloon appears as a special encounter on the [[Deck]] of the pirate ship. It is accompanied by Missile Divers, which it will fire at [[Sora]] while flying swiftly around the room. The Jet Balloon will disappear after a certain amount of time, determined by the amount of [[munny]] Sora has at the start of the battle. This ranges from 20 seconds at 100 munny to 60 seconds at 20,000 munny or more.

If a Missile Diver's Rush attack hits Sora, he will drop 100 munny; to avoid this, Sora should approach the Jet Balloon from below, or use Aeroga to deflect the Missile Divers. The Jet Balloon may drop multiple [[Dazzling Stone]]s when slain, but be careful to catch them before they hit the water, as they will disappear if they do. To avoid this, land the finishing blow when the Jet Balloon is flying above the ship. Treasure Magnet may help gather items dropped over water, if Sora is quick about it.


==Trivia==
Alternatively, frequent use of [[Stopga]] and [[Aeroga]] will freeze the Jet Balloon as well as the Missile Divers that come with it. Just be sure to enter the pirate ship's deck with a full [[MP gauge]], and keep hitting it until its [[HP]] is down.
The Jet Balloon adopts the [[Screwdiver]]'s green colors while the [[Missilediver]] adopts the [[Aquatank]]'s blue colors.

The Jet Balloon (ジェットバルーン Jetto Barūn?) is an Emblem Heartless that is found in Kingdom Hearts Final Mix.

Design[edit]

Jet Balloons mirror the appearance of Aquatanks, with some slight color changes. While the Aquatank boasts bright turquoise and blue colors, the jagged sections of the Jet Balloon's round, blimp-like body are dark, murky shades of sea-green and white, appearing stained in places.

The Jet Balloon's name is a reference to jet aircraft and engines, highlighting their speed and their ability to quickly fire their Missile Diver companions at foes. The Heartless's name is also a reference to a balloon, highlighting their round shape and their ability to float above the battlefield.

Strategy[edit]

See also: Missile Diver

The Jet Balloon appears as a special encounter on the Deck of the pirate ship. It is accompanied by Missile Divers, which it will fire at Sora while flying swiftly around the room. The Jet Balloon will disappear after a certain amount of time, determined by the amount of munny Sora has at the start of the battle. This ranges from 20 seconds at 100 munny to 60 seconds at 20,000 munny or more.

If a Missile Diver's Rush attack hits Sora, he will drop 100 munny; to avoid this, Sora should approach the Jet Balloon from below, or use Aeroga to deflect the Missile Divers. The Jet Balloon may drop multiple Dazzling Stones when slain, but be careful to catch them before they hit the water, as they will disappear if they do. To avoid this, land the finishing blow when the Jet Balloon is flying above the ship. Treasure Magnet may help gather items dropped over water, if Sora is quick about it.

Alternatively, frequent use of Stopga and Aeroga will freeze the Jet Balloon as well as the Missile Divers that come with it. Just be sure to enter the pirate ship's deck with a full MP gauge, and keep hitting it until its HP is down.
