Zebra Elder's Rehearsal Hall Balloon Locations

Balloon #1

The first balloon is found during the Amuse-Boost Challenge.

Balloon #2

The second balloon appears in Hurl d’Oeuvres.

In the section with spikes and enemies that you must defeat to form golden paths, look for a platform in the middle. Punch an enemy toward this central platform to create a bridge, then head over to grab the balloon.

Balloon #3

Balloon 3

The third balloon is located in the Shocking Cioppino 2D platforming challenge.

It’s right along your path, between water gaps. You’ll run into it naturally as you progress, just make sure you grab onto it.

Balloon #4

You’ll find the fourth balloon in the Switcheroo Entree relay course.

After clearing the platforming section with waves of rolling spikes, the balloon will appear on the next platform. Make sure to create a path using the Switcheroo Goo from the previous platform so you can safely reach it.

Balloon #5

The final balloon is located in the Dangerous Dessert challenge course.

Once you’ve made it past the terrain conveyor belt, look for a zipline at the end of the path. Grab a chunk of terrain from the conveyor belt and use it to cross over to the zipline and reach the balloon.
