Appearance
Balloony appears to be a balloon with an unknown type of gas in it. Balloony's body is jade, his shading is emerald, and his shine is mint.

Personality
Balloony is a generally kind character, but he won't take attitude from other characters, and can become irritable towards bossy teammates. Balloony has proven to be smart and good at problem-solving, similar to Tennis Ball. Balloony is also pretty brave; when deflated, he isn't capable of too much movement, let alone being able to even stand. Balloony can also be protective, as seen in "What Do You Think of Roleplay", when he told Nickel not to stab Woody.
Official Character Guide biography
Balloony is a balloon filled, apparently, with air. He can move around by letting air, but it leaves him deflated. Not a good look for a balloon. Balloony hates to be told what to do, and be tries to rely on himself to accomplish things because he doesn't trust others to do it right.
Like all balloons, it's important for Balloony to avoid sharp objects and being over inflated.
Did You Know?: Balloony tried filling himself with helium just once. It was very painful.

Battle for BFDI
In "Getting Teardrop to Talk", after Flower gets Black Hole to move towards the Earth, Balloony asks her what she did before getting sucked up by him. When Four appears, he revives him, much to his happiness. He's picked out by Leafy to be on her team, despite not needing her help. He manages to successfully get their team's basket back to X by deflating himself, making their team safe.
In "Lick Your Way to Freedom", he stays deflated throughout most of the episode. He tells David to start licking the jawbreaker, but David refuses. He uses Rocky's acid to melt a jawbreaker, saying that his vomit was salt-and-vinegar-flavored. He is popped while being inflated by Leafy at the ending.
In "Why Would You Do This on a Swingset", he is finally revived by Four and receives the least amount of votes to be eliminated. Balloony receives an Earth, which he pokes with his finger, seemingly crushing Four. He asks if Rocky is safe, and when he is, Balloony tells him that everyone liked salt and vinegar. When Cloudy is about to vomit due to realizing a man looks like David, he gets excited and expects more salt and vinegar. He is happy about Leafy getting eliminated, as there will be no more rules for the team to follow as a result. During the challenge, he, Nickel and Roboty, come up with the plan to have Cloudy push the swing around fifty times so that the team can be safe.
In "Today's Very Special Episode", he gets angry at David for not liking how they made their Four cake.
In "Fortunate Ben", during the flying contest, he makes a sarcastic comment about David being good at piloting. When the plane starts falling due to the weight, Balloony mentions not to hit the cliff, because doing so will cause them to be the first to hit the ground. He tries to come up with a way to change the air flow, and Woody dabs. Balloony thinks this is a genius idea and the whole team starts dabbing. Balloony thinks this isn't enough and is relieved when David finally wakes up. However, they don't make it over the cliff, and hit the ground and losing the contest. This causes the team to be up for elimination.
In "Four Goes Too Far", Four calls their team "Beep Beep". Balloony says that wasn't their team name, and Roboty beeps twice after that wasn't helping. This time, the amount of votes Balloony receives is in the middle, and he gets turned orange as a prize. When Four gets multiplied by zero (Donut), he asks how they will know whether David or Roboty will be eliminated. After finding out Roboty has the most votes, he starts to say how he'll miss Roboty before realizing he has disappeared and asks where he is with a shout.
In "The Liar Ball You Don't Want", Balloony carries Rocky out of the elimination area. After Cake at Stake, he asks what Donut did with Loser. When Donut simply tells him he eliminated him, Balloony angrily repeats the question. In the challenge, Balloony is the first to get the Liar Ball, but is then popped by Stapy.
Balloony doesn't appear in "Questions Answered" and "This Episode Is About Basketball", as he was dead at the time.
In "Enter the Exit", Cloudy tells X about how he misses Balloony. When the other contestants want their friends back, they try to recover Four. When they do, he recovers Balloony along with the other dead contestants. When he sees Cloudy, he starts to take off his bandages, but is disgusted when he finds out that underneath them, the color of Cloudy hadn't changed.
In "Get to the Top in 500 Steps", Balloony leans in close to Four in order to listen to a weird noise coming from him. However, X warns him not to stand there. Balloony attempts to argue, but X forces Balloony to leave. It's then revealed that Leafy had rejoined, but Balloony, along the other members of Beep, back away from her since they don't want her in their team anymore due to how she acted prior to being eliminated.
For the challenge, Balloony was chosen to walk up the stairs for his team. When Dora shot up the stairs quickly, she pushed him off, along with Tennis Ball, Bomby and Flower, but Balloony floated back down onto the stairs and pressed the button for his team.
In "What Do You Think of Roleplay?", Balloony gets upset at Nickel when he points a fork at Woody, and tells him not to stab him. Nickel says he wasn't going to, but Balloony still wants the fork from him. They fight over it until they both fall over and the fork pops Balloony. This actually worked in the team's favor, as it gets "Rocky" to talk and exposes Basketball to be the impostor.
In "Return of the Rocket Ship" , after Team Ice Cube! falls into the hole that Lightning created, Balloony tells his team that since they're just a team of followers, they should jump in as well, which they do. Later on, when Balloony's team is falling down the hole, he sarcastically states in between screams that his life is just great.
As BEEP are about to land on top of Team Ice Cube! and Bubble, Ruby comes up with a plan to divert BEEP's path. Ruby and the rest of iance blow on BEEP as they are falling and Balloony and his team get blown in a hole off to the side. As they are now stuck in the hole, Cloudy gets angry at Balloony for forgetting the shovels that he asked him to collect. Balloony retorts by reminding Cloudy that he is an airhead. Woody starts to shake Rocky and say something unintelligible to to everyone but Balloony, who immediately understands that he is trying to say "salt and vinegar" (referring to Rocky's vomit). Woody is delighted that Balloony understood what he was trying to say, but the happiness is cut short by Balloony taking Rocky and swinging him all around, hitting everyone in the hole. Rocky barfs, melting a smaller hole in the floor beneath them, which they all jump into.
In "Don't Dig Straight Down", Balloony disagrees with Nickel about how smooth the challenge is going for them and adds that Rocky's vomit isn’t eroding as fast as they are falling. He then follows Nickel's order which is to grab on Cloudy and cheers with the rest of the team. Balloony sees Naily falling and exclaimed that this makes no sense. When 
and Naily are trying to avoid the lava, Balloony reminds them of the acid and orders Cloudy to turn around. He tells Cloudy to turn around again when he remembers the lava. Cloudy says that they need Rocky to bark more acid, but Balloony tells Cloudy that Rocky's stomach is empty. When Nickel suggests a refill, Balloony assumes Nickel volunteered to be eaten and tells Rocky to do so. They then land on top of Golf Ball's Underground Factory.
Having no other options, Balloony starts try to dig through the solid ground with his hand. Balloony is annoyed that others are not helping, and warns them that the lava is only a few feet away. Then, he uses Naily in order to break through, which causes an alarm to go off. Later on, he dies when the lava comes in contact with his head.
