How to use Balloons

You can attach multiple balloons to your character, by repeating the process outlined above. Balloons essentially increase your jump height and duration. The more Balloons, the higher the jump, and the longer you'll stay in the air.
To detach Balloons, you just need to press and hold down the right stick while in the air. This can be used to control your descent.
