Expanding Balloon

Expanding Balloons are an obstacle in *Fall Guys*, first introduced in Season 5 (Legacy).

## Obstacle Description

Expanding Balloons are obstacles that toggle between inflated and deflated stances. When inflating, they double in size and knock every nearby Fall Guy away from their center. Expanding Balloons are typically immobile, but can rotate or even move on a set path, provided they are on a rail, much like Donut Bumpers.

In Season 5 (Legacy)-themed levels, the balloons appear as green frogs.
In Season 6 (Legacy)-themed levels, the balloons appear as orange heads with party hats.
In Legacy Seasons 1-themed levels, the balloons appear as pink & white balls.

### Bubble Trouble

One of the five areas of Bubble Trouble features an Expanding Frog in its center, surrounded by four Drawbridges. Players can stand on top of it and wait for the frog to expand and bounce them towards a golden Bubble.

As of Season 5.fun, a giant Expanding Frog (christened King Frog) may be situated at the centre of the top platform of the Lily Pad section.

### Door Dash

As of Season 5.fun, the final stretch before the finish line on Door Dash may be flooded and there will be a series of expanding balloons that make traversal difficult.

### Fall Mountain

As of Season 5.fun, the rotating hammers in the final stretch just before the crown on Fall Mountain may be replaced by expanding balloons instead.

### Lily Leapers

As of Season 5.fun, some lily pads in the water area on Lily Leapers may be replaced by expanding frogs instead.

### Lost Temple

Expanding Frogs are featured in many possible room setups in Lost Temple. They generally push players away from the path, causing them to lose time.

### Party Promenade

The first section of Party Promenade has several expanding balloons resting on pillars.

### Pegwin Pool Party

A single Expanding Frog is located in the Pegwin Pool Party arena. It is located on an "island" underneath the bigger Slime Slide. It is a popular hiding spot for players who are carrying a Pegwin and wish to remain out of sight. As of Season 5.fun, the island with the donut pushers may be replaced by an expanding frog resting atop a spinning plate.

### Pipe Dream

Two rows of expanding heads appear in the center platform of the third section of Pipe Dream.

### Slime Climb

As of Season 5.fun, the obstacles in the final stretch before the finish line on Slime Climb may be replaced by four expanding balloons.

### Treetop Tumble

Expanding Frogs are featured in many different sections of Treetop Tumble. One is located on top of each Spinning Plate in the first section of the upper path. Several are located in the second section of the lower path (underneath the Lily Pads), four are located along the upper path Beams just after both paths converge. Finally, a single frog sits atop a totem just before the finish line. This last frog can interrupt the players bouncing on the lily pad drums.

## Trivia

* A frog is one of three faces that can be found on numerous banners all around the tropical levels.
* Expanding Balloons are currently only present in Season 1 (Legacy), Season 5 (Legacy) and Season 6 (Legacy) rounds.
* The Expanding Balloons in Season 6 (Legacy) rounds look quite similar to Blast Balls, despite being completely different obstacles.
