What Are Harvest Balloons?

All balloons are considered Wilderness Balloons that players must collect to clear a stage. So far, these Wilderness Balloons have 2 different types: Harvest Balloons and Solar Balloons. The total number of Balloons on any stage is sum of both Harvest Balloons and Solar Balloons on that stage.

A stage will have very few Solar Balloons, but Harvest Balloons are much more plentiful. These are the purple balloons you will see lined up across various locations on the map, and your job will be to simply go up to and collect them.

Collecting Harvest Balloons

To collect Harvest Balloons, all you need to do is approach them. If they fall within your Balloon collection radius, then you will see them pop in a burst and add to your overall Wilderness Balloon count. You can increase your Balloon collection radius by using specific Wilderness Compass abilities.
