Astro Botplayers can find Balloon Breeze in the Camo Cosmos system, though only after they’ve completedthe Hieroglitch Pyramid stage. It has ten collectibles in total (seven Bots and three Puzzle Pieces), as well as a secret exit that will warp players to a new Lost Galaxy stage.
Finding all of the Bots and Puzzle Pieces isn’t too challenging, but trying to pinpoint the location of the Balloon Breeze secret exit can be an absolute nightmare, as it requiresAstro Botplayers to double back on themselves fairly early on in the stage. With that in mind, this guide should prove helpful.
Balloon Breeze Puzzle Piece #1
The first Balloon Breeze Puzzle Piece is on top of a flower at the very beginning of the stage. To reach it, players will need to use the red ladybug enemy.
Balloon Breeze Bot #1
The stage’s first Bot is hanging from a purple flower right next to the first Puzzle Piece. To reach it, players will again need to use the ladybug enemy.
Balloon Breeze Portal / Secret Exit
After collecting the pufferfish power-up from the giant robot, players should turn around and look for a floating island off in the distance. Using a combination of the ladybug enemy, Astro’s boosters, and the pufferfish power-up, they’ll be able to reach this floating land mass, on which they’ll find a blue flower. Performing a spinning punch while standing next to the flower will cause another floating island to appear, which players can reach using the pufferfish power-up. Once there, they should use the disc-firing device to cut down the bamboo and then use Astro’s booster to go around the edge of the circular platform to revealthe Balloon Breeze Lost Galaxy warp portal.
Balloon Breeze Bot #2
After collecting the pufferfish power-up, players will be able to find a cameo Bot based on the titular character fromNamco’sKlonoagameson top of the giant robot’s head.
Balloon Breeze Puzzle Piece #2
Not long after that, players will come to a floating island with two pufferfish enemies on it. There are two cables sticking out of the ground here near a wooden plank on the left side of the island. If they pull the one on the left, players will uncover the second Balloon Breeze Puzzle Piece.
Balloon Breeze Bot #3
In the next area, the giant robot will use his watering can to make some flowers grow out of the ground. After he does so, players will be able to find a Bot clinging to a purple flower on their left.
Balloon Breeze Bot #4
A little later on in the stage, players will come to a platform with a plant pot in the center of it and a giant yellow caterpillar. Using the pufferfish power-up on the latter will cause it to deflate, allowing players to rescuea cameo Bot based on Boku fromBoku no Natsuyasumi, who is hiding inside the plant pot.
Balloon Breeze Bot #5
After rescuing the Boku Bot, players should use the pufferfish power-up to get inside the giant robot’s watering can, where they’ll find the fifth Balloon Breeze Bot swimming around.
Balloon Breeze Bot #6
The sixth Balloon Breeze Bot is being carried around by a bee enemy above a floating island with two colorful mushrooms on it.
Balloon Breeze Puzzle Piece #3
The final Balloon Breeze Puzzle Piece is floating above a giant blue inflatable whale in the final section of the stage.
Balloon Breeze Bot #7
Not long after collecting the stage’s final Puzzle Piece, players will need to get on top of a spinning white and yellow flower. To the right of this flower is a cloud, on top of which is the last Balloon Breeze Bot.
