The Jet Balloon is a special Heartless introduced in Kingdom Hearts Final Mix. It shares similarities with the Aquatank and Screwdiver Heartless, and drops the rare Dazzling Stone synthesis item.

Finding the Jet Balloon

The Jet Balloon Heartless is only found on the deck of Captain Hook's pirate ship in Neverland after clearing the story episode. This area can spawn three different Heartless waves (Pirates and Darkballs, Rare Truffles, Jet Balloon). You'll know you've encountered the right one when the Jet Balloon is the only Heartless in the area; if any other Heartless appear instead, leave and re-enter the area.

The Jet Balloon will disappear after a period of time; the duration of its stay is dependent upon how much Munny Sora has. If you're trying to get the Jet Balloon to respawn, try leaving the world via gummi ship and immediately returning.

Defeating the Jet Balloon

The Jet Balloon is very fast! It will fly around the area at high speeds and release its Missile Divers to strike you. If Sora is struck by a Missle Diver, he will drop a lot of his Munny; be sure to have Treasure Magnet equipped so you can pick it up again.

To avoid the Missle Divers, approach the Jet Balloon from below, or cast Aeroga magic on Sora to deflect them. When you are near the Jet Balloon, cast Stopra/ga magic on it to halt it for a short time.

Don't forget: the duration of your Stop spell is dependent upon your MP and magic stat, so equip a keychain and accessories that boost your MP/magic!

Obtaining the Dazzling Stone

The Jet Balloon will always drop one Dazzling Stone upon defeat, but it has a 20% chance of dropping another! To improve your odds, equip all Lucky Strike abilities to the party.

If Sora possesses less than 100 Munny when defeating the Jet Balloon, it will NOT drop the Dazzling Stone. Return with more Munny and avoid the Missle Divers when defeating the Jet Balloon.
