| '''Merfle Barrels'''<ref>''Wario Land: Shake It!'' English instruction booklet. Page 10.</ref>, also known as '''Merfle cages'''<ref>Stratton, Steve. Wario Land: Shake It! PRIMA Official Strategy Guide. Pg.8</ref> are [[barrel]]-shaped cages used by the [[Shake King]] to imprison the [[Merfle]]s in ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]'' In each regular level, [[Wario]] must find the Merfle Barrel, pick it up, and frantically shake it to free the Merfle, initiating a timer that prompts Wario to hurry back to the start of the stage. Wario can neither throw the Merfle Barrel nor walk while holding it. | | A '''Merfle Barrel''' is a [[barrel]]-shaped cage that the evil [[Shake King]] imprisoned the [[Merfle]]s in during the events of ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]'' [[Wario]] must frantically shake the tiny prison to free the Merfle so he can show Wario the way back to the start of the stage on most levels, before the Shake King nabs and defeats Wario and takes all his coins. Most of the time, the barrels will be located at the end of the level. However, some levels like [[Launchpad Labyrinth]] and [[Lowdown Depths]] have the Merfle Barrels located at the start of the level. |

| Most of the time, Merfle Barrels are located at the end of a level. Alternatively, some levels like [[Launchpad Labyrinth]] and [[Lowdown Depths]] have the Merfle Barrels located roughly at the beginning of the level instead, with an obstacle preventing Wario from heading back to the starting point once the Merfle is freed, prompting him to navigate through the entire level on a time limit to get back. In some levels, there are blue, metallic blocks that will break once Wario destroys a Merfle Barrel, granting access further into the area. | |
| | |
| In [[Subwarine]] levels, Merfle Barrels are smaller, and the Merfle inside one breaks out by itself once the [[Gate (enemy)|gate]] at the end of the level is destroyed.
