"'''''CREEPY CAVERNS''' The Creepy Caverns used to be a warehouse filled with barrels of bananas, but now the dusty depository is haunted. Beware of the Ghost Barrels-hopping into one could blast you into a bunch of bananas-or a ton of trouble''"</ref><ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 103, pages 85, 89, and 91.</ref> (alternatively formatted as '''Ghost barrels'''),<ref>''Nintendo Official Magazine'' (UK) issue 54, page 50.</ref> is a ghostly type of [[Barrel]] that appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. Boo Barrels function identically to [[Blast Barrel]]s aside from the fact that they vanish and reappear every few seconds, similarly to the [[rope (ghost)|rope]]s of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest|Donkey Kong Country 2]]''. Each Boo Barrel faces in a set direction, which determines where [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] get blasted to. The direction they face upon appearing is usually randomized, and thus, the Kongs will often have to time their entry just right to progress. They are also sometimes hazardous obstacles, as they can blast the Kongs into enemies. Such Boo Barrels must be passed while invisible.
