Stop & Go Barrel

Stop and Go Barrels are two types of barrels that appear in the Super Nintendo Entertainment System game, Donkey Kong Country. They appear as dark barrels with either the word "Stop" or "Go" on them.

The two barrels only appear in the level, Stop & Go Station. During this level, there are many Rockkroc enemies dashing across the areas, and they can easily hurt the Kongs. Numerous Go Barrels are placed throughout this stage, and of the barrel is hit, it turns into a Stop Barrel for a short period of time. While it is a Stop Barrel, all the Rockkrocs in the area cease to move and curl up into a ball. Therefore, the Stop and Go Barrels can prove useful in this level, as they allow the apes to head past the Rockkrocs without taking damage.

Noticeably, when these barrels are set of the "Go" setting, the lights illuminating the level turn green. When they are put on "Stop," the light turn red.
