Burlap Hanging Sack

Burlap Hanging Sacks, also simply called bags , are objects appearing in several Donkey Kong games. As their name suggests, they are large cloth bags hung with a rope from an unseen ceiling.

In Donkey Kong Country Returns and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, each Burlap Hanging Sack is patterned with bull's-eyes and contains a valuable collectable, such as Puzzle Pieces. To unveil what is inside the sack, the Kongs have to break it by tossing a projectile, such as a barrel, into the hanging object. Exceptionally, a Burlap Hanging Sack found in Stormy Shore triggers the appearance of a treasure chest upon getting destroyed, though it does not contain anything.

The appearance of Burlap Hanging Sacks has been slightly renewed in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, displaying Snowmad insignias instead of bull's-eyes. However, they fulfill the same role as in the previous games.
