Krockhead Barrel

Krockhead Barrels, also formatted as Krockhead barrels, are types of barrel most commonly appearing in Krem Quay levels in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. They also appear in Donkey Kong Land 2, where they are most often featured in Krem Cauldron stages.

Krockhead Barrels are usually found hovering in the air. If Diddy or Dixie Kong touch the barrel, it summons several Krockheads, which the Kongs can use to cross large gaps. The Krockheads summoned by a Krockhead Barrel only surface above the water temporarily, meaning that the Kongs need to hop on them quickly, before they vanish back in the water.
