Barrel

Barrels are one of the two weapons that Donkey Kong used against Mario in Donkey Kong arcade game. Mario could jump over them or smash them with his hammer. Since then, barrels have appeared in many other Donkey Kong and Mario games. In the Donkey Kong series, many barrels can be picked up and used to attack Kremlings and other enemies.

Barrels also appear as items in Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee, where they contain four items and can roll along inclines. They also sometimes explode on contact. It will return in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, alongside the Crate. This time around, it will change appearance depending on the stage. Example, it will turn into a Present Barrel on the Yoshi's Island stage, however the effect of the Barrel will not change.

Trophy Information
''Like Crates, Barrels are often filled with items and occasionally explosive. Thrown Barrels may break on contact or go rolling along the ground to smash into characters. Like the Crate, the Barrel is heavy, so it will restrict the speed at which the character carrying it can move. This speed differs between characters.''
