Barrel: Difference between revisions

===''Mario'' series===

''[[Super Mario Bros. Special]]'' marks the second time barrels are used in the ''Mario'' series. In this game, barrels are not called as such, but rather credited as '''Tarusar'''. They are introduced in World 3-4 and continue to appear occasionally throughout the game. These obstacles did not change since their latter and first appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong]]''; they just roll continously towards the hero, either on castle stairs or on steep mushroomy platforms. Here, barrels apparently spawn and plummet from high areas, and their source is nowhere to be seen. [[Mario]]'s simple stomps couldn't destroy the wooden hazards, although happily, the game features the overpowered [[hammer]], whose metallic and brutal head stands against anything, not to except barrels. Smashing barrels in this game is a good opportunity for some [[player]]s to recall how they would smash barrels thrown by [[Cranky Kong|a gorilla]] in the older days.
