A TNT Barrel appears for the first time in the opening scene of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. [[Cranky Kong]] uses it to wreck Donkey Kong's boom box, as retaliation for [[Donkey Kong]] knocking him out of the trees and ruining his phonograph. During gameplay, TNT Barrels can be lifted, then tossed on the ground or a wall to explode, defeating any enemy standing in its explosion range. They can also be utilized this way in the sequels, as well as in the ''[[Donkey Kong Land (series)|Donkey Kong Land]]'' games, though in the latter, their explosion range appears to be much shorter. However, only in ''Donkey Kong Country'', if a Kong picks up a TNT Barrel and puts it down, it will self-destruct shortly after. | A TNT Barrel appears for the first time in the opening scene of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''.

The Kongs will not get hurt if they rapidly head into the blast of a TNT Barrel after it was thrown. On the other hand, if the barrel is lifted and put back down, then blows up on its own as mentioned earlier, it can harm the Kongs. | |||
Some Kremling enemies have been known to hide in TNT Barrels and act as suicide bombers, sacrificing themselves in an attempt to destroy the Kongs. These include [[Kaboom]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', as well as [[Kracka]]s and [[Klasp]]s found in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. Other Kremlings, namely [[Kannon]]s and [[Bazuka]], may shoot TNT Barrels out of their cannons, and the Kongs would have to avoid them. | Some Kremling enemies have been known to hide in TNT Barrels and act as suicide bombers, sacrificing themselves in an attempt to destroy the Kongs.
