Steerable Barrel: Difference between revisions

'''Steerable Barrels'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet, [[Media:DKC2 Manual 18-19.jpg|page 18]].</ref> (also referred to as '''Steer Barrels''' in an issue of ''[[Nintendo Power]]''<ref>Nintendo Power Vol. 79, [[Media:Nintendo Power79 17.jpg|page 17]]</ref>) is a type of [[Barrel Cannon]] that only appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. They only appear in [[Fiery Furnace (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Fiery Furnace]], where they have a crucial role of carrying [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] across the enormous lava gaps. Steerable Barrels are recognizable from a control pad depicted on on them.

When Diddy and Dixie enter the Steerable Barrel, they are able to move it around in any direction freely. However, unlike [[Rotatable Barrel]]s, the [[Kong]]s cannot rotate and aim the barrel itself because of it always facing upward. After a few seconds, the Kongs are automatically blasted out of a Steerable Barrel, which also vanishes. This means Diddy and Dixie must quickly blast into the next Steerable Barrel or the nearest land.

 

Steerable Barrels do not appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', even in its own [[Fiery Furnace (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Fiery Furnace]] level.
