There are several types of [[barrel]]s that the Kongs encounter during their adventure. They have varing effects, although most of them are helpful. The standard, wooden barrels from previous ''Donkey Kong Country'' games also appear in this game, and have the same purpose - the Kongs can grab them and throw them at other enemies to defeat them. Once thrown, the barrel rolls in the direction it was thrown and breaks when it hits something. There are also various types of different barrels:

|[[File:Barrel render.jpg|80px]]<br>[[Barrel]]
|align=left|Cranky's Kong Barrels are wooden barrels with the Kongs' emblems on them. These barrels are used to activate the Kongs' special abilities, learned when they consume Cranky's magic potions. For example, once Donkey Kong enters one of Cranky's Kong Barrel with his face on it, he becomes able to use his special ability, Strong Kong, for a limited amount of time. The special abilities, however, use up the Kongs' Crystal Coconuts.
|align=left|Regular barrels return from the previous ''Donkey Kong Country'' titles, though they are very uncommon in ''Donkey Kong 64''. The Kongs can pick up barrels and throw them to defeat enemies. Once thrown, the barrel continues rolling in the same direction until it hits into something, causing it to break.

|align=left|Bonus Barrels can be identified from a picture of a Golden Banana on them. When a Kong enters a Bonus Barrel, they are taken to a [[Bonus Stage]] where they must complete a certain task. After completing it, the Kong exits the Bonus Barrel with a Golden Banana reward. In Hideout Helm, the Bonus Barrels appear as a keg, and their Bonus Stages must be completed to deactivate the Blast-o-Matic.

|align=left|Cranky's Kong Barrels are wooden barrels that depict one of the five Kongs' face on them. These barrels are used to activate the Kongs' special abilities, learned when they consume Cranky's magic potions.

|align=left|Steel Kegs are heavy, metallic barrels that only appear in a wooden barn of [[Fungi Forest]]. Due to their weight, Steel Kegs can only be lifted by Chunky Kong. Chunky must put three Steel Kegs on a conveyor belt at a nearby grinder to obtain a Golden Banana.

|align=left|Tag Barrels are used to switch to a different Kong when exploring a world. They have the appearance of a spinning wooden barrel with each of the Kongs' faces on them. Once a Kong enters the Tag Barrel, the player can select their Kong in a circular character select screen. There are only a few Tag Barrels in each world, although the Donkey Kong Island has ten (eight in each level lobby, one in the main area, and one near Snide's H.Q.).

|align=left|Bonus Barrels are wooden barrels with a picture of a Golden Banana on them. These barrels appear in every world of the game, and they are quite common. When a Kong enters a Bonus Barrel, they are taken to a special [[minigame]] where they must complete a certain task. Once this challenge is completed, the Kong receives a special Golden Banana. In Hideout Helm, they have a metallic appearance, and take the Kongs to special minigames that must be completed to disable the Blast-o-Matic. For a list of Bonus Minigames, see [[Bonus Area#Donkey Kong 64|here]].

|align=left|TNT Barrels are highly explosive barrels that can potentially be used as powerful weapons throughout the game. They often appear in boss battles, usually in the center of the arena, where they must be used to attack the boss. TNT Barrels act like standard barrels when thrown - they roll in a direction until they hit something, with the difference that they cause a fiery explosion when they touch anything. Some enemies known as [[Kaboom]]s reside inside TNT Barrels.
|align=left|TNT Barrels are explosive barrels that appear during [[Army Dillo]]'s and [[Dogadon]]'s boss fight, and they must be used to attack the boss. When thrown, TNT Barrels act like normal barrels by continuing to roll in a direction until they hit something. A difference with TNT Barrels is how a fiery explosion is generated when it collides into something. There are enemies known as [[Kaboom]]s who hide in TNT Barrels.

|align=left|Steel Kegs are heavy, metallic barrels that are rather uncommon, only appearing inside one of the wooden barns in Fungi Forest. These barrels are so heavy that only Chunky Kong can lift them. Chunky must destroy three Steel Kegs in this barn by putting them on a conveyor belt at a nearby grinder, in order to obtain a Golden Banana. For some reason, Steel Kegs explode when they hit the grinder.
