'''Plus and Minus Barrels'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet, [[Media:DKC2 Manual 18-19.jpg|page 18]].</ref> ( | '''Plus and Minus Barrels'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet, [[Media:DKC2 Manual 18-19.jpg|page 18]].</ref> (shortened '''+ and - Barrels''' in an issue of ''[[Nintendo Power]]''<ref>Nintendo Power Volume 79, [[Media:Nintendo Power79 17.jpg|page 17]].</ref>) are types of [[barrel]]s that only appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' during the level, [[Haunted Hall]]. A Plus Barrel has a green plus sign on it while a Minus Barrel has a red minus sign on it. They are similar to [[Stop & Go Barrel]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' mainly because they are both used to temporarily prevent an invincible enemy from attacking the Kongs. | ||
Throughout the level, there are Plus and Minus Barrels appearing in mid-air and on the track rails. [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] must hit into the Plus Barrels to increment the on-screen timer, but must avoid Minus Barrels which do the opposite, decrease the on-screen timer. If the timer reaches zero, the Kackle attacks the Kongs. Minus Barrels are more frequent in later ports of the level. | Throughout the level, there are Plus and Minus Barrels appearing in mid-air and on the track rails.

In an earlier level, [[Rickety Race (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Rickety Race]], a Plus Barrel appears at the start, hidden beneath a wooden platform. This Plus Barrel has a different functionality; when the Kongs jump into the first [[Skull Cart]], it rides backward into the Plus Barrel, which speeds up the Skull Cart to ride on the remaining track segment. Similarly, another Plus Barrel also appears in Haunted Hall's first [[Bonus Area]], and it causes the Skull Cart to travel backwards at a high speed. | In an earlier level, [[Rickety Race (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Rickety Race]], a Plus Barrel appears at the start, hidden beneath a wooden platform.
