Blast Barrels first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. When a character jumps into a Blast Barrel, it automatically launches them in a predetermined direction. The Blast Barrel can launch the [[Kong]]s at great distances and often allows them to reach a location that cannot be reached by other means. The Kongs cannot control when or in what direction they are fired, as the launch is purely automatic. In ''Donkey Kong Country'', Blast Barrels are also used to send the Kongs to [[bonus room]]s or near the end of the level; the [[Game Boy Advance]] version and sequels replace them with [[Bonus Barrel]]s and [[Warp Barrel]]s, respectively, although Blast Barrels with the former's functionality are reused as of ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''. | Blast Barrels first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''.

Blast Barrels lack the explosion symbol in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. The steel rims on their entrances are also colored white in those games as well as ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', all Barrel Cannons look like Blast Barrels, even though only a few function like them. | Blast Barrels lack the explosion symbol in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''.

Blast Barrels return in ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'', ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', and its Nintendo Switch [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port]], looking and acting the same as in the original version of ''Donkey Kong Country''. These games also contain Blast Barrels with skull heads displayed on them, which instantly self-destruct after they launch the characters. | Blast Barrels return in ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'', ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', and its Nintendo Switch [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port]], looking and acting the same as in the original version of ''Donkey Kong Country''.
