'''Snow Barrel Blast''' is the seventeenth level of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', and the first level of [[Gorilla Glacier]]. It takes place on a snowcapped mountain peak, where the [[Kong]]s must trudge on icy ground, go up and down steep slopes, and cross large abysses by blasting between [[Barrel Cannon]]s. This stage features transitional weather: the snow slowly becomes heavier as [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] go through the first half of the stage: Snow Barrel Blast starts with a clear, blue sky, then light snow, then the skies become gray, the snow becomes heavier, until finally becoming a blizzard by the [[Star Barrel|Continue Barrel]]. [[Necky]]s and [[Zinger]]s are the main enemies of the level, appearing especially during the barrel-blasting segments. One of the Barrel Cannons leads through a trail of hidden [[Blast Barrel]]s to the last portion with the [[exit]], so most of the barrel blasting can be skipped.

[[File:SnowBarrelBlast.png|thumb|The location of the letter K]]

*'''K:''' Located just before the third Barrel Cannon

*'''O:''' The letter O is at the top-center of the second Bonus Area. The Kongs can blast to it from using a Barrel Cannon.

*'''N:''' After the Continue Barrel, the Kongs must pass a group of Neckys. The letter N is located directly above the third Bonus Area, and can only be obtained by directly blasting from a Barrel Cannon.

*'''G:''' There are two letter G's, based on the path the Kongs choose. The first one is automatically obtained while blasting through the shortcut chain of Blast Barrels, while the second one is near the end of the final barrel blasting segment.

*'''''Stop the Barrel!''''': At the very start of the level, the Kongs must jump onto the entry igloo and wait for a flying [[Necky]] to come close to them. Once it gets close, the Kongs must bounce on the Necky and head left into the Bonus Barrel. The objective is the same as most other challenges of its type: the Kongs must observe a [[Winky]] [[animal token|Token]] as it moves through four barrels before suddenly in one and vanishing. The Kongs must jump at the correct barrel that the Winky Token stopped in to be rewarded with it.

*'''''Collect the Prizes!''''': When Donkey Kong and Diddy reach the Continue Barrel, they must go left and jump into a nearby pit, just before the level's [[Krusha]]. The location of the Bonus Barrel is indicated from a trail of three [[Banana]]s. In this Bonus Area, the Kongs can collect a variety of Bananas and the letter O by blasting out of a rapidly-spinning Barrel Cannon. The Kongs can exit the challenge by falling down the pit from missing the Barrel Cannon.  

*'''''Find the Exit!''''': In a barrel, just before the letter N and after a group of Neckys after the Continue Barrel, the Kongs must blast down onto a hidden ice platform. They must jump into the Bonus Barrel located on the third platform. In this Bonus Area, the Kongs can blast between a straight alignment of spinning Barrel Cannons and collect Bananas along the way. They can exit the level at the other side, or by falling down the pit.
