Readded the statement that Steerable Barrels don't appear in Donkey Kong Land 2. It feels noteworthy enough to include since the levels in Country 2 and Land 2 share the same names.

They can be distinguished from the control pad depicted on them. Steerable Barrels appear only in [[Fiery Furnace (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Fiery Furnace]], where they have a crucial role of carrying [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] across the enormous [[lava]] gaps. While the [[Kong]]s are inside a Steerable Barrel, they can move it freely in any direction. However, unlike with [[Spinner Barrel|Rotatable Barrel]]s, a Steerable Barrel cannot be aimed and rotated, because it always faces a single direction. Most Steerable Barrels have a timer when entered, ranging between one to five seconds, and when the timer reaches zero, the Steerable Barrel blasts the Kongs out automatically and returns to its original location.
-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 because it always faces upward. Each Steerable Barrel has a timer when entered, and it varies from 1–5 seconds. When the timer reaches zero, the Kongs are automatically blasted out of the Steerable Barrel, which also vanishes. This means Diddy and Dixie must quickly blast into the next Steerable Barrel or fall onto 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.
