The '''Barrel Cannon''' (also known as a '''Barrel Kannon''' or '''Blast Barrel''') is an item found in the Donkey Kong series. They appear in all three ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' games. They also can be found by [[Donkey Kong]] in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. In these games, a [[Kong]] would go into the barrel, and it would do one of two things: it would either automatically blast the Kong to where it needed to go, or it would spin around and the Kong would have to press a button at the right time to blast to their destination. They appear in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'', along with new varieties of red and gold. In ''[[DK Jungle Climber]]'', they will be easier to aim.

In ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', a new type of Barrel Cannon appeared, where the cannon wouldn't blast until the player would direct it using the arrows of the key pad, and then press the A button to blast it.


In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', it appeared in the [[Kongo Jungle]] stage, where it would move back and forth underneath the stage, sometimes rotating as it did so. If a player fell into the cannon, they could press the A button to fire themselves out of the cannon in the direction of the arrow. If they waited too long, they would be shot out anyway. Since the cannon sometimes rotates, this action can sometimes save a player from falling, or it can launch them to their doom. Only one character may occupy the Barrel Cannon at any time.
