An '''Animal Barrel'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet, [[Media:DKC2 Manual 18-19.jpg|page 18]].</ref>, also known as a '''Goodie Barrel'''<ref>M. Arakawa. ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble'' Player's Guide. Page 15.</ref>, is a [[barrel]] with a picture of an [[Animal Friend]] painted on the side. Unlike [[Animal Crate]]s, which contain an Animal Friend, Animal Barrels transform the [[Kong]]s into its depicted Animal Friend. These barrels first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest|Donkey Kong Country 2]]'' and return in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!|Donkey Kong Country 3]]''. They also appear in their handheld counterparts, ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III|III]]''.

Unlike [[Animal Crate]]s, which contain an Animal Friend, Animal Barrels transform the [[Kong]]s into its depicted Animal Friend.

If two Kongs enter an Animal Barrel, the resulting Animal Friend has two [[Hit Point]]s, represented by an icon of it at the bottom-left of the screen, or bottom-right in the ''[[Donkey Kong Land (series)|Donkey Kong Land]]'' titles. The Animal Friend loses a Hit Point if injured, and its icon disappears. The Animal Friend loses a life if it loses its second and last Hit Point. It can touch a [[DK Barrel]] for another Hit Point, which represents the missing Kong. The Animal Friend transforms back into the Kongs if it crosses the [[No Animal Sign]]. [[Clapper]] and [[Parry]] are the only two Animal Friends in the aforementioned games to not have their own Animal Barrel.


If two Kongs enter an Animal Barrel, the resulting Animal Friend has two [[Hit Point]]s, with an icon of that Animal Friend the bottom-left of the screen, or bottom-right in the ''[[Donkey Kong Land (series)|Donkey Kong Land]]'' titles. This icon indicates the second Hit Point. The Animal Friend loses a Hit Point if injured, and its icon disappears. The Animal Friend loses a life if it loses its second and last Hit Point. It can touch a [[DK Barrel]] for another Hit Point, which represents the missing Kong. The Animal Friend transforms back into the Kongs if it crosses the [[No Animal Sign]].
While Animal Barrels do not appear in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' or [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Color)|the Game Boy Color remake of ''Donkey Kong Country'']], the Animal Crates behave like them as they transform a Kong into the depicted Animal Friend.
 
[[Clapper the Seal|Clapper]] and [[Parry the Parallel Bird|Parry]] are the only two Animal Friends in the featured games who do not have their own Animal Barrel. In ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', Quawks' and Squawks' Animal Barrels look identical because of the [[Game Boy]]'s monochrome palette.
 
While Animal Barrels do not appear in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', the Animal Crates behave like them as they transform a Kong into an Animal Friend. This behavior was also recycled for the [[Game Boy Color]] remake of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''.

Animal Barrel
EnguardeBarrel DKC2.png
The Enguarde Barrel is a type of Animal Barrel.
First appearance Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest (1995)
Latest appearance Donkey Kong Country 3 (GBA) (2005)

An Animal Barrel,[1] also known as a Goodie Barrel,[2] is a barrel with a picture of an Animal Friend painted on the side. Unlike Animal Crates, which contain an Animal Friend, Animal Barrels transform the Kongs into its depicted Animal Friend. Animal Barrels appear in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, Donkey Kong Land 2, Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, and Donkey Kong Land III. If two Kongs enter an Animal Barrel, the resulting Animal Friend has two Hit Points, represented by an icon of it at the bottom-left of the screen, or bottom-right in the Donkey Kong Land titles. The Animal Friend loses a Hit Point if injured, and its icon disappears. The Animal Friend loses a life if it loses its second and last Hit Point. It can touch a DK Barrel for another Hit Point, which represents the missing Kong. The Animal Friend transforms back into the Kongs if it crosses the No Animal Sign. Clapper and Parry are the only two Animal Friends in the aforementioned games to not have their own Animal Barrel.

While Animal Barrels do not appear in Donkey Kong 64 or the Game Boy Color remake of Donkey Kong Country, the Animal Crates behave like them as they transform a Kong into the depicted Animal Friend.
