Stop & Go Barrels,[1] also named GO barrels,[2] are barrels depicting either "Stop" or "Go" in red or green text, respectively, in Donkey Kong Country. They appear only in Stop & Go Station, where the lighting corresponds to the Stop & Go Barrels' current setting (red for "Stop" and green for "Go"). Most of the paths are occupied by the invulnerable Rock Krocs, but the Stop & Go Barrels throughout the level can manipulate their movements. By default, each Stop & Go Barrel is set to "Go," permitting the Rock Krocs to move around. If Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong jump at a Stop & Go Barrel, it and the other barrels of its type temporarily read "Stop," causing the Rock Krocs to curl into a ball and cease movement. This allows the Kongs to safely pass the Rock Krocs. After a while, the Stop & Go Barrels revert to "Go," and the Rock Krocs resume movement. The duration in which the barrels are set to "Stop" is based on the distance from that Stop & Go Barrel to the next one.

The level Loopy Lights features its own series of barrels with a similar functionality, On & Off Barrels, which temporarily turn on the lights throughout the stage.
