The '''Biplane Barrel'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet, [[Media:DKC2 Manual 18-19.jpg|page 18]].</ref> is a special biplane-shaped [[Barrel]] that is owned by [[Funky Kong]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. It serves as the replacement for the original [[Jumbo Barrel]] from the first ''[[Donkey Kong Country]].
The '''Biplane Barrel'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet, [[Media:DKC2 Manual 18-19.jpg|page 18]].</ref> is a special biplane-shaped [[Barrel]] that is owned by [[Funky Kong]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. It serves as the replacement for the original [[Jumbo Barrel]] from the first ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] [[remake|port]] of ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', the Biplane Barrel was replaced with the [[Gyrocopter]].


If [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] or [[Dixie Kong]] pay a visit to one of the [[Funky's Flights II]] on [[Crocodile Isle]], Funky will let them ride around to another area of Crocodile Isle, provided that they've already been there, as the only other method of returning to the main Crocodile Isle map is by defeating a boss. This is done as a means to prevent level-skipping, but serves as a safe alternative to having to fight a boss.
In ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]'', Funky owns a plane that largely resembles the Biplane Barrel. [[Donkey Kong]] and Diddy use it travel to each world's smaller island, provided they have enough [[Oil Barrel]]s.


While usage of the Biplane Barrel will cost two [[Banana Coin]]s for the first ride from every Funky's Flights II location on Crocodile Isle, all consecutive uses from any location will be free.
== Description ==
If [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] or [[Dixie Kong]] visit [[Funky's Flights II]], Funky allows them to use the Biplane Barrel to travel to another world via the [[Crocodile Isle]] map, as long as they have already visited it. The only exception is the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Lost World]], which can only be accessed through [[Klubba's Kiosk]]. At first, for each world, usage of the Biplane Barrel costs two [[Banana Coin|Banana Bunch Coin]]s, but all consecutive uses within that world is free.


The Biplane Barrel does not appear in the [[Game Boy Advance]] [[remake]] of the game. Instead, it is replaced by the [[Gyrocopter]].
Like the Jumbo Barrel, the Biplane Barrel is capable of moving the Kongs between locations on the world map faster than when they are on foot. The Funky's Flights II theme continues to play on the world map while the Kongs are using the Biplane Barrel. The only other way of returning to the Crocodile Isle map is by defeating a boss, which is a less safe alternative.


In ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]'', the plane that is used to travel to the game's various islands largely resembles the Biplane Barrel in appearance. This plane needs to be fueled with [[Oil Barrel]]s in order to be used.
In the Game Boy Advance port, unlike the Biplane Barrel, the Kongs no longer visit Funky's Flights II to use the Gyrocopter. This is because after completing [[Aerial Loop]], the player can select the Gyrocopter from the world map menu whenever they decide to.
