'''TNT Barrels''' (also called '''TNT Drums'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country'' Nintendo Player's Guide, [[Media:DKC Guide 20-21.jpg|page 20]].</ref>) are [[barrel]]s found in the [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'' franchise]]. Like normal barrels, TNT Barrels can be picked up and thrown as a weapon, but will explode upon contact with an [[enemies|enemy]], the floor, or a wall. The fiery explosion of a TNT Barrel will defeat every enemy caught in the blast radius. TNT Barrels help defeat tough enemies, such as [[Zinger]]s, which cannot be directly attacked, and can also reveal hidden bonus rooms in many levels.

In most games, a TNT Barrel looks like a regular barrel with a fuse and the abbreviation "{{wp|TNT}}" painted in white on the front. However, in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', they are considerably smaller and red-colored.

A TNT Barrel appears for the first time in the opening scene of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. [[Cranky Kong]] uses it to wreck Donkey Kong's boom box, as retaliation for [[Donkey Kong]] knocking him out of the trees and ruining his phonograph. During gameplay, TNT Barrels can be lifted, then tossed on the ground or a wall to explode, defeating any enemy standing in its explosion range. They can also be utilized this way in the sequels, as well as in the ''[[Donkey Kong Land (series)|Donkey Kong Land]]'' games, though in the latter, their explosion range appears to be smaller. However, only in ''Donkey Kong Country'', if a Kong picks up a TNT Barrel and puts it down, it will start to shake and self-destruct shortly after.

The Kongs will not get hurt if they rapidly head into the blast of a TNT Barrel after it was thrown. On the other hand, if the barrel is lifted and put back down, then blows up on its own as mentioned earlier, it can harm the Kongs.

In several places of the course [[DK Jungle (golf course)|DK Jungle]] course from ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'', TNT Barrels lie on the ground. They explode when a golf ball bumps into them, sending the ball high up to the sky. TNT Barrels are found near Hole 3, Hole 4 and Hole 9.
