Barrel

Line 44:

''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' introduces several types of barrels that the [[Kong]]s can use to attack enemies. Regular barrels appear frequently in many levels throughout the game and can be picked up and carried by pressing the {{button|snes|Y}} button on the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] controller while the playable character is in front of the barrel. Donkey Kong lifts the barrel above his head, while [[Diddy Kong]] carries it in front of his body. The barrel can then be tossed by releasing the {{button|snes|Y}} button, after which it rolls on the ground ahead until it hits a wall or goes off-camera. Barrels can also phase through enemies and defeat them, although touching an enemy with a barrel while carrying it will result in the barrel breaking as well as the enemy being taken out. In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', barrels can break if they collide with an enemy while rolling. Regular barrels are needed to destroy tough or well-protected enemies, including [[Zinger]]s and [[Krusha]]s, and are sometimes needed to take down bosses, such as [[Queen B.]], [[Kreepy Krow]] or [[King K. Rool#Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!|Baron K. Roolenstein]]. During boss battles, there are specific methods of acquiring barrels: they can either spawn repeatedly without the player's input, appear after defeating a living [[Mini-Necky]], or fall from the ceiling after the player pulls some pipes.

Some enemies also use barrels themselves. [[Manky Kong]]s toss them at the Kongs, similar to Donkey Kong in the original arcade game. When [[~~Rambi the Rhino|~~Rambi]] bumps into a barrel thrown by a Manky Kong, the barrel does not break, but instead simply falls off-screen.

Line 81:

During [[Lanky Kong]]'s round in the final boss fight against [[King K. Rool]], he must reach for one of the barrels, each depicting a small banana peel on its side, and throw it on the ground. Doing so reveals a large banana peel, which Lanky can trick K. Rool into running on by playing [[Trombone Tremor]] at the opposite side of K. Rool.

In the main menu of the game, Donkey Kong takes a barrel, lifts it above him, and waits for the player to select an option. Once the option has been selected, the ~~ape~~ throws the barrel and destroys it.
