Template:Item-infobox A Boo Barrel,[1] also named Ghost Barrel[2][3] (alternatively formatted as Ghost barrels),[4] is a ghostly type of Barrel that appears in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and Donkey Kong Land III.
Boo Barrels act the same as Blast Barrels except that they vanish and reappear every few seconds, like the ropes of Donkey Kong Country 2. Each Boo Barrel faces in a set direction, which determines where Dixie and Kiddy get blasted to. The direction they face upon appearing is usually randomized, and thus, the Kongs will often have to time their entry just right to progress. They are also sometimes hazardous obstacles, as they can blast the Kongs into enemies. Such Boo Barrels must be passed while invisible.
In Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, the Boo Barrels only appear in the Kaos Kore level, Creepy Caverns. They appear a little more often in Donkey Kong Land III, in three levels: Stalagmite Frights, Haunted Hollows, and Ghoulish Grotto.
