Barrel: Difference between revisions

Just like in the Game Boy remake of ''Donkey Kong'', barrels can be used by Mario to attack [[Donkey Kong]] in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]''. They are relatively common, and most of them can be found lying on the ground in [[Donkey Kong Jungle (world)|Donkey Kong Jungle]]. Once picked up, they can be carried by the player to any accessible place and either tossed at enemies, or put conveniently to serve as platforms for Mario to reach higher places. Likewise, they can be placed on [[Spike Trap|spikes]] and used to safely cross them. The only boss battles where Donkey Kong uses barrels against Mario are [[Level 3-DK]], [[Level 3-DK+]], and [[Donkey Kong Plus]], the final battle. Barrels thrown by Donkey Kong can be deflected with a [[handstand]] and then used as normal. In the [[Donkey Kong (level)|Donkey Kong boss level]], the three [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s bring a giant barrel that is used to knock Donkey Kong down a floor with each hit. There is also a variant that only appears in the final battle and in the [[Merry Mini-Land]] and [[Slippery Summit]] fights against Donkey Kong that has spikes covering it, hurting Mario on contact regardless of whether it was blocked with a handstand or not.
