The first four levels of the [[Game Boy]] version of ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'' are an almost exact imitation of the classic arcade game, which means that barrels appear once again in the 25m stage. When Mario jumps over one, he is awarded 100 points, just like in the original game. Nevertheless, the player only earns 300 points upon destroying a barrel with a hammer, unlike in the arcade ''Donkey Kong''. Later in the game, Donkey Kong still uses barrels as attacks occasionally. When a rolling barrel encounters an edge and falls down to the platform underneath, Mario needs to perform a [[handstand]] right under the falling barrel and stop it with his feet. The barrel then lands upright, and it can be picked up so Mario can throw the barrel back at Donkey Kong in order to damage him. | The first four levels of the [[Game Boy]] version of ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'' are an almost exact imitation of the classic arcade game, which means that barrels appear once again in the 25m stage.

They are functionally similar to [[ | Small, keg-like barrels are objects that [[Wario]] can carry in ''[[Wario Land 3]]''. They are functionally similar to [[Ice Block|ice block]]s from ''Wario Land II'' in that they can be picked up and hurled at enemies or blocks to destroy them. Barrels break instantly when they are thrown to the ground or if attacked with a [[Ground Pound|Smash Attack]] or a shoulder charge. However, they respawn in their default location after Wario goes off-screen from where a barrel initially appears and returns to that position after that. In addition, barrels can be stood on, serving as platforms. Barrels appear in [[Desert Ruins]], [[The Volcano's Base]], [[The West Crater]], [[The Grasslands]], [[The Big Bridge]], [[The Warped Void]], and [[The East Crater]]. | ||

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. | 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]]''.

There is also a variant that only appears in the final battle (and, in the [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|remake]], 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. | ||

In many ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' games, mostly in the ones from the [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'' franchise]], a handful of barrel variations, derived from the classic barrel, appear. Each fulfills a unique function that may or may not help the heroes. In the ''Donkey Kong Country'' series, [[DK Barrel]]s, [[Blast Barrel]]s, and [[Barrel Cannon]]s are encountered more often than regular barrels. The table below lists all types of barrels in the ''Super Mario'' franchise and related franchises. | In many ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' games, mostly in the ones from the [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'' franchise]], a handful of barrel variations, derived from the classic barrel, appear.
