A '''Bonus Barrel''',<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet, {{media link|DKC2 Manual 18-19.jpg|page 18}}.</ref> also formatted as '''Bonus barrel'''<ref>"There's at least two Bonus barrels secreted somewhere within each level, and you'll need to find and complete them all (thus earning a Bonus Coin) to see the game's full ending.''" - ''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) issue 51, page 15.</ref> or '''bonus barrel''',<ref>"''The bonus barrel in this level is actually invisible, but it's located directly above the Star barrel.''" - ''Nintendo Magazine System'' (Australia) issue 47, page 47.</ref> is a recurring [[barrel]] that takes the [[Kong]]s to a [[Bonus Level]]. It first appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' as a replacement for the [[Blast Barrel]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' that carry the Kongs up into a Bonus Level. Bonus Barrels have since appeared in many ''[[Donkey Kong (franchise)|Donkey Kong]]'' titles. In most of their appearances, Bonus Barrels are identifiable from their large B symbol in the center, on a yellow explosion with a red border, and a white-rimmed opening on top.
