As suggested by their name, ON/OFF Barrels act similar to light switches. They are either found on the ground or in mid-air. By default, every ON/OFF Barrel has the white text 'OFF' painted on them. If [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] touch an ON/OFF Barrel, all of them change to 'ON'. This causes the level to illuminate for a few seconds, allowing the [[Kong]]s to see the path and the enemies ahead. ON/OFF Barrels are similar to the [[Stop & Go Barrel]]s from [[Stop & Go Station]].

In the [[Game Boy Color]] remake, Loopy Lights is not as dark while the ON/OFF Barrels are turned off. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, the level has a maroon tint while they are off, making it even less dark.
