J. ''Donkey Kong Country'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 6.</ref> are a type of [[barrel]] that appears only in [[Loopy Lights]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. As suggested by their name, On & Off Barrels act similarly to light switches. They are found either on the ground or in midair. By default, every On & Off Barrel has the white text "OFF" painted on it. If [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] touch an On & Off Barrel, all On & Off Barrels switch to "ON," lighting up the level for a few seconds, during which the [[Kong]]s can see the path and the enemies ahead. On & Off Barrels are similar to the [[Stop & Go Barrel]]s from [[Stop & Go Station]]. In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Color)|Game Boy Color version]], Loopy Lights is not as dark while the ON/OFF Barrels are turned off, and the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]] gives the level maroon tint while the On & Off Barrels are set to "OFF," making it even less dark.
-'''On and Off Barrels''' are a type of barrels found in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. They appear as floating barrels with either the word "ON" or "OFF" written on them.
-These barrels only appear in one [[level]], [[Loopy Lights]]. The barrel acts as a light switch, lighting up the area when set to "ON" and darkening the area when set to "OFF". Jumping at a barrel will make it switch between the two modes. With the lights off, enemies and the level become harder to see. [[Stop and Go Barrel]]s from the same game work similarly to On and Off Barrels. When turned on, the barrel lights up the area for a few seconds, and then turns itself off again.
+Though On & Off Barrels make no other appearances, the ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' iteration of [[Glimmer's Galleon (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Glimmer's Galleon]] features a similar type of barrel throughout, named [[Light Barrel]]s, which temporarily brighten up the level.

-Numerous barrels that function just like On and Off Barrels from ''Donkey Kong Country'' appear in [[Glimmer's Galleon (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Glimmer's Galleon]], a pitch-dark underwater stage from ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. However, instead of the words "ON" or "OFF", they display a small light bulb icon. Once touched, the barrels will light up the area temporarily.
