The Rocket Barrel reappears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' where it is entirely redesigned with red-colored hoops and fins, and it no longer runs on Fuel Barrels. Initially, the Rocket Barrel takes the shape of a [[Barrel Cannon]], waiting in place for the Kongs to drop inside it. The player has to repeatedly press the {{button|wii|A}} button to power it up, after which it launches and brings the Kongs outward, gaining a rocket-like pointy top. | The Rocket Barrel reappears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' where it is entirely redesigned with red-colored hoops and fins, and it no longer runs on Fuel Barrels.

In side-scrolling levels, the player can hold the {{button|wii|A}} button to rise up, and let go of {{button|wii|A}} to let the Rocket Barrel descend. Doing so is necessary to avoid obstacles and collect items. If the Kongs crash into something, the Rocket Barrel explodes, and the Kongs will instantly lose a life. | In side-scrolling levels, the player can hold the {{button|wii|A}} button to rise up, and let go of {{button|wii|A}} to let the Rocket Barrel descend.

In [[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D|the 3DS remake]], the Rocket Barrel can take an extra hit if Donkey Kong purchases and equips a [[Crash Guard]] from [[Cranky Kong's Shop]], though this extra hit will not respawn if he dies. | ||
