The Barrel Roll is Donkey Kong's signature move in the Donkey Kong Country series and Donkey Kong Land series.

First introduce in Donkey Kong Country, Donkey Kong can perform this move by curling into a ball and ramming almost any enemies. If used on a row of enemies, the attack may scatter the entire row. Also, when close to a ledge, this move can be use to cross over gaps. The move is later uses in the game's pseudo-sequel Donkey Kong Land.

In Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, the move is passed to Kiddy Kong and utilize the same as Donkey Kong's from the first game. When performing this move near a edge with water, Kiddy can hop across ponds by pressing Y Button on the water, he can also to reach heights that are inaccessible. Also, a technique method is when Dixie pick up Kiddy and throws him against a wall, the Kong will roll back, if Dixie were to get on Kiddy, they can eliminate most enemies. The move is also later uses in the game's pseudo-sequel Donkey Kong Land III.

In Donkey Kong 64, the move returns as one of Donkey Kong's basic moves in the game.

The barrel roll returns as Donkey Kong's signature move in Donkey Kong Country Returns. It can be utilize when shaking Wii Remote while moving left or right.
