In most games, a TNT Barrel looks similar to a regular barrel, though it can be identified from its fuse and the abbreviation "{{wp|TNT}}" painted in white on the front. A TNT Barrel can be picked up and thrown by the [[Kong]]s, like most other barrels, and it explodes upon contact with an enemy, the ground, or a wall. The fiery explosion of a TNT Barrel defeats every enemy caught within the blast radius. TNT Barrels can defeat most enemies, including [[Zinger]]s, which cannot be defeated by any of the Kongs' physical attacks. | ||

A TNT Drum appears for the first time in the opening scene of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. [[Cranky Kong]] uses it to wreck Donkey Kong's boom box, as retaliation for [[Donkey Kong]] knocking him out of the trees and ruining his phonograph. During gameplay, TNT Drums can be lifted, then tossed on the ground or a wall to explode, defeating any enemy standing in its explosion range. They can also be utilized this way in the sequels, as well as in the ''[[Donkey Kong Land (series)|Donkey Kong Land]]'' games. In both the ''Donkey Kong Land'' series and [[Game Boy Color]] version of ''Donkey Kong Country'', TNT Barrels have a smaller blast radius. | A TNT Drum appears for the first time in the opening scene of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''.

In both the ''Donkey Kong Land'' series and [[Game Boy Color]] version of ''Donkey Kong Country'', TNT Barrels have a smaller blast radius. The Kongs do not get injured by running through a TNT Barrel's blast after they throw it. Contrarily, in ''Donkey Kong Country'', if the Kongs lift a TNT Drum and then put it down, it shakes and then immediately explodes, causing the player to lose a Kong. | ||

Some Kremling enemies hide in TNT Barrels and act as suicide bombers, sacrificing themselves in an attempt to destroy the Kongs. These include [[Kaboom]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', as well as [[Kracka]]s and [[Klasp]]s found in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. Other Kremlings, namely [[Bazuka]]s, may shoot TNT Barrels out of their cannons, and the Kongs would have to avoid them. | Some Kremling enemies hide in TNT Barrels and act as suicide bombers, sacrificing themselves in an attempt to destroy the Kongs.

In ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Rumble in the Jungle]]'', miniature TNT Barrels (stylized as '''mini-TNT Barrels''') are used by [[Donkey Kong]] on several occasions throughout the novel. Before the [[Kong]]s leave their [[DK's Tree House|treehouse]] to travel to [[Big Ape City]], Donkey Kong takes a backpack full of miniature barrels, including some that "could even explode". TNT Barrels are first used while the Kongs are battling some [[Kremling]]s and their barrel cannons in [[Tree Top Town]]. Donkey Kong launches several TNT Barrels by slinging back a tree branch, allowing the barrels to reach high above in the tree tops. Donkey Kong later uses one to break open [[Funky Kong]]'s prison door within the Kremling's factory in Big Ape City, although the sound of the explosion attracts [[Kritter]] and a group of Kremlings. | In ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Rumble in the Jungle]]'', miniature TNT Barrels (stylized as '''mini-TNT Barrels''') are used by [[Donkey Kong]] on several occasions throughout the novel.

An illustration shows that the TNT Barrels resembles their artwork for ''Donkey Kong Country'', although lacking a fuse at the top. And despite the novel claiming to describe "miniature" TNT Barrels, their illustrated size in proportion to the prison door appears to be closer to a regular-sized [[barrel]]. | An illustration shows that the TNT Barrels resembles their artwork for ''Donkey Kong Country'', although lacking a fuse at the top.
