TNT Barrel
TNT Barrels are barrels found in the Donkey Kong series Like normal barrels, TNT Barrels can be picked up and thrown as a weapon, however a TNT Barrel will explode upon contact with an enemy, the floor, or a wall. The fiery explosion of a TNT Barrel will defeat just about any enemy caught in the blast radius. TNT Barrels are often used to reveal hidden bonus rooms in many levels, or to defeat enemies that cannot be defeated with a jump attack (like Zingers). They normally look like a regular barrel with a fuse and the words TNT painted on the front in white. However, in Donkey Kong 64, they were considerably smaller and red.
Some enemies have been known to hide in TNT Barrels and act as suicide bombers, sacrificing themselves in an attempt to destroy the Kongs. These include the Kremlings Kaboom from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, and TNT Knocka and Klasp found in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble. Other Kremlings, such as Bazuka, could shoot TNT Barrels out of their cannons at the Kongs in an attempt to destroy them.
TNT Barrels also appeared in DK: Jungle Climber. They can be used to destroy dense objects around them and will explode if attacked.
