-The '''Tracker Barrel''' is a type of [[Barrel]] that appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''.  This special barrel allows the members of the [[Kong Family]] to cross large horizontal gaps.  When jumped into, the Tracker Barrel will shoot the [[Kong]]s straight up in the air, then follow the heroes left or right during their descent.  As such, the Kongs will simply fall back into the barrel, and then be shot back up in the air again.  This process will continue until the heroes reach land or another Tracker Barrel.  Tracker Barrels always moves horizontally, and never changes altitude.  Tracker Barrels are typically found in waterfall [[level]]s, as these types of levels are often plagued by large horizontal gaps.  In fact, the Tracker Barrel is the main feature of the waterfall level [[Tracker Barrel Trek]].

+Tracker Barrels allow [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] to cross large horizontal gaps. When [[jump]]ed into, a Tracker Barrel shoots the Kongs straight up in the air, following them as they move either left or right. Tracker Barrels shoot the Kongs higher in ''Donkey Kong Country 3'' than in ''Donkey Kong Land III''.

+Tracker Barrels are found in waterfall [[level]]s, which often feature large gaps. In ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', they appear only in [[Tracker Barrel Trek]]. In ''Donkey Kong Land III'', they appear in three levels: [[Rocketeer Rally]], [[Footloose Falls]], and [[Rickety Rapids]]. Oftentimes the Kongs must carefully navigate around [[Buzz (enemy)|Buzz]]es while being shot out from a Tracker Barrel, especially in the levels Tracker Barrel Trek and Rickety Rapids.
