A '''Tracker Barrel'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' instruction booklet, page 24.</ref> is a type of [[Barrel Cannon]] that appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. It is emblazoned with the capital letter ''T'' surrounded by two arrows, one pointing left and one pointing right. The ''T'' stands for "Tracker" on the barrel, and the arrows represent the barrel's ability to track the [[Kong]]s horizontally.

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.
