-'''Warp Barrels''' are the rarest [[barrel]]s in the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land (series)|Donkey Kong Land]]'' game series. As their names suggest, Warp Barrels warp the [[Kong]]s to the stage's [[Goal#Donkey Kong series|goal]]. Many Warp Barrels are located in certain almost inaccessible zones, usually hidden off-screen or invisible. Warp Barrels are an optional way to finish a stage, because they act as shortcuts, but they do not affect game progress. In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', and the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', Warp Barrels are found in every level in each game's first two worlds ([[Kongo Jungle]] and [[Monkey Mines]] in ''DKC'', [[Gangplank Galleon (world)|Gangplank Galleon]] and [[Crocodile Cauldron]] in ''DKC2'', and [[Lake Orangatanga]] and [[Kremwood Forest]] in ''DKC3'').
+'''Warp Barrels''' are uncommon types of [[barrel]]s that appear in the original ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' trilogy and the latter two ''[[Donkey Kong Land (series)|Donkey Kong Land]]'' games. They are usually distinguishable from the "W" painted on them. As their name suggests, Warp Barrels warp the [[Kong]]s to the stage's [[Goal#Donkey Kong series|goal]]. Warp Barrels are usually hidden off-screen or in out of reach areas. A Warp Barrel is invisible until the Kongs enter into it. Warp Barrels are optional and the Kongs are not required to enter them to finish a level.
-Usually, they appear as barrels with a "W" for "warp" painted on them (and covered with stars in the ''Donkey Kong Country'' series). In ''Donkey Kong Country'', they appeared as [[Auto-Fire Barrel]]s.
+In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', a Warp Barrel appears in every level of each game's first two worlds ([[Gangplank Galleon (world)|Gangplank Galleon]] and [[Crocodile Cauldron]] in the second game and [[Lake Orangatanga]] and [[Kremwood Forest]] in the third game). In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version of ''Donkey Kong Country'', a Warp Barrel appears in more levels, and there is also a Warp Barrel per every level.
-[[Extra Life Balloon]]s usually appear in warp stages.
+==History==
+===''Donkey Kong Country''===
+[[File:Warp Barrel area DKC GBA .png|thumb|The Warp Barrel area in the Game Boy Advance version]]
+Warp Barrels first appear in ''Donkey Kong Country'' with the appearance of an [[Auto-Fire Barrel]]. When entered, [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] are directly sent near the end of the level. Unlike other levels, [[Stop & Go Station]] has a Warp Barrel that can easily be found by walking into the entrance to the left at the very start.
+In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, the Warp Barrels were redesigned with the 'W' on a red explosive effect; this design also appears in the other two Game Boy Advance sequels. By entering a Warp Barrel, the Kongs are taken to an ice walkway in a black void, with pictures of some levels, each showing a different environment, hovering across in the background. On the icy path there are [[banana]]s that spell out "WARP".
+===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' / ''Donkey Kong Land 2''===
+In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', by entering a Warp Barrel, Diddy and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] are sent into a warp room. The warp room usually only takes up a single screen, and in the center is a group of bananas in the shape of a large exclamation mark. The Kongs can exit out of the warp room to their right.
+In ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', Warp Barrels have the same sprite as [[Bonus Barrel]]s. Unlike ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', the warp rooms do not have bananas shaping an exclamation mark. Warp Barrels only appear in levels from the first world, Gangplank Galleon.
+===''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' / ''Donkey Kong Land III''===
+In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', Warp Barrels have a "W" and white stars painted on them. Unlike the previous game, Dixie and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] are not sent into a warp room, so by entering the Warp Barrel, the Kongs are instantly warped in front of the [[Level Flag]].
+In ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', unlike ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', the Warp Barrels are marked with a "W". Unlike ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', the Warp Barrels take the Kongs to a small warp room, which they can exit from the right to reach the Level Flag.

+==Trivia==
+*While ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'' does not have any Warp Barrels, a few levels have a hidden alternate exit at the very start: [[Arctic Barrel Arsenal]], [[Sky High Caper]], and [[Skyscraper Caper]].
