Warp Barrels appear in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' with the appearance of a [[Barrel Cannon|Barrel Kannon]] in the Super NES version. When entered, [[Diddy Kong|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 [[banana]]s in the shape of a large exclamation mark. The Kongs can exit out of the warp room to their right. | Warp Barrels appear in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' with the appearance of a [[Barrel Cannon|Barrel Kannon]] in the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super NES]] version.

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 shaped like an exclamation mark.

They are much more common than the original barrels, appearing once per level. Warp Barrels were redesigned with the 'W' on a red explosive effect; this design also appears in the other two Game Boy Advance remakes. By entering a Warp Barrel, the Kongs are taken to a space with its own music track that does not exist in other versions of the game - 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 bananas that spell out "WARP", and the end of the scene puts the Kongs near the end of the level. In all versions of the game, [[Stop & Go Station]] has an off-screen warp point that functions as one of these barrels, which is found by walking into the entrance to the left at the very start. | ||
