'''Arrow Barrels''',<ref>{{cite|title=''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet|page={{file link|DKC2 Manual 18-19.jpg|18}}|date=1995|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> also known as '''Blast Barrels''',{{ref needed}} are objects in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' Each of them has a white arrow on the side. Like normal [[Blast Barrel]]s, they fire the [[Kong]]s out automatically after they [[jump]] inside. Unlike normal Blast Barrels, which often turn before firing, Arrow Barrels always face a fixed direction, making it clear where the Kongs will be fired before they jump inside. Most Arrow Barrels point straight upwards or at an upwards angle and are used to climb vertically oriented stages. Usually, they have a relatively weak blast, allowing the Kongs to slightly control their paths in the air, which is less common in normal Blast Barrels. However, a few Arrow Barrels have stronger blasts that put the Kongs on uncontrollable linear paths.


In most games since ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', the Arrow Barrels' design is adapted to standard [[Barrel Cannon]]s, likely to better differentiate them from normal [[barrel]]s.

In non-[[Rare Ltd.|Rareware]] games starting with ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', the Arrow Barrels' design is adapted to standard [[Barrel Cannon]]s, likely to make them better stand out from normal [[barrel]]s.
