| '''Barrel Cannon Canyon''', also named '''Barrel Canyon''',<ref>{{cite|date=November 1994|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) issue 26 (NMS Special)|page=12}}</ref> is the fifth level of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. It is also the fifth and last regular level of [[Kongo Jungle]]. It takes place in the jungle, and is considered the hardest level of its world, which it is the penultimate and longest one of. As its name suggests, Barrel Cannon Canyon involves blasting [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] across numerous abysses via [[Barrel Cannon]]s and [[Blast Barrel]]s. This also occurs in [[Tree Top Town]] and [[Snow Barrel Blast]]. The [[Kong]]s must carefully time when to fire from some of the Barrel Cannons, or otherwise they fall down a pitfall. | | '''Barrel Cannon Canyon''' is the fifth level of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', and the final level of the [[Kongo Jungle]] areas. It is the first time the player will have to use [[Barrel Cannon]]s to blast the [[Kong]]s in all directions. Enemies such as green, red and blue [[Kritters]] as well as yellow and orange [[Zingers]] will be in the Kongs' way. Upon completing this stage, the Kongs can challenge [[Very Gnawty]] and finish the Kongo Jungle area. |
|
| |
|
| The Kongs can shortcut through portions of the level by blasting from a Blast Barrel on top of the level entrance, and then a few more from more Blast Barrels above treetops later in the stage. Each of these treetops are located in between two abysses with a chain of Barrel Cannons.

| [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]] and [[Diddy Kong]] begin the level by exiting a tunnel with a Blast Barrel above it, which can blast them to a treetop farther into the level, where another Blast Barrel is located that can blast them ahead to the second [[DK Barrel]] in the level. If the Kongs continue along the main path of the level, they can find two Kritters marching ahead of a Barrel Cannon that is able to fire them into the air and into the [[KONG Letters|letter K]]. A ledge stands next to the barrel with a piece of the ground that the Kongs can land on to break it and reveal a [[DK Barrel]]. A cliff is ahead of here with a hidden area ahead of it, containing a [[Winky]] [[animal token|Token]], and a piece of land is positioned behind the area that the Kongs can walk along. They are attacked by hopping Kritters as they move across this area, soon reaching a ledge with another Barrel Cannon at the bottom of it, which can blast them over a nearby abyss and into a pair of Kritters.

| More Kritters walk in a lower area on the sides of a small pit. The pit is followed by a long, straight pathway with a few more Kritters and a raised piece of land on it. A Barrel Cannon sits on the raised ground, able to be used to blast into a barrel higher in the air that can carry the heroes into some [[banana]]s. An abyss containing four Barrel Cannons that move in horizontal paths when entered is ahead, and they can use them to cross it. As they blast over the pit, they fire past the letter O. The final barrel shoots them high into the air onto a treetop with a DK Barrel on it. The heroes can find an alcove ahead of here with a trio of Kritters hopping in it. They can also find an abyss soon after it that contains a mixture of many Barrel Cannons and Blast Barrels, which move in either horizontal or vertical paths. The final barrel in this area blast the heroes over a long pathway and into the level's [[Star Barrel|Continue Barrel]].

| The primates can find an alcove with a Kritter hopping in it ahead of here. A DK Barrel wobbles on a slightly higher piece of ground next to it. Two smaller alcoves are ahead, with two Kritters jumping around them. The second alcove contains a [[TNT Barrel|TNT Drum]] that can be used to blast open the hidden entrance to a [[Bonus room|Bonus Level]]. A lower area consisting of a lone Kritter can be found nearby with a small pit after it. This pit is followed by a large area of land with a raised piece of ground in the center of it. Two Kritters jump on top of it, surrounding a barrel that can blast the heroes to a Blast Barrel, which then sends them to a second Blast Barrel. This barrel then blasts them onto a platform nearby, which contains the letter N that they can break out of it. If the primates do not shoot through these barrels, they come up to a pair of platforms in an abyss, the second platform being the one containing the letter N. A larger piece of land with a Kritter on it follows this area. If the Kongs manage to pass it, they can reach a wide abyss containing many Barrel Cannons and Blast Barrels that move in horizontal and vertical directions. As they shoot over the abyss with these barrels, several Zingers fly in their way. Once they pass the foes and cross the abyss, they find themselves on a long piece of land with a few Kritters hopping along it. A sign indicating that the level is almost done also can be found on the edge of this area. The final Kritter in the level front of a tunnel nearby, located immediately after an exit sign. The letter G can be found on the treetops above here. If the primates enter the tunnel, they complete the level, unlocking [[Very Gnawty's Lair|the boss battle]] against [[Very Gnawty]].

| ===K-O-N-G Letters===
| |
| {{multiframe|[[File:BarrelCannonCanyon-O1.png|200px]] [[File:BarrelCannonCanyon-O2.png|200px]]|size=420|The location of the two letter O's in Barrel Cannon Canyon}}
| |
| | |
| *'''K:''' The Kongs must blast upwards in the first Barrel Cannon down the trail. The letter K is located at the very top of their blast.
| |
| *'''O:''' There are two letter O's, and only one is obtained based on which path the Kongs take. One of them is found by taking the Barrel Cannon shortcuts above the level, specifically located after the Rambi Token. The other one is located at the end of the first abyss to have both Barrel Cannons and Blast Barrels.
| |
| *'''N:''' Shortly after the Continue Barrel, the Kongs can find a Barrel Cannon that blasts upward in the direction of a moving Blast Barrel. It is surrounded by two brown Kritters. If they blast into the Blast Barrel, they automatically blast to another one, which then fires them down onto an item cache revealing the letter N.
| |
| *'''G:''' The letter G is located on two treetops right before the exit.

| |
| {{multiframe|[[File:BarrelCannonCanyon-Bonus1.png|200px]] [[File:BarrelCannonCanyon-Bonus2.png|200px]]|size=420|The first and second Bonus Levels, respectively}} | |
| Reptile Rumble has two Bonus Levels, listed by their type in the Game Boy Advance version:
| |
| | |
| *'''''Find the Exit!''''': Right after the letter O, the Kongs must hop in a Barrel Cannon facing a wall while avoiding a nearby barrel across from them. The Kongs must shoot out of their barrel and slam into the wall. The wall breaks open and the Kongs enter the first Bonus Level. Here the Kongs must blast through several [[Barrel Cannon]]s to the end. Items such as [[banana]]s, [[Red Balloon|Life Balloon]]s, and an [[Expresso]] [[animal token|Token]] are located between the Barrel Cannons.
| |
| *'''''Collect the Prizes!''''': Shortly after the Continue Barrel, the Kongs must find a [[TNT Barrel|TNT Drum]]. They should pick it up and carry it to the nearest wall to the left while passing a Kritter They must break open one of the walls and enter a Bonus Level, where they begin in a barrel. As it moves them back and forth through the area, they must shoot out of it and grab some items in the three rows of collectibles. After claiming their prizes, the Kongs can miss the Barrel Cannon and fall below it to exit the Bonus Level.
| |
| | |
| ==Warp Barrel==
| |
| Barrel Cannon Canyon has a [[Warp Barrel]] exclusively in the Game Boy Advance version. At the beginning of the level, the Kongs should pass the first two Kritters and shoot out of a Barrel Cannon to reach a higher ledge. If they roll jump off of the bottom-end of this ledge, they can reach a hidden platform holding a Blast Barrel and a [[Winky]] [[animal token|Token]]. They should jump over the barrel to reach the hidden [[Warp Barrel]], which takes them to a sign near the end of the level that indicates that it is almost over.
