Biplane Barrel
The Biplane Barrel[1] is an object in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2. In the former game's remake, the Biplane Barrel was replaced with the Gyrocopter. It is a special biplane-shaped barrel owned by Funky Kong that replaces the Jumbo Barrel from Donkey Kong Country, since Diddy Kong or Dixie Kong can visit Funky's Flights II to use the Biplane Barrel to travel between any previously accessed worlds (excluding the Lost World, which is accessible through Klubba's Kiosk only). The Biplane Barrel moves the player characters around on the world map faster than when they are on foot. At first, using the Biplane Barrel costs two Banana Bunch Coins per world, though all consecutive uses within that world is free. The Funky's Flights II theme continues to play on the world map while the Kongs are using the Biplane Barrel.
In DK: Jungle Climber, Funky owns a plane that largely resembles the Biplane Barrel, only referred to as Funky's airplane. Donkey and Diddy Kong use it travel to each world's smaller island, provided they have enough oil barrels.
