Blast Barrels first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. When a character jumps into a Blast Barrel, it automatically launches them in a predetermined direction. The Blast Barrel can launch the [[Kong]]s at great distances and often allows them to reach a location that cannot be reached by other means. The Kongs cannot control when or in what direction they are fired, as the launch is purely automatic. In ''Donkey Kong Country'', Blast Barrels are also used to send the Kongs to [[bonus room]]s or near the end of the level; the [[Game Boy Advance]] version and sequels replace them with [[Bonus Barrel]]s and [[Warp Barrel]]s, respectively, although Blast Barrels with the former's functionality are reused as of ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''. | Blast Barrels first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''.
