| A '''Boo Barrel''',<ref>{{cite|author=Owsen, Dan, Kent Miller, and Paul Shinoda|title=''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble'' Player's Guide|page=96-97|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1996}}</ref> also named '''Ghost Barrel'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Power'', Volume 91|date=December 1996|page=61|quote='''CREEPY CAVERNS''' The Creepy Caverns used to be a warehouse filled with barrels of bananas, but now the dusty depository is haunted.

Each Boo Barrel faces in a set direction, which it blasts [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] to while pointed in the direction. The direction that a Boo Barrel faces is usually randomized, so therefore the [[Kong]]s often have to time their entry just right to progress. Some Boo Barrels are hazardous obstacles, since they can only blast the Kongs into enemies, and therefore should be passed while invisible. | |

|
| In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', the Boo Barrels appear only in the [[Kaos Kore]] level [[Creepy Caverns]]. They appear a little more often in ''Donkey Kong Land III'', in three [[level]]s: [[Stalagmite Frights]], [[Haunted Hollows]], and [[Ghoulish Grotto]].
| | Ghost Barrels act the same as [[Blast Barrel]]s except that they vanish and reappear every few seconds, like the [[Rope (species)|Rope]]s of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest|Donkey Kong Country 2]]''. Each Ghost Barrel faces in a set direction, which determines where [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] get blasted at. Ghost Barrels allow the [[Kong]]s to reach a higher altitude. They are sometimes hazardous obstacles, as they can blast the Kongs into enemies. Such Ghost Barrels may have to be passed while invisible. |

| | In ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', the Ghost Barrels only appear in the [[KAOS Kore]] level, [[Creepy Caverns]]. They appear a little more often in ''Donkey Kong Land III'', in three levels: [[Stalagmite Frights]], [[Haunted Hollows]], and [[Ghoulish Grotto]]. |
