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.
A '''Boo Barrel''',<ref>M. Arakawa. ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble'' Player's Guide. Pages 96 and 97.</ref> also named '''Ghost Barrel'''<ref>''Nintendo Power'', Vol 91, December, 1996, page 61. "'''''CREEPY CAVERNS''' The Creepy Caverns used to be a warehouse filled with barrels of bananas, but now the dusty depository is haunted. Beware of the Ghost Barrels-hopping into one could blast you into a bunch of bananas-or a ton of trouble''"</ref><ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 103, pages 85, 89, and 91.</ref> (alternatively formatted as '''Ghost barrels'''),<ref>''Nintendo Official Magazine'' (UK) issue 54, page 50.</ref> is a ghostly type of [[Barrel]] that appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''.


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]].
Boo 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 Boo Barrel faces in a set direction, which determines where [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] get blasted to. The direction they face upon appearing is usually randomized, and thus, the Kongs will often have to time their entry just right to progress. They are also sometimes hazardous obstacles, as they can blast the Kongs into enemies. Such Boo Barrels must be passed while invisible.


In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', the Boo 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]].
