| | A '''Booster Barrel''' is a type of [[Barrel]] that appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'' "[[DK: King of Swing]]", and its sequel, "[[DK: Jungle Climber]]". This special barrel allows the members of the [[Kong Family]] to reach higher ground. The Booster Barrel looks like a normal, unmarked [[Barrel Kannon]]. However, when the [[Kong]]s [[jump]] into this wooden device, flames will immediately blast out of the bottom of the barrel like a rocket. The Booster Barrel (with the Kongs inside) will then shoot straight up into the sky until it reaches a predetermined location. While at this spot, the barrel will launch the heroes upwards into the air. The Kongs can then maneuver left or right while in mid-air to land on stable ground. Upon releasing the apes, the Booster Barrel will descend to its original position. Booster Barrels are typically found in waterfall [[level]]s, as these stages often require the Kongs to ascend vertically to the top of the waterfalls. In the GBA remake they had an arrow on them to differentiate them from regular barrels. |

| A '''Booster Barrel'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' instruction booklet|page=25|date=1996|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> is a type of [[Barrel Cannon]] that first appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and later in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', in which it has the same purpose. It functions like a rocket by utilizing a flame booster below to transport [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] to a higher area. It has an up arrow painted on it (similar to that of an [[Arrow Barrel]]), indicating that it carries the [[Kong]]s upward. When a Booster Barrel is entered, the flame at the bottom of it grows slightly, and blasts the Kongs out upon reaching a predetermined location. The Kongs can slightly maneuver themselves either left or right, which is required to land on the ground. After blasting out the Kongs, the Booster Barrel slowly descends back to its original position. Booster Barrels most often appear in waterfall [[level]]s, such as [[Rocket Barrel Ride]], as such stages usually require the Kongs to ascend vertically to the top of the waterfalls. | |

| Booster Barrels also appear in ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'' and ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]''. In both games, they function somewhat differently than in their original appearance, because the Kongs are capable of steering the barrel itself while using it. Booster Barrels also expel a blue flame rather than an orange one. | | Booster Barrels also appear in ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'' and ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]'', where they function somewhat differently, as they are capable of being steered while expelling a blue flame. |
