| | '''Check and X Barrels''' are special types of barrel that appear in [[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]. The Check Barrel helps the Kongs while the X ones do the complete opposite. These appear in a few levels with a [[Skull Cart]], and they are important in these levels. In [[Target Terror]], they act as switches to open gates that are in the way. In [[Haunted Hall]], there are similar [[Plus and Minus Barrels|barrels]]. |

| '''Check and X Barrels'''<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|date=1995|publisher=Nintendo of America|title=''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet|page={{file link|DKC2 Manual 18-19.jpg|18}}}}</ref> are types of [[barrel]]s in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. A Check Barrel has a check mark painted on it, and an X Barrel has an ''X'' painted on it (the symbols are colored green and red, respectively, in ''Donkey Kong Country 2''). Check and X Barrels are located in [[Target Terror]] only, where they open and close gates, respectively. [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] have to hit the Check Barrels while avoiding the X Barrels to avoid taking damage or losing a life. | |
| | |
| Similar types of barrels appear in [[Haunted Hall]]: the [[Plus and Minus Barrels]], though they are marked with a green and red symbol, respectively. Rather than opening gates, these barrels increase or decrease the timer during each [[Kackle]] chase. The [[Kong]]s must hit the Plus Barrels while avoiding their Minus variant. They also make the same sound effect as Check and X Barrels do when the Kongs run into one.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *The English manual's description of the Check and X Barrels incorrectly refers to the Check Barrels as "U Barrels."
| |
| *In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', during [[Chunky Kong|Chunky]]'s [[Mine Cart Ride]] in [[Fungi Forest]], there are green and red bells that function similarly.
