An '''Invincibility Barrel''' | [[File:Invincibility Barrel.png|frame|left]] | ||
An '''Invincibility Barrel'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' instruction booklet, page 24.</ref> (also called an '''Exclamation Point Barrel'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet, [[Media:DKC2 Manual 18-19.jpg|page 18]].</ref> and an '''Invincible Barrel'''<ref>Nintendo Power Vol. 79, [[Media:Nintendo Power79 17.jpg|page 17]]</ref>) is an uncommon type of [[Barrel]] that first appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. It also appears in its handheld counterpart, ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', and its direct sequel, ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. | |||
Invincibility Barrels | Invincibility Barrels do not appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'' and have not appeared since. They have a few successors that appear in some later ''[[Donkey Kong (series)|Donkey Kong]]'' titles. In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', [[Donkey Kong]] has his own ability, [[Strong Kong]], that gives him temporary invincibility. In ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'', the player can temporarily gain invincibility by using the "Go Bananas" ability with 20 [[banana]]s, and in ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]'', [[Crystal Star]]s are the successor to "Go Bananas". | ||
==Description== | |||
In each of its appearances, Invincibility Barrels grant temporary invincibility to the [[Kong]]s, similar to a [[Super Star]] from the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]]. They are identifiable from the large, white exclamation mark painted on them. Through the effects of the Invincibility Barrel, the Kongs are able to defeat some of the stronger enemies, although normally invulnerable enemies, such as [[Snapjaw (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Snapjaw]], still remain unaffected. | |||
An Invincibility Barrel is sometimes required to reach a [[Bonus Area]]. An example is in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', during [[Bramble Scramble (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Bramble Scramble]], where [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] can use an Invincibility Barrel to safely move across a nearby [[bramble]] path and into the [[Bonus Barrel]]. In ''Donkey Kong Country 3'''s [[Riverside Race]], Dixie and [[Kiddy Kong]] must use an Invincibility Barrel (which is invisible, with a banana representing its location) to jump onto three red [[Buzz (enemy)|Buzz]]es to reach a Bonus Barrel on the hill. | |||
