The appearance, nature, and even names of specific kinds of item containers differ between environments, but they all mostly function the same. Item containers, as they are presented in the games' official guides, form a different gameplay concept from [[barrel]]s and [[DK Barrel]]s.

===''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat''===
Item containers first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'', where they exclusively yield [[banana|beat]]s. They commonly appear as [[Surprised Flower]]s or other plants that bloom when [[Donkey Kong]] claps near them. They can have other designs as well, such as [[clam]]s underwater. In ''[[New Play Control! Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'', a type that appears as a large seed has been added; it must be [[clap]]ped at repeatedly to make it grow through the soil and sprout. When it sprouts, it reveals beats.
