As suggested by their name, On & Off Barrels act similarly to light switches. They are found either on the ground or in midair. By default, every On & Off Barrel has the white text "OFF" painted on it. If [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] touch an On & Off Barrel, all On & Off Barrels switch to "ON," lighting up the level for a few seconds, during which the [[Kong]]s can see the path and the enemies ahead. On & Off Barrels are similar to the [[Stop & Go Barrel]]s from [[Stop & Go Station]]. In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Color)|Game Boy Color version]], Loopy Lights is not as dark while the ON/OFF Barrels are turned off, and the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]] gives the level maroon tint while the On & Off Barrels are set to "OFF," making it even less dark.
| | '''On and Off Barrels''' are a type of barrels found in the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] game ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. They appear as barrels with either the word "ON" or "OFF" on them. |
|

|
| Though On & Off Barrels make no other appearances, the ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' iteration of [[Glimmer's Galleon (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Glimmer's Galleon]] features a similar type of barrel throughout, named [[Light Barrel]]s, which brighten the level temporarily.
| | These barrels only appear in one [[level]], [[Loopy Lights]]. If the respective [[barrel]] is set on the word 'OFF', all the mine shaft lights in the level are turned off; but if the [[player]] ([[Donkey Kong|Donkey]] or [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]]) touches one, he or she will switch the lights on, and the word 'OFF' on the barrel will be changed to 'ON'. They help the heroes to see better on their way. Noticeably, the red [[Klaptrap]]s can't be seen very well when the lights are turned off, so the player must be careful. |
