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 ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. They appear as floating barrels with either the word "ON" or "OFF" written 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 and the word 'OFF' on the barrel will be changed to 'ON' meaning the lights will be turned on, allowing the player to see the level more clearly. Noticeably, the red [[Klaptrap]]s cannot be seen very well when the lights are turned off, so the player must be cautious. [[Stop and Go Barrel]]s from the same game work similarly to On and Off Barrels. |

| | Numerous barrels that function just like On and Off Barrels from ''Donkey Kong Country'' appear in [[Glimmer's Galleon (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Glimmer's Galleon]], a pitch-dark underwater stage from ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. However, instead of the words "ON" or "OFF", they display a small light bulb icon. Once touched, the barrels will light up the area temporarily. |
