Loopy Lights is a tester!

J. ''Donkey Kong Country'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 6.</ref> are a type of [[barrel]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' that appears only in [[Loopy Lights]]. 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 of the On & Off Barrels change to "ON." This causes the [[level]] to illuminate for a few seconds, allowing the [[Kong]]s to see the path and the enemies ahead. On & Off Barrels are similar to the [[Stop & Go Barrel]]s from [[Stop & Go Station]].

In the [[Game Boy Color]] remake, Loopy Lights is not as dark while the ON/OFF Barrels are turned off. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, the level has a maroon tint while they are off, making it even less dark.

 

In ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', during the level [[Glimmer's Galleon (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Glimmer's Galleon]], there is a type of barrel similar to the On & Off Barrels. These barrels have a small lightbulb icon displayed on them, and when Diddy and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] touch one of these barrels, they temporarily brighten up the level.
