'''Slot Machine Barrels'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' instruction booklet, page 18 (North American version), page 23 (PAL version)</ref> are a unique type of [[Barrel]] that appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', and ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. They have the same purpose as [[End of Level Target]]s and [[Level Flag]]s from earlier ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' titles, even giant fruits from ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'', in that they represent the end of every level (except boss levels and Key Temples).

'''Slot Machine Barrels'''<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|date=2010|publisher=Nintendo of America|title=''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' instruction booklet|page=18}}</ref><ref>{{cite|language=en-gb|date=2010|publisher=Nintendo of Europe|title=''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' instruction booklet|page=23}}</ref> are objects in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', and ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' (and [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|its Nintendo Switch port]]). These [[barrel]]s are the successors to [[End of Level Target]]s and [[Level Flag]]s from earlier ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' titles, even giant fruits from ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'', in that they represent the ends of all [[level]]s (except boss levels and Key Temples).


At first, a Slot Machine Barrel is idle and displays a yellow star on a red background. When the [[Kong]]s go near a Slot Machine Barrel, the roulette in its center begins to spin between prizes. They include a [[banana]] (which represents five), a [[Red Balloon]], a [[Banana Coin]], and a DK symbol. By hitting the barrel, the Kongs win the displayed prize, and the level ends. Unlike with End of Level Targets, the prizes for Slot Machine Barrels are consistent in every level.

By hitting the barrel, the Kongs win the displayed prize, and the level ends. Unlike End of Level Targets, the prizes for Slot Machine Barrels are consistent in every level.


If the Kongs hit a Slot Machine Barrel just as it displays the DK logo, the player can shake {{button|wii|wiimote}} (and {{button|wii|nunchuk}}, if one is used) in ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' or press {{button|3ds|X}}/{{button|3ds|Y}} or {{button|3ds|L}}/{{button|3ds|R}} (depending on the control scheme) in ''Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D'' to hit the Slot Machine Barrel several times until it breaks. The number of hits given to the barrel provides the same number of a random prize to the Kongs, to a maximum of 15.
If the Kongs hit a Slot Machine Barrel just as it displays the DK logo, the player can shake the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] (and [[Wii#Nunchuk|Nunchuk]], depending on play mode) to hit the Slot Machine Barrel several times until it breaks. The number of hits given to the barrel provides the same number of a random prize to the Kongs. The count does not exceed 15, even if the Slot Machine Barrel is hit more than 15 times.


In the [[Donkey Kong Country Returns#Time Attack|Time Attack]] mode, a Slot Machine Barrel displays a checkered flag. By hitting the barrel, [[Professor Chops]] waves the checkered flag to stop the timer, and the Kongs finish the level. In ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'', the Slot Machine Barrel of the [[Golden Temple]] displays a Mirror Trophy. When the Kongs hit that Slot Machine Barrel, the player unlocks Mirror Mode.

In ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'', some levels contain more than one Slot Machine Barrel. These additional barrels mark a secret exit, much like [[Goal Pole (secret)|secret Goal Pole]]s from the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' subseries, and they unlock a hidden, alternate path on the [[world]] map.
