| | '''Warp Barrels''' are the rarest [[barrel]]s in the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land (series)|Donkey Kong Land]]'' game series. As their names suggest, Warp Barrels warp the [[Kong]]s to the stage's [[Goal#Donkey Kong series|goal]]. Many Warp Barrels are located in certain almost inaccessible zones, usually hidden off-screen or invisible. Warp Barrels are an optional way to finish a stage, because they act as shortcuts, but they do not affect game progress. In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', and the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', Warp Barrels are found in every level in each game's first two worlds ([[Kongo Jungle]] and [[Monkey Mines]] in ''DKC'', [[Gangplank Galleon (world)|Gangplank Galleon]] and [[Crocodile Cauldron]] in ''DKC2'', and [[Lake Orangatanga]] and [[Kremwood Forest]] in ''DKC3''). |

A Warp Barrel can normally be told apart from the ''W'' painted on it. A Warp Barrel has the function of an optional [[warp]], sending the player characters to the [[goal]]. Warp Barrels are usually hidden off-screen or in out-of-reach areas. A Warp Barrel is invisible until the Kongs enter it.

| ==History==
| | Usually, they appear as barrels with a "W" for "warp" painted on them (and covered with stars in the ''Donkey Kong Country'' series). In ''Donkey Kong Country'', they appeared as [[Auto-Fire Barrel]]s. |

| In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', Warp Barrels replace the [[Blast Barrel]]s that sent [[Donkey Kong]] and Diddy near the end of the level in previous versions.

| |
| Warp Barrels appear only in [[level]]s of [[Gangplank Galleon (world)|Gangplank Galleon]] and [[Cape Codswallop]], the first [[world]]s of ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'' respectively. They take the player characters to a small, hidden room leading right before the end of the level. Warp Barrels have an identical sprite to [[Bonus Barrel]]s in ''Donkey Kong Land 2'' but are marked with a distinct "W" in ''Donkey Kong Land III''.
