'''Warp Barrels'''<ref>M. Arakawa. ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' Player's Guide. Page 18.</ref><ref>M. Arakawa. ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble'' Player's Guide. Page 14.</ref> are uncommon types of [[barrel]]s that appear in the original ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' trilogy and the latter two ''[[Donkey Kong Land (series)|Donkey Kong Land]]'' games. They are usually distinguishable from the "W" painted on them. As their name suggests, Warp Barrels warp the [[Kong]]s to the stage's [[Goal#Donkey Kong series|goal]]. Warp Barrels are usually hidden off-screen or in out of reach areas. A Warp Barrel is invisible until the Kongs enter into it. Warp Barrels are optional and the Kongs are not required to enter them to finish a level.

In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', a Warp Barrel appears in every level of each game's first two worlds ([[Gangplank Galleon (world)|Gangplank Galleon]] and [[Crocodile Cauldron]] in the second game and [[Lake Orangatanga]] and [[Kremwood Forest]] in the third game). In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', a Warp Barrel appears in more levels, and there is also a Warp Barrel per every level.

==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country''===
[[File:Warp Barrel area DKC GBA .png|thumb|The Warp Barrel area in the Game Boy Advance version]]
Warp Barrels first appear in ''Donkey Kong Country'' with the appearance of a [[Blast Barrel]] in the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super NES]] and [[Game Boy Color]] versions. When entered, [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] are directly sent near the end of the level. Unlike other levels, [[Stop & Go Station]] has a Warp Barrel that can easily be found by walking into the entrance to the left at the very start.

In the Game Boy Advance version, the Warp Barrels were redesigned with the 'W' on a red explosive effect; this design also appears in the other two Game Boy Advance sequels. By entering a Warp Barrel, the Kongs are taken to an ice walkway in a black void, with pictures of some levels, each showing a different environment, hovering across in the background. On the icy path there are [[banana]]s that spell out "WARP".

===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' / ''Donkey Kong Land 2''===
Warp Barrels appear in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' with the appearance of a [[Barrel Cannon|Barrel Kannon]] in the Super NES version. When entered, Diddy and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] are sent into a warp room. The warp room usually only takes up a single screen, and in the center is a group of bananas in the shape of a large exclamation mark. The Kongs can exit out of the warp room to their right.

In ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', Warp Barrels have the same sprite as [[Bonus Barrel]]s. Unlike ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', the warp rooms do not have bananas shaped like an exclamation mark. Warp Barrels only appear in levels from the first world, Gangplank Galleon.

===''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' / ''Donkey Kong Land III''===
In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', Warp Barrels have a "W" and white stars painted on them. Unlike the previous game, Dixie and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] are not sent into a warp room, so by entering the Warp Barrel, the Kongs are instantly warped in front of the [[Level Flag]]. 

In ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', unlike ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', the Warp Barrels are marked with a "W". Unlike ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', the Warp Barrels take the Kongs to a small warp room, which they can exit from the right to reach the Level Flag.

==Trivia==
*While ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'' does not have any Warp Barrels, a few levels have a hidden alternate exit at the very start: [[Arctic Barrel Arsenal]], [[Sky High Caper]], and [[Skyscraper Caper]].
