Editing Warp Barrel

'''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 from the latter two ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[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).

==History==
===''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 Nintendo Entertainment System|Super NES]] version. When entered, [[Diddy Kong|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 [[banana]]s 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" decoration 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 End of Level Flag. Warp Barrels only appear in the first world, [[Cape Codswallop]].

===''Donkey Kong Country''===
[[File:Warp Barrel area DKC GBA .png|thumb|The Warp Barrel area in the Game Boy Advance remake]]
In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', Warp Barrels replace the [[Blast Barrel]]s from the Super NES and [[Game Boy Color]] versions that send [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]] and Diddy Kong near the end of the level. They are much more common than the original barrels, with warps appearing once per level. Warp Barrels were redesigned with the "W" on a red explosive effect; this design also appears in the Game Boy Advance remake of ''Donkey Kong Country 2''. By entering a Warp Barrel, the Kongs are taken to a space with its own music track that does not exist in other versions of the game - 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 bananas that spell out "WARP", and the end of the scene puts the Kongs near the end of the level. In all versions of the game, [[Stop & Go Station]] has an off-screen warp point that functions as one of these barrels, which is found by walking into the entrance to the left at the very start.

==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]].
