'''Warp Barrels'''<ref>{{cite|author=Miller, Kent and Paul Shinoda|title=''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' Player's Guide|page=18|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|date=1995}}</ref><ref | '''Warp Barrels'''<ref>{{cite|author=Miller, Kent and Paul Shinoda|title=''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' Player's Guide|page=18|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|date=1995}}</ref><ref>{{cite|author=Owsen, Dan, Kent Miller, and Paul Shinoda|title=''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble'' Player's Guide|page=14|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1996}}</ref> are an uncommon type of [[barrel]] that appears in 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 it. Warp Barrels are optional, and the Kongs are not required to enter them to finish a [[level]]. | ||

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|SNES]] version. When a Warp Barrel is entered, [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] are sent into a warp room. The warp room usually takes up only 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 the warp room to their right. Only the levels in [[Gangplank Galleon (world)|Gangplank Galleon]] and [[Crocodile Cauldron]] have Warp Barrels in them. | |||
Warp Barrels appear | |||
In ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', Warp Barrels have the same sprite as [[Bonus Barrel]]s. Unlike in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', the warp rooms do not have bananas shaped like an exclamation mark. Warp Barrels appear only in levels from the first world, Gangplank Galleon. | |||
===''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' / ''Donkey Kong Land III''=== | |||
In | In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', Warp Barrels have a ''W'' decoration on them. Unlike in 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]]. [[Lake Orangatanga]] and [[Kremwood Forest]] are the only worlds whose levels have Warp Barrels. | ||
In ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', unlike ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', the Warp Barrels are marked with a ''W''. Unlike in ''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 appear only 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 that sent [[Donkey Kong]] and Diddy near the end of the level in previous versions. There are many more Warp Barrels than the original barrels, and appear in levels of [[Kongo Jungle]] and [[Monkey Mines]], as well as in [[Trick Track Trek]]. Warp Barrels were redesigned to sport a "W" on an explosive red design, which would be reused for the [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|sequel's remake]]. Entering a Warp Barrel takes the Kongs to a place with an ice walkway in a black void and [[banana]]s arranged to spell the word "WARP." There are also floating screenshots traveling across the background. In all versions, [[Stop & Go Station]] has an off-screen warp point that functions like a Warp Barrel, which is found by walking into the entrance to the left at the very start. | |||
