'''Check and X Barrels''' are special types of barrel that appear in [[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]. The Check Barrel helps the Kongs while the X ones do the complete opposite. These appear in a few levels with a [[Skull Cart]], and they are important in these levels. In [[Target Terror]], they act as switches to open gates that are in the way. In [[Haunted Hall]], there are similar [[Plus and Minus Barrels|barrels]].

Check and X Barrels[1] are types of barrels in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2. A Check Barrel has a check mark painted on it, and an X Barrel has an X painted on it (the symbols are colored green and red, respectively, in Donkey Kong Country 2). Check and X Barrels are located in Target Terror only, where they open and close gates, respectively. Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong have to hit the Check Barrels while avoiding the X Barrels to avoid taking damage or losing a life.

Similar types of barrels appear in Haunted Hall: the Plus and Minus Barrels, though they are marked with a green and red symbol, respectively. Rather than opening gates, these barrels increase or decrease the timer during each Kackle chase. The Kongs must hit the Plus Barrels while avoiding their Minus variant. They also make the same sound effect as Check and X Barrels do when the Kongs run into one.
