'''Plump Yellow Fruits'''{{refneeded}} are a type of plant with a yellow-red coloration that appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. Plump Yellow Fruits appear several times per level, letting out some items when the Kongs ground pound in front of it. They can be found on the ground, on climbing grass, on platforms, and on walls.
The appearance, nature, and even names of specific kinds of item containers differ between environments, but they all mostly function the same. Item containers, as they are presented in the games' official guides, form a different gameplay concept from [[barrel]]s and [[DK Barrel]]s.

===''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat''===
Item containers first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'', where they exclusively yield [[banana|beat]]s. They commonly appear as [[Surprised Flower]]s or other plants that bloom when [[Donkey Kong]] claps near them. They can have other designs as well, such as [[clam]]s underwater. In ''[[New Play Control! Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'', a type that appears as a large seed has been added; it must be [[clap]]ped at repeatedly to make it grow through the soil and sprout. When it sprouts, it reveals beats.

Ack statues are found only in [[Itty Bitty Biters]], the fifth level of the Ruins world.

Donkey Kong and Cranky Kong approaching a Plump Yellow Fruit, a kind of item container

Item containers,[1] or simply containers,[2] are objects in the Donkey Kong Country series. They generally yield an item if the Kongs perform a Ground Pound or an equivalent action in front of one. Containers can have bananas, Banana Coins, Red Balloons, or Puzzle Pieces inside them.

The appearance, nature, and even names of specific kinds of item containers differ between environments, but they all mostly function the same. Item containers, as they are presented in the games' official guides, form a different gameplay concept from barrels and DK Barrels.

History[edit]

Donkey Kong Jungle Beat[edit]

Item containers first appear in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, where they exclusively yield beats. They commonly appear as Surprised Flowers or other plants that bloom when Donkey Kong claps near them. They can have other designs as well, such as clams underwater. In New Play Control! Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, a type that appears as a large seed has been added; it must be clapped at repeatedly to make it grow through the soil and sprout. When it sprouts, it reveals beats.

Donkey Kong Country series[edit]

In Donkey Kong Country Returns and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, many kinds of containers are scattered on Donkey Kong Island, usually varying from world to world. Below is a list of every type of container included in the game, each accompanied by a physical description.

  • Pods[3] – Also called yellow gourds[4] or just gourds,[5] these are small yellow plants. They often surround relatives of bigger size, called large gourds,[6] which are a brighter yellow and display red spots. Once their terrain is pounded, gourds gradually wilt by splurging their fluid, along with an item. Yellow gourds are prevalent in places with a large amount of vegetation, such as the Jungle and Forest.
  • Treasure chests[7][8] – Objects that contain bananas, Banana Coins, and more items the Kongs can interact with. They are found only in the second world of the game, the Beach; additionally, they are also present in Gushin' Geysers, a level exclusive to the enhanced port.
  • Cacti[9][10] – Two distinct species of cacti, as suggested by the Prima guide, appear in the game, each being characteristic to either the Cave or the Cliff areas. Cave cacti resemble swollen spores, with their bulbed stems being olive and showing brown spots. They have orifices on their tops, from which bubble clusters continuously come out until the plant is wilted by the character's shocks. Cliff cacti look more like actual cacti, each being short, green, and globular.
  • Pumpkin 'n' firecracker – A very round object resembling a squash fruit, supported by a few sticks. It has a firecracker tucked within, which is launched upward if the Kongs pound the ground in front of the squash. Shortly after the Kongs let it loose, the firecracker detonates, releasing an item. Only one of its kind can be encountered in the first level of the Forest.
  • Ruins/Key Temple containers[11] – Brown amphorae that lie on spiraled supports. They form the only kind of container in hidden temple levels, as well as the main kind in the Ruins world. After their terrain gets pounded, they fall off the supports and break on the floor. They are amongst the most common types of containers in the game.
  • Factory containers[12] – Objects that resemble upside down water dispensers, supported by metal frames. Upon receiving the pounding shock, the water bottles rise up in the air and blow up, leaving out the item inside.
  • Volcano containers[13] – Metal flasks, whose contents boil on some burning material. If the ground they stand on is pounded, their lids open and reveal items. They are found only in the Volcano.
  • Ack statues – Stone sculptures, modeled after Toothberries or Acks. They are supported by plinths, and most of them can be collapsed and destroyed just like the other containers of the game, uncovering items. Some Ack statues hide actual Acks and Toothberries, which break out of the sculptures by themselves when the Kongs draw near. Ack statues are found only in Itty Bitty Biters, the fifth level of the Ruins world.
