| DK Barrels are introduced in ''Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D''. They are an item exclusive to the game's New Mode. DK Barrels can be purchased from [[Cranky Kong's Shop]] for five [[Banana Coin]]s. If [[Donkey Kong]] brings a DK Barrel with him in a level, is not with [[Diddy Kong]], and is in a state where he can carry a [[barrel]], the player can tap the Touch Screen to have Donkey Kong throw out the DK Barrel. (DK Barrels cannot be held, only thrown.) Instructions for using a DK Barrel are present on the Touch Screen if the player enters a level with a DK Barrel equipped, but go away if a level reloads while the player has no DK Barrels. Throwing a DK Barrel has all the effects a normal DK Barrel found in a level has: defeating enemies, breaking [[Burlap Hanging Sack]]s, calling out Diddy Kong, and restoring Donkey Kong's [[Heart (item)|heart]]s. (States where Donkey Kong cannot hold Barrels include while in [[Mine Cart]]s, while standing on Mine Carts, inside [[Rocket Barrel]]s, on Rocket Barrels, on [[Rambi]], in [[Barrel Cannon]]s, while shooting out of Barrel Cannons, while [[Cling]]ing, while [[Hand Slap|ground-pound]]ing, and while [[grab|hold]]ing any other object.)
| |
| | |
| In ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns HD]]'', DK Barrels are available in Modern Mode.
| |
| | |
| ===''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''===
| |
| While DK Barrels do not appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', [[Funky's Fly 'n' Buy]] sells Diddy Kong Barrels, Dixie Kong Barrels, and Cranky Kong Barrels for 15 Banana Coins each. Each of these items enables Donkey Kong to start a level with the barrel's character. If Donkey Kong already has a buddy, then the Barrel is inert until he does not have a buddy. After a short delay, signified by it growing and shrinking, it activates to give Donkey Kong the specified character. Donkey Kong is unable to throw these barrels in this game.
| |
| | |
| In Funky Mode of the [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch port]], [[Funky Kong]] is unable to use any of the three Barrels.
