{{about|a type of [[barrel]] in [[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]|[[Diddy Kong]]'s ability to fly with the [[Barrel Jet|Rocketbarrel Pack]]|[[Rocketbarrel Boost]]}}
The '''Rocket Barrel''' is a special barrel found in the final level of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', known as [[Rocket Rush]]. This special barrel must be used by the Kongs to travel through the [[Buzz]] infested cliffs. The apes can control the rocket to move left and right, and they can also hit A to use the exhaust fuel. However, doing so causes the barrel to run out of fuel faster, which can only be replenished by [[Fuel Barrel]]s. After the monkeys maneuver to the bottom of the cliff, they hit into an [[Ignition Barrel]] and quickly begin to ride upwards. The Rocket Barrel must then be controlled as it slides through the small gaps of the cliffside. If they hit into any of the walls in the gaps, they run out of fuel much faster. Eventually, they should make it to the landing platform and get out of the Rocket Barrel to finish off the level.

The '''Rocket Barrel''' is a special [[barrel]] that allows characters to fly through the air.


In the [[Super Nintendo]] version of the game, the Rocket Barrel can simply defeat any type of Buzz by making contact with it. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, however, the player can only defeat Buzzes by landing over them, then pressing A to use exhaust. However, this only works with green Buzzes, so the red Buzzes scattered throughout the level cannot be defeated at all in the Game Boy Advance version. If the Rocket Barrel hits into them, one of the apes can get damaged.

The '''Rocket Barrel''' makes a reappearance in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''. The Kongs can hold the A button to rise up, and let go of A to let the Rocket Barrel descend. [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] must be careful though, as there are many dangers to avoid and they must have quick reflexes. If the Kongs hit something, the Rocket Barrel explodes and the Kongs will lose a life.
In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]], only green Buzzes can be defeated from exhaust flames, not red Buzzes. If the Rocket Barrel hits either type of Buzz, the player loses a Kong.

Rocket Barrels reappear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', its [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D|port]], and its [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Donkey Kong Country Returns HD|port]]. They have been dramatically reinterpreted, now serving as an aerial equivalent to a [[Mine Cart]].  Initially, a Rocket Barrel resembles a [[Barrel Cannon]] but with red hoops and no symbol on the front. When the player hops inside, they have to mash the {{button|wii|A}} button to power it up. Each press sends out a loud blast of exhaust, and if the player does not press the button again soon enough, the Rocket Barrel resets back to its initial state. The Rocket Barrel launches after the button is pressed three times. It gains a rocket-like pointy top and reveals red fins. The [[Kong]]s are brought out of the craft and have to hold on from outside. Unlike ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', Rocket Barrels do not have a fuel supply in a gameplay-relevant sense. They move automatically across the entire level in autoscrolling scenarios, with the player steering to collect items and avoid hazards. The controls for a Rocket Barrel vary based on the level. Much like a Mine Cart, a Rocket Barrel explodes on contact with anything that is not an item or a balloon of a [[Mole Guard]]. This instantly defeats the player. In the 3DS and Switch ports, an equipped [[Crash Guard]] can protect the Rocket Barrel from two hits. Mercy invincibility is provided as normal, but like [[Banana Juice]] the protection of a Crash Guard is not replenished if Donkey Kong dies after using them.
 
In side-scrolling levels, the player holds the {{button|wii|A}} button or {{button|wii|2}} button to rise up, and lets go of {{button|wii|A}} to let the Rocket Barrel descend. At the top and bottom edge of the screen, the Rocket Barrel enters a holding pattern instead of leaving the screen. Once the player approaches the final platform of the level, the Rocket Barrel sputters and drops to the ground. While it explodes, this is an cutscene safely delivering the player to the area with the [[Slot Machine Barrel]]. In vertical-scrolling levels, the player can use {{button|wii|Stick}} or {{button|wii|padleftright}} to move left or right, though the controls are more slippery compared to when on on foot. Holding the {{button|wii|A}} or {{button|wii|2}} button makes the Rocket Barrel boost higher on the screen. If the button for boosting is not held, the Rocket Barrel descends back to the bottom. of the screen. Again, the player cannot leave the screen, being held up by the bottom edge and repelled by all other edges. The bottom edge and top edge prevent the Rocket Barrel from getting as close to them. There are only two vertically-scrolling Rocket Barrel levels: [[Lift-off Launch]] and [[Tiki Tong Terror]]. Both of them end arbitrarily: the first has the player rise into the clouds, while the second ends on a cutscene leading to the next part of the level.
 
There are two themes associated with the Rocket Barrel. "[[Mine Menace]]" is used for most horizontally scrolling levels. [[Hot Rocket]] plays a different arrangement of "Mine Menace". "Mole Patrol" is used for [[Mole Patrol]] and [[Lift-off Launch]]. The latter has a variation, titled "Red Rockin'", which only plays in Tiki Tong Terror. This second composition associates "Mole Patrol" ever so slightly more with the vertically-scrolling levels. These themes only start when the Rocket Barrel launches, and have a lower intensity version that plays once the player lands.

History[edit]

Donkey Kong Country series[edit]

A Rocket Barrel is used throughout Rocket Rush in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!. The Rocket Barrel has a limited fuel supply that can be filled by Fuel Barrels only.[1] The Rocket Barrel descends slowly for a third of the level.[2] The Rocket Barrel can be moved either left or right, pressing A Button releases exhaust fuel from the Rocket Barrel, but this causes the Rocket Barrel to run out of fuel quicker.[3] The Rocket Barrel also loses fuel faster from hitting obstacles.[4] The Ignition Barrel, which comes after the Star Barrel,[5] causes the Rocket Barrel to rapidly blast upward.[5] The player characters eventually exit the Rocket Barrel and enter the final area with the Level Flag.[6]

In the remake, only green Buzzes can be defeated from exhaust flames, not red Buzzes. If the Rocket Barrel hits either type of Buzz, the player loses a Kong.

Rocket Barrels reappear in Donkey Kong Country Returns, its Nintendo 3DS port, and its Nintendo Switch port. They have been dramatically reinterpreted, now serving as an aerial equivalent to a Mine Cart. Initially, a Rocket Barrel resembles a Barrel Cannon but with red hoops and no symbol on the front. When the player hops inside, they have to mash the A Button button to power it up. Each press sends out a loud blast of exhaust, and if the player does not press the button again soon enough, the Rocket Barrel resets back to its initial state. The Rocket Barrel launches after the button is pressed three times. It gains a rocket-like pointy top and reveals red fins. The Kongs are brought out of the craft and have to hold on from outside. Unlike Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, Rocket Barrels do not have a fuel supply in a gameplay-relevant sense. They move automatically across the entire level in autoscrolling scenarios, with the player steering to collect items and avoid hazards. The controls for a Rocket Barrel vary based on the level. Much like a Mine Cart, a Rocket Barrel explodes on contact with anything that is not an item or a balloon of a Mole Guard. This instantly defeats the player. In the 3DS and Switch ports, an equipped Crash Guard can protect the Rocket Barrel from two hits. Mercy invincibility is provided as normal, but like Banana Juice the protection of a Crash Guard is not replenished if Donkey Kong dies after using them.

In side-scrolling levels, the player holds the A Button button or Two Button button to rise up, and lets go of A Button to let the Rocket Barrel descend. At the top and bottom edge of the screen, the Rocket Barrel enters a holding pattern instead of leaving the screen. Once the player approaches the final platform of the level, the Rocket Barrel sputters and drops to the ground. While it explodes, this is an cutscene safely delivering the player to the area with the Slot Machine Barrel. In vertical-scrolling levels, the player can use Nunchuk Control Stick or +Control Pad left or right to move left or right, though the controls are more slippery compared to when on on foot. Holding the A Button or Two Button button makes the Rocket Barrel boost higher on the screen. If the button for boosting is not held, the Rocket Barrel descends back to the bottom. of the screen. Again, the player cannot leave the screen, being held up by the bottom edge and repelled by all other edges. The bottom edge and top edge prevent the Rocket Barrel from getting as close to them. There are only two vertically-scrolling Rocket Barrel levels: Lift-off Launch and Tiki Tong Terror. Both of them end arbitrarily: the first has the player rise into the clouds, while the second ends on a cutscene leading to the next part of the level.

There are two themes associated with the Rocket Barrel. "Mine Menace" is used for most horizontally scrolling levels. Hot Rocket plays a different arrangement of "Mine Menace". "Mole Patrol" is used for Mole Patrol and Lift-off Launch. The latter has a variation, titled "Red Rockin'", which only plays in Tiki Tong Terror. This second composition associates "Mole Patrol" ever so slightly more with the vertically-scrolling levels. These themes only start when the Rocket Barrel launches, and have a lower intensity version that plays once the player lands.

The Rocket Barrel also appears in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and its Nintendo Switch port. It is mostly the same as in Donkey Kong Country Returns but can take up to two hits before exploding (three in the Nintendo Switch port's Funky Mode), which can once again be further extended by means of the returning Crash Guard. Likewise, the player can collect Hearts on the way to restore part of the vehicle's hit points. In Hard Mode, the Rocket Barrel explodes from taking one hit, just like in Donkey Kong Country Returns.

"Mine Menace" is once again utilized as the main music track in the Rocket Barrel stages, but this time the theme's instrument composition varies between each level.

Donkey Kong Country television series[edit]

The Donkey Kong Country television series also features a rocket-like barrel referred to as the Barrel Rocket. In the episode "Barrel, Barrel... Who's Got the Barrel", it is used by Bluster Barrelworks to deliver barrels. In the later episode "To the Moon Baboon", the Rocket Barrel is used to transport several items to the moon as a time capsule.

Donkey Kong Barrel Blast[edit]

In Donkey Kong Barrel Blast, a fleet of Rocket Barrels appear in the background in Cosmic Highway, where they attempt to fire homing missiles at the racers and slow them. The Rocket Barrels cannot be destroyed. During one section of the course, the racers enter a giant Rocket Barrel through one side and exit the other.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie[edit]

In The Super Mario Bros. Movie, a pair of Rocket Barrels, retaining their design from Donkey Kong Country Returns and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (with the addition of a stylized depiction of Donkey Kong's face charred on the sides), appear as part of Donkey Kong's kart. Donkey Kong uses one to destroy the Koopa General's kart on Rainbow Road, and Mario and Donkey Kong later use the other Rocket Barrel to escape from a Maw-Ray.
