During gameplay in Button Barrel Blast, these special, but rare, barrels can be used to cross large gaps. The barrels, used in a similar manner to [[Barrel Cannon]]s, usually aim off-track, so the [[Kong]]s have to use nearby buttons to move them. Each time the button is hit, the large barrel will turn slightly to the right or left. When the Button Barrel aims at the correct target, the two heroes can jump inside of it and fire into the air.
In Button Barrel Blast, these barrels are used to cross large gaps, much like [[Barrel Cannon]]s, but they usually aim off-track. As a result, [[Donkey Kong]] or [[Diddy Kong]] must usually use a corresponding button to change the direction of the Button Barrel.

In Bonus Levels, the Button Barrels move around the area both quickly and automatically. A button is used in conjunction with the Button Barrel, although it is now used to shoot [[Kong Token]]s out from it. Each token rewards the Kongs with an [[extra life]].

Donkey Kong near a Button Barrel

A Button Barrel is a device found in Donkey Kong Land. They only appear in the level Button Barrel Blast and some Bonus Levels.

In Button Barrel Blast, these barrels are used to cross large gaps, much like Barrel Cannons, but they usually aim off-track. As a result, Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong must usually use a corresponding button to change the direction of the Button Barrel. Each time the Kongs jump on a button, the Button Barrel turns slightly to the right or left. After orienting the Button Barrel in the desired direction, the active Kong can jump inside to blast in that direction.

In Bonus Levels, the Button Barrels move around the area both quickly and automatically. A button is used in conjunction with the Button Barrel, although it is now used to shoot Kong Tokens out from it. Each token rewards the Kongs with an extra life.
