In ''Donkey Kong Country'', Fuel Barrels make their first appearance in [[Tanked Up Trouble]]. There, they are used to fuel up a small platform, which is used throughout the whole level to guide the [[Kong]]s to the level's end. The barrels do not appear often in the level, though, so grabbing them when they appear is vital. A simple touch of the barrels can slightly fill up the platform's tank for a limited amount of time, though some Fuel Barrels barely fill up the tank at all. The amount of fuel given by a barrel is indicated on the drum with red dots.

In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', they are only found in [[Rocket Rush]]. There, they are mostly unchanged, although they are a dark blue color instead of black. During gameplay, the barrels must be gathered to fuel up a special kind of [[Rocket Barrel]], which [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] ride in through much of the level. The Fuel Barrels are usually found in plain sight and fill up more fuel than in ''Donkey Kong Country''. However, they rarely appear, so saving fuel is very important during the level.

A Fuel Barrel[1] is an uncommon barrel found in Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!

History

Donkey Kong Country

In Donkey Kong Country, Fuel Barrels only appear in Tanked Up Trouble. They have a critical role of fueling a platform that Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong use throughout the level. The Kongs must quickly jump at every Fuel Barrel they encounter, as the platform's energy drains quickly.

The amount of fuel in the platform is measured in five gauges. Each Fuel Barrel has some red dots indicating how many of the gauges they can refill and, in turn, their usefulness to the Kongs. From a scale from lowest to highest, one red dot fills one gauge while five red dots refill all five gauges.

Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!

Fuel Drum

In Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, Fuel Barrels only appear in Rocket Rush, and they were redesigned to have a blue paint. Fuel Barrels have as much of a critical role as in Donkey Kong Country, as the Kongs must run into the Fuel Barrels to keep the Rocket Barrel afloat. Fuel Barrels do not often appear in the level, and therefore the Kongs must be cautious to not release too much exhaust fuel.
