As suggested by their name, ON/OFF Barrels act similar to light switches. They are either found on the ground or in mid-air. By default, every ON/OFF Barrel has the white text 'OFF' painted on them.

On & Off Barrels,[1][2] also known as ON/OFF Barrels[3] (or On/Off Barrels),[4] are a type of barrel in Donkey Kong Country that only appear in Loopy Lights.

As suggested by their name, On & Off Barrels act similar to light switches. They are either found on the ground or in mid-air. By default, every On & Off Barrel has the white text 'OFF' painted on them. If Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong touch an On & Off Barrel, all of them change to 'ON'. This causes the level to illuminate for a few seconds, allowing the Kongs to see the path and the enemies ahead. On & Off Barrels are similar to the Stop & Go Barrels from Stop & Go Station.

In the Game Boy Color remake, Loopy Lights is not as dark while the ON/OFF Barrels are turned off. In the Game Boy Advance remake, the level has a maroon tint while they are off, making it even less dark.

In Donkey Kong Land 2 during the level Glimmer's Galleon, there is a type of barrel similar to the ON/OFF Barrels. They have a small light bulb icon displayed on them, and when Diddy and Dixie touch one of these barrels, they temporarily brighten up the level.
