A Booster Barrel[1] is a type of Barrel Cannon that first appears in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and later in Donkey Kong Land III, in which it has the same purpose. It functions like a rocket by utilizing a flame booster below to transport Dixie and Kiddy Kong to a higher area. It has an up arrow painted on it (similar to that of an Arrow Barrel), indicating that it carries the Kongs upward. When a Booster Barrel is entered, the flame at the bottom of it grows slightly, and blasts the Kongs out upon reaching a predetermined location. The Kongs can slightly maneuver themselves either left or right, which is required to land on the ground. After blasting out the Kongs, the Booster Barrel slowly descends back to its original position. Booster Barrels most often appear in waterfall levels, such as Rocket Barrel Ride, as such stages usually require the Kongs to ascend vertically to the top of the waterfalls.
Booster Barrels also appear in DK: King of Swing and DK: Jungle Climber. In both games, they function somewhat differently than in their original appearance, because the Kongs are capable of steering the barrel itself while using it. Booster Barrels also expel a blue flame rather than an orange one.
