Baboon Blast
A Barrel Cannon course, entered by using Baboon Blast.

Baboon Blast (Barrelum Perilous) is one of Donkey Kong's special moves in Donkey Kong 64. It allows for him reach a special Barrel Cannon course. This move can be purchased from Cranky's Lab for three Banana Bunch Coins starting in Jungle Japes.

To use this move, the player must press Z Button while Donkey Kong stands on a Cranky's Kong Pad depicting his head. This fires him up into the sky, and he ends up in a Barrel Cannon challenge. In it, Donkey Kong must blast through a series of Barrel Cannons and Blast Barrels until he reaches the end goal. This usually either triggers an event in the world or rewards him with a Golden Banana.

Baboon Blast is used once in each world except Hideout Helm. The Barrel Cannon challenges for Angry Aztec and Frantic Factory are the only ones required for a non-101% completion. Without completing the Angry Aztec challenge, the Kongs cannot enter the Llama's Temple and free Lanky Kong. Without completing the Frantic Factory challenge, the Kongs cannot play the Donkey Kong arcade machine and earn the Nintendo Coin.
