A Fuel Drum[1] (or fuel drum),[2] also known as a Fuel Canister[3] (or fuel canister)[4] and Fuel Barrel,[1] are objects in the Donkey Kong Country series. They were introduced in Donkey Kong Country. These barrels refill the fuel supply of a specific vehicle, varying by game.
History[edit]
Donkey Kong Country[edit]
Fuel Canisters are objects in Donkey Kong Country. They appear only in Tanked Up Trouble. Fuel Canisters refill a number of gauges on a platform used by Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, that number matching the number of red dots on the Fuel Drum. Collecting nearly every Fuel Canister is required because the platform runs out of energy quickly. Fuel Canisters can depict either one, three, or five red dots. There are Fuel Canisters with two dots and four dots existing in the game's graphic data,[5] but they go unused.
Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble![edit]
Fuel Drums are objects in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!. They appear only in Rocket Rush, where they are usable for the Rocket Barrel. Fuel Drums are depicted with a blue paint. They do not appear as commonly as in Donkey Kong Country.
