In their original appearance, ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'', Barrels were used as such by the titular [[Donkey Kong]] against [[Mario]], with the mechanic returning in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and subsequent games to aid Donkey Kong in defeating enemies. However, there are many exceptions from this mechanic, since in some games, barrels function as platforms or as simple item containers. Their physical appearance might change slightly between appearances, such as the number of hoops rimming the barrels, their tints and coloration, and their size. | |||

Barrels in ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'' are obstacles encountered only in the first level, [[25m]]. The first obstacle faced by [[Mario]] is a blue barrel thrown by [[Donkey Kong]]. When blue barrels roll into the [[oil drum]], they spawn [[Fireball (Donkey Kong)|Fireballs]]. If there are five Fireballs onscreen at the same time, Donkey Kong stops rolling blue barrels, and any remaining blue barrels do not create a Fireball unless Mario thins their number. Donkey Kong mostly rolls brown barrels at Mario which he can then [[jump]] over. By jumping over a barrel, Mario is granted 100 points. However, barrels can sometimes roll down [[ladder]]s. Occasionally, Donkey Kong throws a brown barrel directly at Mario which goes through several [[girder]]s. The very first blue barrel is also thrown like this but no other blue barrel behaves in this manner. By using a [[hammer]], he can smash the barrels, awarding him 300 points for brown ones. Smashing blue barrels gives a random score of either 300, 500, or 800 points. If Mario comes in contact with a barrel, he loses a life. | |||

Barrels in the [[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Game Boy version]] are nearly an exact imitation of their appearance in the original arcade game, meaning that barrels appear once again in the 25m stage. When Mario jumps over one, he is awarded 100 points, just like in the original game. Nevertheless, the player only earns 300 points upon destroying a barrel with a hammer, unlike in the arcade ''Donkey Kong''. Later in the game, Donkey Kong still uses barrels as attacks occasionally. When a rolling barrel encounters an edge and falls down to the platform underneath, Mario needs to perform a [[handstand]] right under the falling barrel and stop it with his feet. The barrel then lands upright, and it can be picked up so Mario can throw the barrel back at Donkey Kong in order to damage him. This is the only game where barrels can actually crush Mario, via falling on him or running him over. | |||

Their source is not seen, but they always fall from a certain height onto the ground before they start rolling. [[Mario]] cannot destroy Tarusars with a [[stomp]] or fireballs, but he can use a [[Hammer|Hummer]] to destroy them in World 3-4. They can also be beaten by punching them from beneath a [[Brick Block|brick]]. | ||

Barrels in ''[[Wario Land 3]]'' have a small, keg-like shape and can be carried by [[Wario]]. They are functionally similar to [[Ice Block|ice block]]s from ''Wario Land II'' in that they can be picked up and hurled at enemies or blocks to destroy them. Barrels break instantly when they are thrown to the ground or if attacked with a [[Ground Pound|Smash Attack]] or a shoulder charge. However, they respawn in their default location after Wario goes off-screen from where a barrel initially appears and returns to that position after that. In addition, barrels can be stood on, serving as platforms. Barrels appear in [[Desert Ruins]], [[The Volcano's Base]], [[The West Crater]], [[The Grasslands]], [[The Big Bridge]], [[The Warped Void]], and [[The East Crater]]. | |||

''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' introduces several types of barrels that the [[Kong]]s can use to attack enemies. Regular barrels appear frequently in many levels throughout the game and can be picked up and carried by pressing the {{button|snes|Y}} button on the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] controller while the playable character is in front of the barrel. Donkey Kong lifts the barrel above his head, while [[Diddy Kong]] carries it in front of his body. The barrel can then be tossed by releasing the {{button|snes|Y}} button, after which it rolls on the ground ahead until it hits a wall or goes off-camera. Barrels can also phase through enemies and defeat them, although touching an enemy with a barrel while carrying it will result in the barrel breaking as well as the enemy being taken out. In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', barrels can break if they collide with an enemy while rolling. Regular barrels are needed to destroy tough or well-protected enemies, including [[Zinger]]s and [[Krusha]]s, and are sometimes needed to take down bosses, such as [[Queen B.]], [[Kreepy Krow]] or [[King K. Rool#Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!|Baron K. Roolenstein]]. During boss battles, there are specific methods of acquiring barrels: they can either spawn repeatedly without the player's input, appear after defeating a living [[Mini-Necky]], or fall from the ceiling after the player pulls some pipes. | ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' introduces several types of barrels that the [[Kong]]s can use to attack enemies.

Other enemies are shown to use barrels as well. As stated above, Manky Kongs use barrels from an unlimited supply as weapons and always toss them towards the Kongs. [[Kannon]]s from ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' shoot barrels that can be destroyed with a jump attack or by hitting a wall. [[Klobber]]s, also from ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', hide inside barrels that look identical to normal barrels. When the Kongs approach the barrel, the Klobber inside will start ramming into them. If they are stomped on the head, the barrel can be carried around and thrown like a normal barrel. In ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', very similar foes called [[Knocka]]s use barrels in the same manner, only that now these are painted green with a grin. [[Belcha]], the first boss of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', is a large, animated barrel. It emits barrels from a hole that serves as a mouth. When these barrels are jumped on, they will break and yellow [[Knik-Knak]]s will come out. | Other enemies are shown to use barrels as well.

In some instances, barrels also act as platforms. This is shown in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' and ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', where they stay either aligned or stacked on top of each other on the ship deck levels, such as [[Gangplank Galley]] and [[Rattle Battle]]. They technically function as terrain not only for the players, but also for enemies and other objects. However, barrels that aren't just foreground elements, as the player and/or the environment can interact with them, are mainly featured in ''Donkey Kong Country 3''. [[Ellie the Elephant]] is able to suck up and transport barrels with her trunk, and then throw them in the water; if done correctly, the barrels come to the surface of the river, and thus Ellie can use them as pseudo-bridges to pass the dangerous water guarded by [[Nibbla]]s. This can be seen in [[Bobbing Barrel Brawl]]. In the stage [[Barrel Drop Bounce]], many barrels fall down the waterfall here. The cause of their appearance is not shown, but they break upon hitting ground. While they are still falling, the Kongs can hop on them and quickly jump again on solid platforms; rows of barrels dropping down can also be encountered and stepped on in order to reach further platforms. | In some instances, barrels also act as platforms.

Barrels in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Rumble in the Jungle]]'' are used by the novel's characters on several occasions. Before the [[Kong]]s leave their [[DK's Tree House|treehouse]] to travel to [[Big Ape City]], [[Donkey Kong]] fills his backpack with "miniature barrels", including some that "could even explode" (referring to [[TNT Barrel|TNT barrels]]). In [[Tree Top Town]], the [[Kremling]]s use barrel cannons from high up in the trees, which fire "dangerous barrels". The Kongs overcome them by slinging TNT Barrels at them using a tree branch. After rescuing [[Funky Kong]] from his prison cell in Big Ape City's factory, Donkey Kong hands Funky and Diddy Kong some barrels to use against a group of Kremlings. Diddy manages to hang from the ceiling, and drop barrels from above. | |||
Later, Donkey Kong tricks Krusha into thinking that he has a list of the locations of all the Kongs on [[Donkey Kong Island]] within his backpack. Krusha allows Donkey Kong to reach into his backpack for the list, but he pulls out a barrel instead and uses it to knock Krusha out. Within the Kremling's supply room, Diddy Kong lodges a barrel in the jaws of [[Klaptrap|Klap Trap]], which allows time for Diddy to retrieve a spare [[Jumbo Barrel|plane]] part for Funky Kong. Within [[King K. Rool]]'s zeppelin, Donkey Kong and Diddy confront several Kremling guards with "double jumps, cartwheel attacks, and barrels left and right". They later plant time-delayed TNT barrels throughout the zeppelin, causing it to fall on to the Kremling's factory and explode. | Later, Donkey Kong tricks Krusha into thinking that he has a list of the locations of all the Kongs on [[Donkey Kong Island]] within his backpack.

Barrels in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' are grouped into piles in the [[Sunken Ship]], usually functioning as stairs for Mario to reach a higher floor. Later in the game, one of the puzzles hosted by [[Dr. Topper]] inside [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]] has the player guess how many barrels are stacked up in a large heap seen from the usual in-game perspective. In another area of Bowser's Keep, Mario confronts a [[Chained Kong]] that stands atop a high place in a lofty room and hurls barrels down several stairs. The barrels push Mario down the stairs if they hit him, making him lose some [[coin]]s in the process. | |||

Barrels | Barrels in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series are container items in every installment. They contain one to four items and can roll along inclines, similarly to [[crate]]s. They also sometimes explode when broken. Starting with ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', barrels have three different appearances, being either wooden, futuristic and made of stone, or wrapped like a present, with the one used depending on the [[stage]] in which they appear; they all function identically, however. | ||
In their [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] descriptions throughout the series, Barrels are associated with the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, not the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. This distinction is further present from the ''Super Smash Bros.'' logo on top of the barrel. | |||
===''Donkey Kong 64''=== | ===''Donkey Kong 64''=== | ||
Barrels in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' have a few purposes. One of them is being a design patterns for many constructions, such as [[Cranky's Lab]] and the slot machine of the [[Batty Barrel Bandit!]]. Barrels are still worn by [[Klobber]]s, which return as enemies. Although a Barrel is in the main menu, being lifted by Donkey Kong while he waits for the player to select an option, Barrels are seldomly used as objects during the main game itself. Barrels are first used in one of [[Cranky Kong]]'s training minigames, then much later on in Diddy Kong's igloo from [[Crystal Caves]], and lastly by [[Lanky Kong]] in the final boss fight against [[King K. Rool]]. The barrels in the boss fight each depict a small banana peel on the side and must be thrown by Lanky onto the ground to reveal a large banana peel, which Lanky can trick K. Rool into running on by playing [[Trombone Tremor]], depending on where K. Rool is at. Least notably, relatively big barrels serve only for decorative purposes inside the main sunken ship of [[Gloomy Galleon]] and inside the barn with the club-wielding [[Kosha]] in [[Fungi Forest]]. | |||
Barrels can be picked up by pressing {{button|n64|b}} on the [[nwiki:Nintendo 64 Controller|Nintendo 64 Controller]] and thrown by pressing the same button again, upon which the barrel rolls continuously until hitting a wall. | |||

In ''[[Mario Party 2]]'' are used to hide items in a {{wp|shell game}}, [[Roll Out the Barrels]]. A Barrel in ''[[Mario Party 3]]'' is the object that the solo player is stuck inside of during the minigame [[Coconut Conk]], and if they are hit by a [[coconut]] dropped by one of the other three characters, they lose. Barrels in ''[[Mario Party 5]]'' have to be punched by players to collect bananas during the [[Banana Punch]] minigame. Barrels in ''[[Mario Party 6]]'' are among the objects drawn toward a giant [[Blooper]] by a [[whirlpool]] in the minigame [[Blooper Scooper]], and will break from crashing into the Blooper or the players; if a player is hit by a barrel, they will be knocked towards the Blooper. A Barrel in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'' is worn by the playable character during the minigame [[Barrel Peril]], and they can hide inside the barrel to protect themself from [[Chain Chomp]]s guarding the area. Barrels in ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' are obstacles that roll down the slopes in the minigame [[Jump, Man]], slowing either the player or Donkey Kong if they are hit. Barrels in ''[[Mario Party 8]]'' appear in the minigame [[Blazing Lassos]], where the player must lasso barrels with point values marked on each one while spinning on a wheel. Barrels in ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'' appear only in the returning minigame, Jump, Man, and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'' similarly only includes Barrels in two returning minigames: Roll Out the Barrels from ''Mario Party 2'' and Coconut Conk from ''Mario Party 3''. | ||

Barrels in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and its [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|remake]] have a few minor roles. They are part of [[Bink]]'s [[Barrel (minigame)|identically named minigame]], where the player has to arrange rows of barrels of the same color. In several locations, such as [[Chucklehuck Woods]] and [[Woohoo Hooniversity]], there are barrels that [[Luigi]] can enter from underneath to solve puzzles. In the latter location, there is a segment where [[Mario]] has to jump over rolling barrels in a similar manner to the original ''Donkey Kong'' game. In [[Bowser's Castle#Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga / Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|Bowser's Castle]], Luigi is trapped inside a barrel by [[Larry Koopa|Larry]], and must bounce a fireball back at Larry a number of times before he can continue. | |||

====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''==== | ====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''==== | ||
Barrels in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'' appear only in battles. They are dropped by [[Bowser Jr.]] and [[Paper Bowser Jr.]] at the trio, forcing the brothers to run while the bosses shoot fireballs at them. Barrels are also utilized by [[Broozer]]s and [[Paper Broozer]]s to attack, by dropping a barrel in front of themselves and ramming it into the trio, and the resulting effect depends on which type of barrel was hit by which type of Broozer. | |||

Barrels in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'' are relatively common objects, especially in [[Donkey Kong Jungle (world)|Donkey Kong Jungle]], that be picked up and thrown by Mario, like in the Game Boy remake of ''Donkey Kong''. A barrel can be carried by Mario to any accessible place and either tossed at enemies, or placed as a platform for Mario to reach higher places. Barrels can similarly be placed on [[Spike Trap|spikes]] to get across them. The only boss battles where Donkey Kong uses barrels against Mario are [[Level 3-DK]], [[Level 3-DK+]], and [[Donkey Kong Plus]], the final battle. Barrels thrown by Donkey Kong can be deflected with a [[handstand]] and then used as normal. A giant barrel is brought by the three [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s in the the [[Donkey Kong (level)|Donkey Kong boss level]] to knock Donkey Kong down a floor with each hit. There is also a variant that only appears in the final battle (and, in the [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|remake]], in the [[Merry Mini-Land]] and [[Slippery Summit]] fights against Donkey Kong) that has spikes covering it, hurting Mario on contact regardless of whether it was blocked with a handstand or not. | |||
====''Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis''==== | ====''Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis''==== | ||
Barrels in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'' are obstacles that fall from above, amongst other debris, when Donkey Kong shakes the screen in the boss level of [[Mushroom Mayhem]]. A barrel can destroy a Mini on contact. | |||
====''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!''==== | ====''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!''==== | ||
Barrels | Barrels in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!]]'' are obstacles functionally identical to the previous game. They appear in [[Floor G Donkey Kong]], which plays out almost identically to the Mushroom Mayhem boss battle from ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis''. | ||
====''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!''==== | ====''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!''==== | ||
Barrels in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!]]'' are frequently used by Donkey Kong in his battles to attack the [[Mini]]s, where he often slams his fists on the ground, causing a barrel to drop from the pile. Like before, a barrel can destroy a Mini upon contact. However, barrels break when they reach the ground or any other platform. Shortly after a barrel is used, another one spawns in its place. | |||

Notice the barrel at the upper left of the screen, which already contains 66 bananas.]] | ||
Barrels in ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'' are used to transport [[Donkey Kong]] to different kingdoms. These barrels all have a letter in front of them, with each letter spelling out the initials of ''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat''. The D Barrel links to the [[Banana Kingdom]], [[Orange Kingdom]], [[Watermelon Kingdom]], and [[Apple Kingdom]]. The K Barrel warps the player to the [[Strawberry Kingdom]], [[Pineapple Kingdom]], [[Lemon Kingdom]], and [[Grape Kingdom]]. The J Barrel goes to the [[Cherry Kingdom]], [[Peach Kingdom]], [[Melon Kingdom]], and [[Durian Kingdom]]. The B Barrel introduces the player into the [[Pear Kingdom]], [[Lychee Kingdom]], [[Chili Pepper Kingdom]], and [[Star Fruit Kingdom]]. Completing all the kingdoms in each barrel allows Donkey Kong access to the next barrel. | |||
A large barrel is also the heads-up display at the upper left corner of the screen, displaying the number of [[banana]]s that Donkey Kong has collected in the level he is currently in. This very barrel is used by Donkey Kong to transport the bananas. | |||
===''DK'' | ===''DK: King of Swing'' / ''DK: Jungle Climber''=== | ||
Barrels in ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'' and ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]'' are merely harmless obstacles appearing in most levels, and can be broken if the player charges into them. Upon destruction, they reveal bonuses, such as [[banana]]s and [[DK Coin|medals]]. Before getting destroyed, barrels can be stood on, just like on ground. In ''DK: King of Swing'' only, the player can store the first 50 bananas collected throughout the game inside a barrel, which is shown on the bottom right corner of the screen as an icon. The bananas can be consumed by the Kong to gain invincibility, and if the player has less than fifty bananas left afterwards, the barrel disappears and make room for four or less bunches of ten bananas. | |||

[[File:BarrelBatters.png|thumb|[[Barrel Batter]]]] | [[File:BarrelBatters.png|thumb|Barrels are the focus of the minigame [[Barrel Batter]] in ''Mario Superstar Baseball'']] | ||
Barrels in both games of the [[Mario Baseball (series)|''Mario Baseball'' series]], ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' and ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', appear mainly in a stadium that represents a homage to the ''Donkey Kong'' games: [[Donkey Kong Jungle (baseball stadium)|Donkey Kong Jungle]] and [[DK Jungle (baseball stadium)|DK Jungle]] respectively. Both feature [[Barrel Cannon]]s out of their bounds, which shoot large barrels. These roll on the stadiums' fields and hinder the baseball players from getting the ball if they stand before them. Barrels roll continuously until they slam into a wall, in which case they crumble and despawn. | |||
In the ''Mario Superstar Baseball'' version of the stadium, a minigame called [[Barrel Batter]] takes place. In this minigame, the batter has to launch the ball with his bat into rows of colored barrels that stay right in the front of the player. The more barrels of the same color hit consequently, the more points the player gains. | In the ''Mario Superstar Baseball'' version of the stadium, a minigame called [[Barrel Batter]] takes place.

As projectiles, upon touching the ground, barrels will start rolling continuously in a direction until they crash into a wall or a [[Spike Ball|spiked ball]], and can be used to attack enemies or even other players. Barrels in {{world-link|7|ghosthouse|World 7-Ghost House (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}} can be punched by [[Broozer]]s to start rolling toward the player. | ||

[[File:Barrel SMO.jpg|thumb|Mario encountering Barrels in ''Super Mario Odyssey'']] | [[File:Barrel SMO.jpg|thumb|Mario encountering Barrels in ''Super Mario Odyssey'']] | ||
Barrels in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' are encountered as obstacles in 8-bit segments of [[Metro Kingdom]] and the [[Darker Side]], taking on their sprite design from ''Donkey Kong''. Most of the time, they come out of [[Girder]]s and roll on the ground until they fall into an [[oil drum]]. Donkey Kong also throws barrels just like in the original arcade game. Mario must jump over barrels to dodge them, otherwise he loses one wedge of his health meter. Stationary, harmless barrels appear as platforms in some areas of the Metro Kingdom and the [[Seaside Kingdom]], outside the 8-bit sections, and while they cannot be destroyed, hitting one with [[Cappy]] or with a [[Ground Pound]] grants one [[coin]]. | |||
===''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast''=== | ===''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast''=== | ||
Barrels in ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'' appear as obstacles. If a character flies into a barrel, they will break it and severely decelerate. They can be avoided by jumping over them. Characters can also charge into them with a [[Wild Move]] and destroy them successfully without slowing down; breaking a barrel this way awards the player five [[banana]]s. A while after a barrel gets destroyed, another one spawns in its place. Along with normal barrels, [[Iron Barrel]]s can be found throughout the courses. | |||

Barrels in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' appear as rare [[sticker]]s, two of which may appear if the player defeats the [[Broozer]]s on [[Bowser Jr.'s Flotilla]]. During any battle, the barrel sticker provides an actual wooden barrel, which Mario can use to defeat a single enemy, with an attack power of three to five points. The Barrel may also be placed into the [[Sticker Museum]] as #90, alongside other enemy-based stickers. | |||

Barrels in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'' are environmental objects that can broken from Mario's [[hammer]] to release paint, similarly to [[crate]]s. Barrels appear in areas such as [[Port Prisma]]. Bigger, unbreakable barrels also appear. The [[Wringer]]'s takes place inside of a horizontal barrel. | |||
====''Paper Mario: The Origami King''==== | ====''Paper Mario: The Origami King''==== | ||
Barrels in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'' are objects that can be broken by Mario's hammer, like in the previous game. Barrels now usually contain coins or [[confetti]], but they occasionally trap Toads needing to be rescued. There is a Toad trapped inside a large barrel on [[Spade Island]]. Mario must locate the four other Toads on the island, who wedge themselves into the barrel to burst it open, freeing their friend. | |||

Barrels in ''[[NES Remix]]'' and ''[[Ultimate NES Remix]]'' are obstacles in many challenges taking place in [[25m]] of ''Donkey Kong'', and most of these challenges require the hero to jump over one or even more rolling barrels at once, or to jump over a set number of them. Like in ''Donkey Kong'', 100 points are earned once Mario jumps over a barrel. | |||

Barrels in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'' appear as stage objects, starting from [[World 11 (Dr. Mario World)|World 11]]. A barrel takes up to two hits to be destroyed such as making a [[capsule]] match next to it, which can be indicated by how it looks like: one that is intact takes two hits to destroy, while one that reveals the contents inside it will require only one hit. Some barrels may not contain anything. The objects within the barrel will not react to anything else such as capsules until it is completely destroyed. [[Lemmy Koopa|Dr. Lemmy]]'s skill involves barrels where in stage mode it can destroy not only the barrels themselves but the contents within it, while in versus mode it involves encasing a number of viruses on the opponent's field in barrels. | |||
