The '''Tracker Barrel''' is a type of [[Barrel]] that appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. This special barrel allows the members of the [[Kong Family]] to cross large horizontal gaps. When jumped into, the Tracker Barrel will shoot the [[Kong]]s straight up in the air, then follow the heroes left or right during their descent. As such, the Kongs will simply fall back into the barrel, and then be shot back up in the air again. This process will continue until the heroes reach land or another Tracker Barrel. Tracker Barrels always moves horizontally, and never changes altitude. Tracker Barrels are typically found in waterfall [[level]]s, as these types of levels are often plagued by large horizontal gaps. In fact, the Tracker Barrel is the main feature of the waterfall level [[Tracker Barrel Trek]].
