An Invincibility Barrel.

An Invincibility Barrel[1] (also called an Exclamation Point Barrel[2] and an Invincible Barrel[3]) is a rare type of Barrel that has appeared in the Donkey Kong Country series. These wooden barrels feature an exclamation mark, and instantly break when they are touched. Upon being broken, the barrel grants the Kongs temporary invincibility for a few seconds, similar to the effects of a Super Star from the Super Mario series. While invincible, the heroes are not only invulnerable, but can also defeat most enemies just by touching them. Invincibility Barrels appear infrequently throughout the games that feature them.

Invincibility Barrels first appear in Donkey Kong Country 2, and later in Donkey Kong Land 2. They also appear in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!.
