Editing Biplane Barrel

The '''Biplane Barrel'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet, [[Media:DKC2 Manual 18-19.jpg|page 18]].</ref> is a special biplane-shaped [[barrel]] that is owned by [[Funky Kong]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. It serves as the replacement for the original [[Jumbo Barrel]] from the first ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] [[reissue|remake]] of ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', the Biplane Barrel was replaced with the [[Gyrocopter]].

If Diddy or [[Dixie Kong]] visit [[Funky's Flights II]], Funky allows them to use the Biplane Barrel to travel to another world via the [[Crocodile Isle]] map, as long as they have already visited it. The only exception is the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Lost World]], which can only be accessed through [[Klubba's Kiosk]]. At first, for each world, usage of the Biplane Barrel costs two [[Banana Coin|Banana Bunch Coin]]s, but all consecutive uses within that world is free.

 

Like the Jumbo Barrel, the Biplane Barrel is capable of moving the Kongs between locations on the world map faster than when they are on foot. The Funky's Flights II theme continues to play on the world map while the Kongs are using the Biplane Barrel. The only other way of returning to the Crocodile Isle map is by defeating a boss, which is a less safe alternative.

 

In the Game Boy Advance version, unlike the original version, the Kongs no longer visit Funky's Flights II to use the Gyrocopter. This is because after completing [[Aerial Loop]], the player can select the Gyrocopter from the world map's {{button|gba|Start}} menu whenever they decide to.
