In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' a Rocket Barrel is used throughout the final level, [[Rocket Rush (level)|Rocket Rush]]. Here, [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] must use the Rocket Barrel to slowly descend the cliffside. The Rocket Barrel runs on limited fuel, and a meter is displayed on the right side of the screen show the amount of fuel remaining.

Here, [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] must use the Rocket Barrel to slowly descend the cliffside. The Rocket Barrel runs on limited fuel, and a meter is displayed on the right side of the screen show the amount of fuel remaining. The fuel supply can only be replenished by [[Fuel Barrel]]s. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, the fuel meter was expanded and made more visible: the red represents how much fuel was used while green represents the amount remaining. | ||
The Rocket Barrel slowly descends in the level, and the Kongs can move the Rocket Barrel either left or right, and the player can press {{button|snes|A}} (or defeat a Buzz with the exhaust) to release exhaust fuel from the Rocket Barrel, though doing so causes it to run out of fuel faster. Midway during the level, the Kongs hit into an [[Ignition Barrel]], causing the Rocket Barrel to rapidly blast upward. During this part, the player must control the Rocket Barrel through the small gaps of the cliffside. If the Rocket Barrel hits into any of the walls, it runs out of fuel much faster. Dixie and Kiddy eventually reach the landing platform, where they get out of the Rocket Barrel and finish the level. | The Rocket Barrel slowly descends in the level, and the Kongs can move the Rocket Barrel either left or right, and the player can press {{button|snes|A}} (or defeat a Buzz with the exhaust) to release exhaust fuel from the Rocket Barrel, though doing so causes it to run out of fuel faster.

Initially, the Rocket Barrel takes the shape of a [[Barrel Cannon]], waiting in place for the Kongs to drop inside it. The player has to repeatedly press the {{button|wii|A}} button to power it up, after which it launches and brings the Kongs outward, gaining a rocket-like pointy top. | ||
In side-scrolling levels, the player can hold the {{button|wii|A}} button to rise up, and let go of {{button|wii|A}} to let the Rocket Barrel descend. Doing so is necessary to avoid obstacles and collect items. Like with the [[Mine Cart]], if the Kongs crash into something, the Rocket Barrel explodes, and the Kongs will instantly lose a life. In [[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D|the 3DS remake]], the Rocket Barrel can take an extra hit if Donkey Kong purchases and equips a [[Crash Guard]] from [[Cranky Kong's Shop]], though this extra hit will not respawn if he dies. | In side-scrolling levels, the player can hold the {{button|wii|A}} button to rise up, and let go of {{button|wii|A}} to let the Rocket Barrel descend.

When using the Wii Remote alone, the {{button|wii|2}} button is used to ascend. In vertical-scrolling levels, the player can use {{button|wii|Stick}} to move left or right, and repeatedly press the {{button|wii|A}} button to gain more speed. When using only the Wii Remote, {{button|wii|padleftright}} is used to move left or right, and the {{button|wii|2}} button is used to move faster. The Rocket Barrel usually appears in side-scrolling levels except for [[Lift-off Launch]] and the first part of [[Tiki Tong Terror]] prior to the final battle. There are two themes associated with the Rocket Barrel, titled "Mine Menace" and "Mole Patrol", which play in different levels. The latter has a variation, titled "Red Rockin'", which only plays in [[Tiki Tong Terror]]. | When using the Wii Remote alone, the {{button|wii|2}} button is used to ascend.
