| | The '''Slot Machine Barrel'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' instruction booklet, page 18 (North American version), page 23 (PAL version)</ref> is a special type of [[Barrel]] that appears in the games ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' for the [[Wii]], its [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] port ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', and the [[Wii U]] sequel ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. This barrel is found in every level of the game (except for the bosses and the hidden Key Temples), and [[Donkey Kong]] and his partner [[Diddy Kong]] must find it to clear the level. The most prominent feature of this barrel is that if the [[Kong]]s find one and hit it, they receive a prize from the Barrel. The prize can be a [[Banana|Banana Bunch]], a [[Banana Coin]], or a [[Life Balloon]], which are shown on a roulette on the front of the Slot Machine Barrel. |

| '''Slot Machine Barrels'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' instruction booklet, page 18 (North American version), page 23 (PAL version)</ref> are a unique type of [[barrel]] that appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', and ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' (and [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|its Nintendo Switch port]]). They have the same purpose as [[End of Level Target]]s and [[Level Flag]]s from earlier ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' titles, even giant fruits from ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'', in that they represent the ends of all [[level]]s (except boss levels and Key Temples). | |
| | |
| At first, a Slot Machine Barrel is idle and displays a yellow star on a red background. When the [[Kong]]s go near a Slot Machine Barrel, the roulette in its center begins to spin between prizes. They include a [[banana]] (which represents five), a [[Red Balloon]], a [[Banana Coin]], and a DK symbol. By hitting the barrel, the Kongs win the displayed prize, and the level ends. Unlike with End of Level Targets, the prizes for Slot Machine Barrels are consistent in every level.
| |
| | |
| If the Kongs hit a Slot Machine Barrel just as it displays the DK logo, the player can shake the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] (and [[Wii#Nunchuk|Nunchuk]], depending on play mode) in ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' or press {{button|3ds|X}}/{{button|3ds|Y}} or {{button|3ds|L}}/{{button|3ds|R}} (depending on the control scheme) in ''Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D'' to hit the Slot Machine Barrel several times until it breaks. The number of hits given to the barrel provides the same number of a random prize to the Kongs. The count does not exceed 15, even if the Slot Machine Barrel is hit more than 15 times.

|
| In the [[Donkey Kong Country Returns#Time Attack|Time Attack]] mode, a Slot Machine Barrel displays a checkered flag. By hitting the barrel, [[Professor Chops]] waves the checkered flag to stop the timer, and the Kongs finish the level. In ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'', the Slot Machine Barrel of the [[Golden Temple]] displays a Mirror Trophy. When the Kongs hit that Slot Machine Barrel, the player unlocks Mirror Mode.

| | The roulette also shows the DK logo. If either Kong hits the barrel with the picture of the logo, he is able to hit it several times before breaking it by shaking both the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] and the [[Wii#Nunchuk|Nunchuk]], or the Wii Remote alone when using the Wii Remote (horizontal) control scheme. The number of hits given to the barrel multiplies the prize given that can be any of the aforementioned objects. However, the multiplier does not exceed x15, even if he hits the barrel more than 15 times. A distinctive sound can be heard once the Kongs find a Slot Machine Barrel and appears on the screen. |

|
| In ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'', some levels contain more than one Slot Machine Barrel. These additional barrels mark a secret exit, much like [[Goal Pole (secret)|secret Goal Pole]]s from the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' subseries, and they unlock a hidden, alternate path on the [[world]] map.
| | The Slot Machine Barrel also has a checkered flag for [[Donkey Kong Country Returns#Time Attack|Time Attack]] mode. If the Kongs hit that, then [[Professor Chops]] will wave the checkered flag to stop the timer in addition to finishing the level. The Slot Machine Barrel also has a Mirror Trophy for finishing the [[Golden Temple]]. If the Kongs hit that, then Mirror Mode is unlocked for them to play. |

| *The jingle that plays just before the barrel spins is the same sound effect that plays when a [[Gōrumondo]] or [[Mini Panda]] is defeated in ''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat''. | | *The jingle that plays before roulette is similar to the jingles from ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'', which is played when [[Garigari]] get beaten by [[Donkey Kong]]. |
