In most games, a TNT Barrel resembles a regular barrel, though it can be identified from its fuse and the abbreviation "{{wp|TNT}}" painted in white on the front. | ||
Just like other barrels, the [[Kong]]s can pick up a TNT Barrel and throw it. Upon hitting an enemy, the ground, or a wall, the TNT Barrel explodes. The fiery explosion of a TNT Barrel defeats every enemy caught within the blast radius. TNT Barrels can defeat most enemies which the Kongs cannot defeat, most often being [[Zinger]]s; TNT Barrels are also the only way to defeat red Zingers. Many [[Bonus Level]]s can only be entered by using a TNT Barrel. | |||

A TNT Drum appears for the first time in the opening scene of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. [[Cranky Kong]] uses it to wreck Donkey Kong's boom box, as retaliation for [[Donkey Kong]] knocking him out of the trees and ruining his phonograph. During gameplay, TNT Drums can be lifted, then tossed on the ground or a wall to explode, defeating any enemy standing in its explosion range | A TNT Drum appears for the first time in the opening scene of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''.

During gameplay, TNT Drums can be lifted, then tossed on the ground or a wall to explode, defeating any enemy standing in its explosion range. They can also be utilized this way in the sequels, as well as in the ''[[Donkey Kong Land (series)|Donkey Kong Land]]'' games. In both the ''Donkey Kong Land'' series and [[Game Boy Color]] version of ''Donkey Kong Country'', TNT Barrels have a smaller blast radius. | ||
The Kongs do not get injured by running through a TNT Barrel's blast after they throw it. Contrarily, in ''Donkey Kong Country'', if the Kongs lift a TNT Drum and then put it down, it shakes and then immediately explodes, causing the player to lose a Kong. | |||
In ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'', there is another type of explosive barrel, which appears in a few levels. They have a one-time use to blow up a boulder on the world map. | |||
Some Kremling enemies hide in TNT Barrels and act as suicide bombers, sacrificing themselves in an attempt to destroy the Kongs. These include [[Kaboom]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', as well as [[Kracka]]s and [[Klasp]]s found in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. Other Kremlings, namely [[Bazuka]]s, may shoot TNT Barrels out of their cannons, and the Kongs would have to avoid them. | Some Kremling enemies hide in TNT Barrels and act as suicide bombers, sacrificing themselves in an attempt to destroy the Kongs.

In ''Donkey Kong 64'', TNT Barrels are red and considerably smaller in size. Their main use in the game is to attack the bosses, [[Army Dillo]] and [[Dogadon]]. Kabooms from ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' – here called "TNT Bombers" – return in this game, hiding inside TNT Barrels with no fuses. | |||

TNT Barrels also appear in ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]''. They can be used to destroy dense objects around them, and will explode if attacked. | |||

In ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Rumble in the Jungle]]'', miniature TNT Barrels (stylized as '''mini-TNT Barrels''') are used by [[Donkey Kong]] on several occasions throughout the novel. Before the [[Kong]]s leave their [[DK's Tree House|treehouse]] to travel to [[Big Ape City]], Donkey Kong takes a backpack full of miniature barrels, including some that "could even explode". TNT Barrels are first used while the Kongs are battling some [[Kremling]]s and their barrel cannons in [[Tree Top Town]]. Donkey Kong launches several TNT Barrels by slinging back a tree branch, allowing the barrels to reach high above in the tree tops. Donkey Kong later uses one to break open [[Funky Kong]]'s prison door within the Kremling's factory in Big Ape City, although the sound of the explosion attracts [[Kritter]] and a group of Kremlings. | In ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Rumble in the Jungle]]'', miniature TNT Barrels (stylized as '''mini-TNT Barrels''') are used by [[Donkey Kong]] on several occasions throughout the novel.

An illustration shows that the TNT Barrels resembles their artwork for ''Donkey Kong Country'', although lacking a fuse at the top. And despite the novel claiming to describe "miniature" TNT Barrels, their illustrated size in proportion to the prison door appears to be closer to a regular-sized [[barrel]]. | An illustration shows that the TNT Barrels resembles their artwork for ''Donkey Kong Country'', although lacking a fuse at the top.
