Slot Machine Barrel

Slot Machine Barrels are special Barrels found at the end of each level in Donkey Kong Country Returns and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. They are used in the same fashion as End of Level Targets and Level Flags. The Slot Machine Barrel shows a yellow star when idle, but shows numerous prizes on its display once the Kongs get close: a banana (which represents a bunch of five), a Red Balloon, a Banana Coin, and a DK symbol. Colliding with the barrel will end the level and give the player the prize shown at the time. If the DK symbol is earned, the player can attack the barrel with the pound/roll command for up to 15 hits, which then grants that number of one of the three items (selected at random, with banana bunches being the most common and Red Balloons being rather rare).
