A '''Rotatable Barrel'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet, [[Media:DKC2 Manual 18-19.jpg|page 18]].</ref> (also called a '''Rotater Barrel''' in an issue of [[Nintendo Power]]<ref>Nintendo Power Vol. 79, [[Media:Nintendo Power79 17.jpg|page 17]]</ref>) is a type of [[Barrel]] that appears in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] and [[Game Boy Advance]], as well as in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'' for the original [[Game Boy]]. This kind of Barrel first appears in the level [[Barrel Bayou]]. Rotatable Barrels also appear in the sequel to ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''.

Rotatable Barrels are similar to the [[Auto-Fire Barrel]], although this type of Barrel can actually be rotated and fired in any direction. However, there is a limit (which is indicated by a number that sometimes appears on the Barrel) to how long the [[Kong]]s can stay in the Barrel. After this limit, the Kongs will be launched automatically. In ''Donkey Kong Land 2'' and ''Donkey Kong Land III'', these barrels allow the monkeys to stay in them for as long as they want, and they still have complete control of the barrel.

A Rotatable Barrel also makes a small appearance in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' on the [[Kongo Jungle]] level. It floats under the stage and can be used for a recovery if the player ejects at the correct trajectory. However, they don't have the same arrow markings as the Rotatable Barrel does, instead having the markings used on a regular [[Barrel Cannon]]. Also, similar barrels called '''Spinner Barrels''' make an appearance in ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]''. These barrels have no time limit.

A Spinner Barrel, also called a Rolling Barrel,[1][2] Rotatable Barrel,[3][4] or Rotater Barrel,[5] is a type of barrel that is similar to the Blast Barrel, although Spinner Barrels can actually be rotated and fired in any direction. However, some of them have a time limit (indicated by a number that appears on the barrel) to how long the Kongs can stay in the barrels. After this limit, the Kongs are launched automatically. Steerable Barrels are similar, except that their aim cannot be changed, and the player can move them around instead. Spinner Barrels first appear in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, first appearing in Barrel Bayou and later return in Donkey Kong Land 2, Donkey Kong Land III, DK: King of Swing, and DK: Jungle Climber; none of the returning appearances have a time limit dictating how long the Kongs can be inside of a Spinner Barrel.
