In ''Donkey Kong Country'', Fuel Barrels make their first appearance in [[Tanked Up Trouble]]. There, they are used to fuel up a small platform, which is used throughout the whole level to guide the [[Kong]]s to the level's end. The barrels do not appear often in the level, though, so grabbing them when they appear is vital. A simple touch of the barrels can slightly fill up the platform's tank for a limited amount of time, though some Fuel Barrels barely fill up the tank at all.
==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country''===
In ''Donkey Kong Country'', Fuel Canisters appear in only one [[level]], [[Tanked Up Trouble]]. They have a critical role of fueling a [[platform]] that [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] use during most of level. Each Fuel Canister has some red dots indicating how many of the platform's five gauges they can refill and, in turn, their usefulness to the Kongs, who must quickly collect any Fuel Canister they come across, as the platform's energy drains quickly. Fuel Canisters with one, three, and five red dots respectively fill the same number of gauges on the platform.
 
Fuel Canisters with two dots and four dots each exist in the game's graphic data,<ref>Mattress87, Mr. L, Tonberry2k. [https://www.spriters-resource.com/snes/dkc/sheet/45630/ Donkey Kong Country - Objects & Effects]. ''The Spriters Resource''. Retrieved May 16, 2022.</ref> but they are [[list of Donkey Kong Country pre-release and unused content|unused]].
 
===''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''===
[[File:Fuel Tank.png|frame|right]]
In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', Fuel Drums were redesigned to have a blue paint, and they similarly only appear in only one level, [[Rocket Rush (level)|Rocket Rush]], in lesser quantities than ''Donkey Kong Country''{{'}}s Tanked Up Trouble. Fuel Drums are instead a fuel source for the [[Rocket Barrel]].


[[File:Fuel Tank.png|frame|left]]
In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', they are only found in [[Rocket Rush]]. There, they are mostly unchanged, although they are a dark blue color instead of black. During gameplay, the barrels must be gathered to fuel up a special kind of [[Rocket Barrel]], which [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] ride in through much of the level. The Fuel Barrels are usually found in plain sight and fill up more fuel than in ''Donkey Kong Country''. However, they rarely appear, so saving fuel is very important during the level.
