In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' a Rocket Barrel is used throughout the final level, [[Rocket Rush (level)|Rocket Rush]]. Here, [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] must use the Rocket Barrel to slowly descend the cliffside. The Rocket Barrel runs on limited fuel, and a meter is displayed on the right side of the screen show the amount of fuel remaining. The fuel supply can only be replenished by [[Fuel Drum]]s. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, the fuel meter was expanded and made more visible: the red represents how much fuel was used while green represents the amount remaining.

The Rocket Barrel slowly descends in the level, and the Kongs can move the Rocket Barrel either left or right, and the player can press {{button|snes|A}} to release exhaust fuel from the Rocket Barrel, though doing so causes it to run out of fuel faster. At the end of the level, the Kongs hit into an [[Ignition Barrel]], causing the Rocket Barrel to rapidly blast upward. During this part, the player must control the Rocket Barrel through the small gaps of the cliffside. If the Rocket Barrel hits into any of the walls, it runs out of fuel much faster. Dixie and Kiddy eventually reach the landing platform, where they get out of the Rocket Barrel and finish the level.
The Rocket Barrel slowly descends in the level, and the Kongs can move the Rocket Barrel either left or right, and the player can press {{button|snes|A}} (or defeat a Buzz with the exhaust) to release exhaust fuel from the Rocket Barrel, though doing so causes it to run out of fuel faster. Midway during the level, the Kongs hit into an [[Ignition Barrel]], causing the Rocket Barrel to rapidly blast upward. During this part, the player must control the Rocket Barrel through the small gaps of the cliffside. If the Rocket Barrel hits into any of the walls, it runs out of fuel much faster.

In the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] version, the Rocket Barrel can defeat both green and red [[Buzz (enemy)|Buzz]]es. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, the player can only defeat green Buzzes by pressing left or right on the {{button|gba|pad}} or {{button|gba|A}} to use exhaust near them. The red Buzzes are unaffected by the Rocket Barrel entirely and must only be avoided by the Kongs. If the Rocket Barrel hits into either type of Buzz, the player loses a Kong.
In the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] version, the Rocket Barrel can defeat [[Buzz (enemy)|Buzz]]es; only red Buzzes appear in the aforementioned version's level. Additionally, the Rocket Barrel is immune to damage from bumping into Buzzes in the SNES version. However, if the rocket descends too quickly, it will break, resulting in an immediate loss of a life regardless of having both Kongs. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, the player can only defeat green Buzzes by pressing left or right on the {{button|gba|pad}} or {{button|gba|A}} to use exhaust near them. The red Buzzes are unaffected by the Rocket Barrel entirely and must only be avoided by the Kongs. If the Rocket Barrel hits into either type of Buzz in the GBA version, the player loses a Kong.
