| '''Check and X Barrels'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet, [[Media:DKC2 Manual 18-19.jpg|page 18]].</ref> are types of [[barrel]]s that appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. A Check Barrel has a check mark painted on it, and an X Barrel has an ''X'' painted on it (the symbols are colored green and red, respectively, in ''Donkey Kong Country 2''). Check and X Barrels are featured in the level [[Target Terror]], either in midair or on the track. Their purpose is to open or close a gate. Check Barrels open a gate, while X Barrels close it. Therefore, [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] must hit the Check Barrels and avoid the X Barrels, to avoid losing a [[Kong]] or a life. | | '''Check and X Barrels'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet, [[Media:DKC2 Manual 18-19.jpg|page 18]].</ref> are special types of [[barrel]]s that appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. The Check Barrels help the [[Kong]]s, while the X ones hinder them. These appear in a few levels with a [[Skull Cart]]. In [[Target Terror]], they act as switches to open gates that are in the way. In [[Haunted Hall]], there are similar [[Plus and Minus Barrels|barrels]]. |

| [[Haunted Hall]] features similar types of barrels, the [[Plus and Minus Barrels]]. They are similar in that they are respectively marked with a green and red symbol. Rather than opening gates, these barrels increase or decrease the timer during each [[Kackle]] chase. The Kongs must hit the Plus Barrels while avoiding their Minus variant. They also make the same sound effect as Check and X Barrels do when the Kongs run into one. | |
