As suggested by their name, On & Off Barrels act similarly to light switches. They are found either on the ground or in midair. By default, every On & Off Barrel has the white text "OFF" painted on it. If [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] touch an On & Off Barrel, all On & Off Barrels switch to "ON," lighting up the level for a few seconds, during which the [[Kong]]s can see the path and the enemies ahead. On & Off Barrels are similar to the [[Stop & Go Barrel]]s from [[Stop & Go Station]]. In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Color)|Game Boy Color version]], Loopy Lights is not as dark while the ON/OFF Barrels are turned off, and the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]] gives the level maroon tint while the On & Off Barrels are set to "OFF," making it even less dark.

'''ON/OFF Barrels'''<ref>M. Arakawa. ''Donkey Kong Country'' Player's Guide. Page 115. "''This one’s got it all. Loopy Lights is a tester! Not only are you trying to get through a treacherous mine shaft, you have to worry about switching on the ON/OFF Barrels to see where you’re going.''"</ref> are a type of [[barrel]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' that only appear in [[Loopy Lights]].


Though On & Off Barrels make no other appearances, the ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' iteration of [[Glimmer's Galleon (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Glimmer's Galleon]] features a similar type of barrel throughout, named [[Light Barrel]]s, which temporarily brighten up the level.
As suggested by their name, ON/OFF Barrels act similar to light switches. They are either found on the ground or in mid-air. By default, every ON/OFF Barrel has the white text 'OFF' painted on them. If [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] touch an ON/OFF Barrel, all of them change to 'ON'. This causes the level to illuminate for a few seconds, allowing the [[Kong]]s to see the path and the enemies ahead. ON/OFF Barrels are similar to the [[Stop & Go Barrel]]s from [[Stop & Go Station]].
 
In the [[Game Boy Color]] remake, Loopy Lights is not as dark while the ON/OFF Barrels are turned off. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, the level has a maroon tint while they are off, making it even less dark.
 
In ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' during the level [[Glimmer's Galleon (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Glimmer's Galleon]], there is a type of barrel similar to the ON/OFF Barrels. They have a small light bulb icon displayed on them, and when Diddy and Dixie touch one of these barrels, they temporarily brighten up the level.
