Barrel Cannons appear in all six [[Donkey Kong Country (series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' games]] and the [[Donkey Kong Land (series)|''Donkey Kong Land'' games]]. They can also be found by [[Donkey Kong]] in the [[Baboon Blast]] courses of ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. In these games, if a [[Kong]] goes into the barrel, it will either stay still, move horizontally or vertically, or spin around and the Kong will have to press a button at the right time (taking any obstacles, items, and/or other Barrel Cannons into account) to blast to their destination. | Barrel Cannons appear in all six [[Donkey Kong Country (series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' games]] and the [[Donkey Kong Land (series)|''Donkey Kong Land'' games]].

They come in many varieties in the ''Donkey Kong Country'' games, especially in [[Donkey Kong Country|the]] [[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest|first]] [[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!|three]] games. These include [[Blast Barrel]]s, [[Tracker Barrel]]s, [[Rotatable Barrel]]s, [[Steerable Barrel]]s, [[Booster Barrel]]s, and more. In ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', and ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', Barrel Cannons only come in four varieties: Barrel Cannons, skull Barrel Cannons, Blast Barrels, and skull Blast Barrels. The skull versions destroy themselves when they fire the Kongs. In ''Tropical Freeze'', Barrel Cannons gain a more rugged appearance, having chipped or faded paint in many places. | They come in many varieties in the ''Donkey Kong Country'' games, especially in [[Donkey Kong Country|the]] [[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest|first]] [[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!|three]] games.

Barrel Cannons can be encountered in ''[[New Play Control! Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'', replacing the cannon flowers from the original [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] game. They are completely stationary in this game, and once entered, they will only shoot Donkey Kong in one direction. In order to blast DK out of a Barrel Cannon, the player has to swing the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wiimote]]. | Barrel Cannons can be encountered in ''[[New Play Control!
