History
Donkey Kong
Oil drums are first featured in the Donkey Kong arcade game as a hazard in the 25 m and 50 m stages. At 25 m, one appears on the bottom floor, left from Mario's starting position. Although harmless initially, the oil drum will combust into flames when a blue barrel is tossed into it, producing Fireball enemies which seek and attempt to harm Mario. At 50 m, another appears in the middle of the stage, between two Conveyor Belts which run toward it; this oil drum also spawns Fireball enemies, though without coming into contact with a barrel.
The oil drums are seen again and act the same in the Game Boy Donkey Kong renditions of 25m and 50m, as well as in Donkey Kong 64's port of the original arcade game.
Donkey Kong Country series
Donkey Kong Country
Oil drums later appear as obstacles in Donkey Kong Country. They retain their ability to expel flames, and are the main feature of the first Kremkroc Industries, Inc. stage, Oil Drum Alley, but they also appear in Torchlight Trouble. Some oil drums continuously expel flames, while others do so every few seconds; in the case of the latter variant, the time gap is lengthened in the Japanese version of the game. They are either positioned on the ground or in mid-air. In parts of Oil Drum Alley, Donkey and Diddy are required to cross abysses by hopping from one floating oil drum to the next. The only way to destroy an oil drum is by throwing a TNT Barrel at it. This is necessary at the beginning of Oil Drum Alley in order to access the level's first Bonus Level.
Black drums are similar enemy obstacles to oil drums. Appearance-wise, they are more slim and have a skull and crossbones emblem printed on them. These obstacles emit an unlimited amount of a certain enemy. Dumb Drum is a larger boss variant of the black drum.
