They are identifiable from the large white exclamation mark painted on them. Through the effects of an Invincibility Barrel, the Kongs are able to defeat some of the stronger enemies, although normally invulnerable enemies, such as [[Snapjaw (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Snapjaw]]s, still remain unaffected.
-In each of their appearances, Invincibility Barrels grant temporary invincibility to the [[Kong]]s, similar to a [[Super Star]] from the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series. They are identifiable from the large white exclamation mark painted on them. Through the effects of an Invincibility Barrel, the Kongs are able to defeat some of the stronger enemies, although normally invulnerable enemies, such as [[Snapjaw (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Snapjaw]]s, still remain unaffected.
 Invincibility Barrels are sometimes hidden and/or required to reach a [[Bonus room|Bonus Level]]. One example is in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', during [[Bramble Scramble (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Bramble Scramble]], where [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] can use an Invincibility Barrel to safely cross a nearby [[bramble]] path and fire into a [[Bonus Barrel]]. In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''{{'}}s [[Riverside Race]], Dixie and [[Kiddy Kong]] must use an Invincibility Barrel (which is invisible, with a banana representing its location) to jump onto three red [[Buzz (enemy)|Buzz]]es to reach a Bonus Barrel on the hill.
-Invincibility Barrels do not appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'' and have not appeared since. They have a few successors that appear in some later ''[[Donkey Kong (series)|Donkey Kong]]'' titles. In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', [[Donkey Kong]] has his own ability, [[Strong Kong]], that gives him temporary invincibility. In ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'', the player can temporarily gain invincibility by using the "Go Bananas" ability with 20 [[banana]]s, and in ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]'', [[Crystal Star (DK: Jungle Climber)|Crystal Star]] are the successor to "Go Bananas."
