'''Fast Barrel Blast''' is twenty-seventh level in the ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' pseudo-sequel and the classic [[Game Boy]] game, ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. It is also the fourth area in the [[Big Ape City]].
'''Fast Barrel Blast'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Land'' instruction booklet, page 19.</ref> is the twenty-seventh level in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'' and the fourth level of [[Big Ape City]]. Fast Barrel Blast takes place inside of a blimp that largely features [[Barrel Cannon]]s, which move faster than in other levels.

This is the last blimp level in ''Donkey Kong Land''. Just as in some of the earlier levels in the game, the [[Kong]]s will have to shoot through many barrels to cross wide pits and get up high ledges. However, this time, the barrels are faster and harder to aim. In addition to these tricky barrels, the heroes must use a few [[tire]]s to travel to certain areas that are too hard to reach with a normal [[jump]]. To make things harder, the level is filled with foes such as [[Kritter]]s, [[Mini Necky|Mini Neckies]], [[Krusha]]s, [[Zinger]]s, [[Slippa]]s, [[Hogwash]]es, and [[Gnawty|Gnawties]].

From the start of the level, the heroes must bounce off of a few Kritters and land in a barrel. It will shoot them up a ledge, where they have to defeat a Mini Necky and jump down another ledge. There, they will find a large abyss, and the only way to cross it is by using barrels. With good aim, the monkeys must shoot barrel-to-barrel over the gap and make it to the other side. In this area, they will have to jump over a few Krushas and travel to another abyss. Barrels must be used again to get over it. This time, the Kongs will only have to shoot in a strait line, although they must watch out for a few Zingers as they go. On the other side of the pit, they will find the checkpoint.

Halfway through the level, the heroes must jump into another barrel and shoot towards the banana trails. When they get out of the last barrel in this area, they should defeat two Slippas and jump up to another barrel. After shooting to the second barrel, the group must bounce off of a tire to reach the following barrel, then continue to blast across the gap below. Back on the ground and out of the barrels, they will have to carefully beat some enemies. Bouncing off of a nearby tire will take the heroes to another barrel, and the monkeys must again, shoot over a large abyss. Once they finish shooting through the barrels in a strait path, they will land on a safe area. There, they will need to jump off a cliff to reach a tire. When they bounce off of it and move to the right, they will encounter a Hogwash. It must be bounced off of just like the tire, and [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]] and [[Diddy]] will land in a barrel right after it. They should aim the barrel to shoot them to a banana trail. When they follow the path of bananas and get over the wide abyss, the group should head east and drop down a ledge. They will see a portal, which must be jumped into. After the Kongs do so, they will be lead to the [[Skyscraper Caper|next level]].

*Shortly after passing a Mini Necky in the beginning of the level, the Kongs will have to jump down a large ledge. As they jump down, though, they should follow the banana trail they see in the air. If they followed it correctly, they will break a hole in the ground upon landing, and a rope will pop out of it. They must grab onto the rope and ride it as it ascends. They will end up at a[[Bonus Level]], where they can cash in their [[Kong Token]]s for [[Extra Live]]s. This can be done by hitting a nearby button and catching the token that shoots out of the above barrel. Once the heroes are out of coins, they will be taken back to the main level.
*At the end of the level, they Kongs should avoid dropping down the ledge leading right to the portal, and instead walk to the left end of the area. If they jump to the left more, they will land in a barrel. It will shoot them to a Bonus Level. There, they must dodge a few [[Mincer]]s and bounce off of a tire to grab the letter G. Once done, the group can exit by walking into a nearby cave.

Fast Barrel Blast[1] is the twenty-seventh level in Donkey Kong Land and the fourth level of Big Ape City. Fast Barrel Blast takes place inside of a blimp that largely features Barrel Cannons, which move faster than in other levels. Some items such as a Kong Token or KONG Letters can be collected by launching Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong with precise timing. Sometimes, the Kongs can shoot over the Barrel Cannons to take a shortcut in the level.

Layout[edit]

Fast Barrel Blast
A Mini-Necky at the beginning of the level

When the level begins, the Kongs may collect a few bananas and bounce off of a few Kritters before landing in a barrel. This shoots them up to a ledge, where they must defeat a Mini-Necky before jumping down another ledge. After this is a large abyss which can only be crossed by shooting the Kongs out of barrels, sometimes with precise aiming and timing. After this, they must simply avoid a few Zingers before reaching the Continue Point.

Following this, the Kongs must fire themselves out of more barrels before reaching a couple of Slippas and another barrel. The Kongs must fire themselves out of the second barrel and bounce off of a tire to reach the next. They must continue over the gap before avoiding a few enemies. A tire embedded in the ground allows them to reach the next barrel. After this section, the Kongs encounter a Hogwash they may bounce off of as well. Upon completing this section, they must simply hop down to find a portal they may enter the complete the level.

Enemies[edit]

Items and objects[edit]

The following items and objects appear in the following quantities:

KONG Letters[edit]

  • K: Above a barrel cannon that's used to cross an abyss.
  • O: Found in a barrel blasting segment.
  • N: Also located in a barrel blasting segment.
  • G: In the second bonus stage.

Bonus Areas[edit]

Fast Barrel Blast
The second Bonus Area

Fast Barrel Blast has two Bonus Areas:

  • Shortly after a Mini-Necky at the start, the Kongs must jump down a large ledge while following a banana trail. By doing so, the Kongs land onto a weak spot of the ground, causing a rope to rise out. By grabbing it, the Kongs are taken to the first Bonus Area. There, the Kongs must jump on a button to release their Kong Tokens from a Barrel Cannon individually. They earn an extra life for each Kong Token they catch. Once they run out of tokens, the Kongs return into the main level.
  • At the end of the level, instead of continuing down a ledge leading to the portal, the Kongs must instead go to the left end. They must do a roll jump to land in a Blast Barrel which blasts them to a Bonus Area. The area takes place in a jungle, where the Kongs must avoid three Mincers encircling the path. Afterward, the Kongs can bounce from a half tire stuck in the ground to reach the letter G above. A cave opening is next to the tire, and by entering it the Kongs return into the main level.
