'''On and Off Barrels''' are a type of [[barrel]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' that only appear in [[Loopy Lights]].


These barrels only appear in one [[level]], [[Loopy Lights]]. The barrel acts as a light switch, lighting up the area when set to "ON" and darkening the area when set to "OFF". Jumping at a barrel will make it switch between the two modes. With the lights off, enemies and the level become harder to see. [[Stop and Go Barrel]]s from the same game work similarly to On and Off Barrels. When turned on, the barrel lights up the area for a few seconds, and then turns itself off again.
As suggested by their name, On and Off Barrels act similar to light switches. They are either found on the ground or in mid-air. By default, every On and Off Barrel has the white text 'OFF' painted on them. If [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] touch an On and 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 and Off Barrels are similar to the [[Stop and Go Barrel]]s from [[Stop & Go Station]].


Numerous barrels that function just like On and Off Barrels from ''Donkey Kong Country'' appear in [[Glimmer's Galleon (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Glimmer's Galleon]], a pitch-dark underwater stage from ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. However, instead of the words "ON" or "OFF", they display a small light bulb icon. Once touched, the barrels will light up the area temporarily.
In the [[Game Boy Color]] remake, Loopy Lights is not as dark while the On and 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.

On and Off Barrels are a type of barrel in Donkey Kong Country that only appear in Loopy Lights.

As suggested by their name, On and Off Barrels act similar to light switches. They are either found on the ground or in mid-air. By default, every On and Off Barrel has the white text 'OFF' painted on them. If Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong touch an On and Off Barrel, all of them change to 'ON'. This causes the level to illuminate for a few seconds, allowing the Kongs to see the path and the enemies ahead. On and Off Barrels are similar to the Stop and Go Barrels from Stop & Go Station.

In the Game Boy Color remake, Loopy Lights is not as dark while the On and 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, there is a type of barrel similar to the On and 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.
