'''Steerable Barrels'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet, [[Media:DKC2 Manual 18-19.jpg|page 18]].</ref> (also referred to as '''Steer Barrels''' in an issue of ''[[Nintendo Power]]'')<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Vol. 79, [[Media:Nintendo Power79 17.jpg|page 17]].</ref> are a type of [[Barrel Cannon]] appearing only in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. They can be distinguished from the control pad depicted on them. Steerable Barrels appear only in [[Fiery Furnace (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Fiery Furnace]], where they have a crucial role of carrying [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] across the enormous [[lava]] gaps. While the [[Kong]]s are inside a Steerable Barrel, they can move it freely in any direction. However, unlike with [[Spinner Barrel|Rotatable Barrel]]s, a Steerable Barrel cannot be aimed and rotated, because it always faces a single direction. Most Steerable Barrels have a timer when entered, ranging between one to five seconds, and when the timer reaches zero, the Steerable Barrel blasts the Kongs out automatically and returns to its original location.


Found hovering in the air, the Steerable Barrel can be moved in any direction. However, there is a limit to how long the [[Kong]]s can stay in the Steerable Barrel. When the time limit is passed, the Barrel will launch the Kongs and disappear. This kind of Barrel is only found in the level [[Fiery Furnace]].
Steerable Barrels do not appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', even in its own [[Fiery Furnace (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Fiery Furnace]] level.
