'''Slot Machine Barrels'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' instruction booklet, page 18 (North American version), page 23 (PAL version)</ref> are a unique type of [[Barrel]] that appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', and ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. They have the same purpose as [[End of Level Target]]s and [[Level Flag]]s from earlier ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' titles, even giant fruits from ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'', in that they represent the end of every level (except boss levels and Key Temples). | |||
At first, the Slot Machine Barrel is idle and displays a yellow star on a red background. When the [[Kong]]s go near a Slot Machine Barrel, the roulette in its center begins to spin between prizes. They include a [[banana]] (which represents five), a red [[Extra Life Balloon|Life Balloon]], a [[Banana Coin]], or a DK symbol. By hitting the barrel, the Kongs win the displayed prize, and the level ends. Unlike End of Level Targets, the prizes for Slot Machine Barrels are consistent in every level. | |||
If the Kongs hit a Slot Machine Barrel just as it displays the DK logo, the player can shake the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] (and [[Wii#Nunchuk|Nunchuk]], depending on play mode) to hit the Slot Machine Barrel several times until it breaks. The number of hits given to the barrel provides the same number of a random prize to the Kongs. The count does not exceed 15, even if the Slot Machine Barrel is hit more than 15 times. | |||
In ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'', some levels contain more than one Slot Machine Barrel. These additional barrels, much like [[Red Flagpole]]s from the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' series, | In [[Donkey Kong Country Returns#Time Attack|Time Attack]] mode, the Slot Machine Barrel displays a checkered flag. While it does not move between By hitting the barrel, [[Professor Chops]] waves the checkered flag to stop the timer, and the Kongs finish the level. In ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'', the Slot Machine Barrel of the [[Golden Temple]] displays a Mirror Trophy. When the Kongs hit that Slot Machine Barrel, the player unlocks Mirror Mode. | ||
In ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'', some levels contain more than one Slot Machine Barrel. These additional barrels mark a secret exit, much like [[Red Flagpole]]s from the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' series, and they unlock a hidden, alternate path on the world map. | |||
