A '''Stop and Go Barrel''' is a type of [[barrel]] that appears in the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] game, ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. It appears as a dark barrel with either the word "Stop" or "Go" on it.

'''Stop and Go Barrels''' are a type of [[barrel]] that appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', and are exclusive to the [[level]], [[Stop & Go Station]]. They are a dark barrel either reading either "Stop" or "Go" on it, respectively in red and green text. The stage lighting corresponds to the Stop and Go Barrels' current setting (red for "Stop" and green for "Go").


This type of barrel only appears in the level, [[Stop & Go Station]]. During this level, there are many [[Rock Kroc]] enemies dashing across the areas, and they can easily hurt the [[Kong]]s. Numerous Stop and Go Barrels are placed throughout this stage, showing the word "Go" on them. If the barrel is hit, it turns into a Stop Barrel for a short period of time. While it is a Stop Barrel, all the Rock Krocs in the area cease to move and curl up into a ball, becoming harmless. After a short time, all Stop Barrels become Go Barrels again and the Rock Krocs will resume moving.
In Stop & Go Station, most of the paths are occupied by the invulnerable [[Rock Kroc]]s, whose movements can oddly be manipulated from the numerous Stop and Go Barrels appearing throughout the level. By default, each Stop and Go Barrel is set to "Go", which permits the Rock Krocs to move around. If [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] jump at a Stop and Go Barrel, it and the other barrels of its type temporarily read "Stop", causing the Rock Krocs to curl into a ball and cease movement. This allows the [[Kong]]s to safely pass the Rock Krocs. After a while, the Stop and Go Barrels revert to "Go", and the Rock Krocs resume movement. The duration in which the barrels are set to "Stop" is based on the distance from that Stop and Go Barrel to the next one.
 
Noticeably, when these barrels are set on the "Go" setting, the lights illuminating the level turn green. When they are put on "Stop," the lights turn red.
