They are identifiable from the large white exclamation mark painted on them. The effects of the Invincibility Barrel allow for some stronger [[List of enemies|enemies]] to be instantly defeated, although normally invulnerable enemies, such as [[Snapjaw (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Snapjaw]]s, remain unaffected by this. | ||
Invincibility Barrels | Invincibility Barrels are sometimes hidden and/or required to reach a [[Bonus room|Bonus Level]]. One example is in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', during [[Bramble Scramble (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Bramble Scramble]], where [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] can use an Invincibility Barrel to safely cross a nearby [[bramble]] path and fire into a [[Bonus Barrel]]. In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''{{'}}s [[Riverside Race]], Dixie and [[Kiddy Kong]] must use an Invincibility Barrel (which is invisible, with a banana representing its location) to [[jump]] onto three red [[Buzz (enemy)|Buzz]]es to reach a Bonus Barrel on the hill. | ||
Though Invincibility Barrels have no other appearances, the concept of invincibility also appears in some other games of the [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'' franchise]]. In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', [[Donkey Kong]]'s [[Strong Kong]] gives him temporary invincibility, so long as he has a supply of [[Crystal Coconut]]s. In ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'' and ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]'', the player can become temporarily invincible by using the "Go Bananas" ability with 20 [[banana]]s and [[Crystal Star (DK: Jungle Climber)|Crystal Star]]s, respectively. | |||
