Stop & Go Barrel
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.
This type of barrel only appears in the level, Stop & Go Station. During this level, there are many Rockkroc enemies dashing across the areas, and they can easily hurt the Kongs. 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 Rockkrocs in the area cease to move and curl up into a ball. Therefore, the Stop and Go Barrels can prove useful in this level, as they allow the apes to head past the Rockkrocs without taking damage.
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.
