Kong Barrels have so far only appeared in Donkey Kong 64. It contains the barrel moves Cranky can teach to each Kong. Once a Kong hops into this barrel, Crystal Coconuts are the only thing that can keep its move alive.
- Strong Kong is Donkey Kong's barrel and allows him to be invincible.
- Rocketbarrel Boost is Diddy Kong's barrel and allows him to fly for as long as his Crystal Coconuts last.
- OrangSprint is Lanky Kong's barrel and allows him to run on his hands very fast.
- Mini-Monkey is Tiny Kong's barrel and allows her to shrink to a teeny-tiny size to get into small places or passageways.
- Hunky Chunky is Chunky Kong's barrel and allows him to grow many times his own size and increases his strength many times.
