BACKGROUND:
Cranky Kong was always trouble for Mario back in the old days. To keep him from saving his
girlfriend, he would throw huge barrels at the plumber. The barrels would roll down the construction site and had a huge chance of hitting Mario. But Mario wasn't going to give up a fight! He used his mallet and slammed the barrels open.
Barrels later became helpful items for Donkey Kong and friends on their adventures.

Attack Pattern: These only appear in one section of Bowser's Keep, being tossed by a Chained Kong. They will cost Mario one "chance" if he gets hit.
Basic Strategies: Jump, jump, jump! They're easy to hop over in this game and there's no other way past them.
Advanced Strategies: Every so often the Chained Kong will growl and toss one barrel straight down. This will leave a break in the barrels that are rolling along the floors so you can leap up from one floor to the next.
FOOTNOTES AND TRIVIA:
Barrels also appear in the Smash Bros. series but as items that anyone can use rather than enemies.
