{{cquote|''Attack it or pick it up and throw it to break it open and release its contents.''|cite=''Super Smash Bros.'' instruction booklet description}}
A '''Barrel''' ({{ja|タル|Taru}}, ''Barrel'') is a container [[item]] that has appeared in all five games of the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series.

==Origin==
[[File:Diddy barrel DKC.png|left|thumb|150px|Diddy throws a Barrel in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''.]]
The Barrels seen in ''Smash'' most resemble those from the {{uv|Donkey Kong}} series. In the original ''{{b|Donkey Kong|game}}'', they act as hazards which [[Donkey Kong]] throws at [[Mario]]; if Mario gets hit by a barrel he loses a life. Barrels also feature prominently in the ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Country}}'' games, appearing in roles such as objects that could be thrown by the players, enemy projectiles, and [[DK Barrel|a respawn mechanism]]. Similar to ''Smash'', the barrels in the ''Country'' series also occasionally contain items like {{s|mariowiki|banana}}s and golden figures that access bonus levels.

The {{s|wikipedia|barrel}} is a common real world item. Usually made of wood or metal, the crate is primarily used as a shipping container for particularly large objects that could easily be damaged outside of an enclosed space. Due to their unique oblong and bulging shape, they can be placed on their side and rolled around, making them easier to transport compared to other containers.
{{clrl}}

==Overview==
Overall, barrels work very similarly to [[crate]]s. When a character picks up a barrel, they lose the ability to [[jump]] or [[attack]], and (with the exception of [[Donkey Kong]]) their movement speed is greatly lowered due to the barrel's massive weight. They also cannot be picked up in mid-air. Barrels can be [[item throw|throw]]n up, forward, or down.

If a standing barrel is hit with a weak attack or lands on a sloped surface it starts rolling across the stage; if a rolling barrel hits a fighter, the barrel will break and deliver medium knockback to the fighter.

===''Super Smash Bros.''===
In the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', the player cannot move at all while holding a barrel, with the exception of {{SSB|Donkey Kong}}. Interestingly, Donkey Kong can not throw Barrels below him due to the way he carries the item. There is a 12.5% chance that barrels will explode upon being thrown, and in the case that it does, it may damage the player who threw it as well. 

===''Super Smash Bros. Melee''===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', Barrels have 12 [[HP]] and, when broken, will either drop an item or explode. The chances are: {{Fractions|90|100}} for an item and {{Fractions|10|100}} for an explosion. When they are thrown at opponents, they can deal 18-22% damage and have a decent amount of [[knockback]]. The explosion always deals 22%.

Barrels have a {{Fractions|1|128}} chance of containing a [[Goomba]] ({{Fractions|2|7}}), [[ReDead]] ({{Fractions|3|7}}), [[Octorok]] ({{Fractions|1|7}}), or [[Topi]] ({{Fractions|1|7}}).

====Trophy====
{{Trophy
|name=Barrel
|image=Barrel Melee Trophy.png
|desc=Like Crates, Barrels are often filled with items and occasionally explosive. Thrown Barrels may break on contact or go rolling along the ground to smash into characters. Like the Crate, the Barrel is heavy, so it will restrict the speed at which the character carrying it can move. This speed differs between characters.

===''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'',  barrels and [[crate]]s have a different appearance depending on what stage the match is fought. On more futuristic stages (e.g. [[Lylat Cruise]]) they take on a metallic appearance, while on more fantastical stages (e.g. {{SSBB|Yoshi's Island}}) they look like wrapped-up presents.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/items/item03.html |title=Crates and Barrels |date=2007-06-14 |accessdate=2007-11-09 |work=[[Smash Bros. DOJO!!]] |publisher=smashbros.com}}</ref> Barrels also fly much farther and faster when struck. Additionally, if a rolling barrel comes to a rest, it stops being harmful to players and can be picked up and thrown again, or attacked to be either sent flying or broken.

{{SSBB|Donkey Kong}} gains knockback-based [[super armor]] while carrying a Barrel, similar to his [[forward throw]].

====Trophy====

|desc=Item holders similar to crates--their appearance will also change to fit the area. When you throw a barrel, it won't shatter, but rather roll across the stage. When a rolling barrel hits a character, that character gets sent sailing. Barrels are heavy, so you'll need two hands to pick them up, and your foot speed will decrease too.

|image-wiiu=BarrelTrophyWiiU.png
|desc-ntsc=These barrels are crammed full of items, but they're also incredibly tough to break. No baby hits here—attacking too lightly will just send the barrel rolling away, making it a dangerous obstacle for both you and your foes. And if others break the barrel, they'll get the items you wanted!
|desc-pal=Barrels have all sorts of items inside, but they're tough! Hitting them lightly or throwing them might not be enough to get these things open. In fact, you might just end up sending them rolling, and just so you know, rolling barrels are a force to be reckoned with! They can send you flying right off the stage!
