A '''barrel''' ({{ja|タル|Taru}}, ''barrel'') is a container item that has appeared in all four games of the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series. This makes it similar to a [[crate]]. When one picks up a barrel, one will not be able to jump or attack, and one will move very slowly while holding it (with the exception of [[Donkey Kong]]), due to its massive weight. After one has picked up a barrel, one can throw it up, forward, or down. If a standing barrel is hit with a weak attack or lands on a sloped surface, it will roll across the stage.

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.


==Gameplay==
===''Super Smash Bros.''===
===''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.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', barrels can also very rarely release an [[Adventure Mode]] enemy, such as a [[ReDead]], an [[Octorok]], or a [[Goomba]]<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2qut3x6U_Y</ref>. When they are thrown at opponents, they can deal 18 to 22% damage and good knockback. When they explode after hitting an opponent, they deal massive damage and strong [[knockback]]. They contain only one item each.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'',  barrels, along with [[Crates]], have a different appearance depending on what stage the player is playing on. On a more futuristic stage, e.g. [[Lylat Cruise]], they take on a metallic appearance, and 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.

[[File:Barrel donkey kong country.jpg|thumb|150px|Three barrels as seen in ''Donkey Kong Country''.]]
The barrels seen in ''Smash'' most resemble those from the {{uv|Donkey Kong}} series. In ''{{b|Donkey Kong|game}}'', [[Donkey Kong]] would roll barrels at [[Mario]]; if Mario got hit by a barrel, he would lose a life. Barrels also appear prominently in the ''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]]. In ''Smash'', the barrels contain items and they can be thrown at other players to cause damage or even a KO. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCIireS3AYw]

“ Attack it or pick it up and throw it to break it open and release its contents. ”
—Super Smash Bros. instruction booklet description

A Barrel (タル, Barrel) is a container item that has appeared in all five games of the Super Smash Bros. series.

OriginEdit

 
Diddy throws a Barrel in Donkey Kong Country.

The Barrels seen in Smash most resemble those from the Donkey Kong series. In the original Donkey Kong, 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 Donkey Kong Country games, appearing in roles such as objects that could be thrown by the players, enemy projectiles, and a respawn mechanism. Similar to Smash, the barrels in the Country series also occasionally contain items like bananas and golden figures that access bonus levels.

The 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.

OverviewEdit

Overall, barrels work very similarly to crates. 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 thrown 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.Edit

In the original Super Smash Bros., the player cannot move at all while holding a barrel, with the exception of 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. MeleeEdit

In Super Smash Bros. Melee, barrels can very rarely release an Adventure Mode enemy, such as a ReDead, an Octorok, or a Goomba[1]. When they are thrown at opponents, they can deal 18 to 22% damage and good knockback. When they explode after hitting an opponent, they deal massive damage and strong knockback. They contain only one item each.

TrophyEdit

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. (4/99)

Super Smash Bros. BrawlEdit

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, barrels and crates 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. Yoshi's Island) they look like wrapped-up presents.[2] 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.

Donkey Kong gains knockback-based super armor while carrying a Barrel, similar to his forward throw.
