Animal Barrel
If you jump into one of these barrels, it will morph you into the animal. Like if there was a picture of Enguarde on the front, you would morph into Enguarde.

+ Barrel
The + Barrel is used in the level Haunted Hall. It is used to add time before Kackle will attack you. Has a + sign on the front of it.

- Barrel
The - Barrel is almost identical to the + Barrel, except that it removes time before Kackle attacks you. Has a - sign on the Front.

Bonus Barrel
The Bonus Barrel sends you to a bonus game when you jump into it. These barrels are usually hidden somewhere in the level, so you will have to look. It has a "B" on the front.

X Barrel
Like the Check Barrel, except blocks your path. Has an X on the front.

Halfway Barrel
This barrel marks the halfway point of the level, and if you die, you can restart here. Has stars moving around the barrel.
