Throw a Barrel at It | comment |
The use of barrels or other large cylindrical objects as thrown weapons. Sometimes these are filled with volatile liquids. Barrels are rather heavy to the average person and can weigh hundreds of pounds when filled. The act of picking them up and throwing them to cause damage is generally left to stronger characters, characters with special equipment or powers, and gorillas. Typically this trope is implemented in video games. Mooks or bosses might throw barrels at the player's character. Quite often, the thrown barrels can be destroyed before they reach the character by shooting at them. Players' characters themselves may be able to utilize barrels if they fall into one of the categories listed above. The Trope Codifier is Donkey Kong, and a good number of the examples are homages to that game. |

In Megamind, Megamind trains the very video-game-obsessed new super-hero-in-name-only Hal (a.k.a. Tighten) by having him run a platform course and jump over barrels that Minion (dressed in a gorilla suit) is tossing down at him. | |

The only obstacle in the level Toxic Waste in Crash Bandicoot (1996), aside from the titular toxic waste, are oil barrels thrown by Pinstripe’s mafia goons. Later in the level, they start bouncing, adding an extra layer of complexity. One of the Aku Aku hints in the Japanese version even lampshades this trope’s prevalence in video games. | |

Half-Life 2: The game has exploding barrels as weapons by Civil Protection. They roll them at you from the top of stairs and from the sides of a canal you're traversing, and even later, when you're in the airboat; the latter case has the added danger of barrels instantly exploding if you ram into them fast enough. Naturally, a key strategy is shooting the barrels before they get close enough to you to do damage. Furthermore, using barrels as simple projectile weapons is an option for the player once you obtain the Gravity Gun. Zombies that encounter a barrel between themselves and the player will toss the barrel at him for more damage than their usual melee swipes. This is an unscripted behavior, unlike the flaming barrel ambushes by the metrocops, which are all pre-planned. |

World of Warcraft: In a pretty clear Shout-Out to Donkey Kong, one of the encounters in the Stormstout Brewery dungeon in the Mists of Pandaria involves jumping onto rolling barrels to aim them at the boss — a giant monkey. Players of Brewmaster monks often initiate fights by throwing an exploding keg at enemies. |

Lethal Enforcers 2 have you battling the second boss, who's at the back of a wagon full of explosives and driving uphill, at which point the boss will lob the barrels at your direction. He's actually one of the easier bosses in the entire series, due to his barrels being relatively slow and can be blown up by one shot, and he lobs only a single barrel each time. | |

In Cadillacs and Dinosaurs you can pick up wooden barrels and oil drums and toss them a short distance, knocking down anyone in their path. Its main use is preserving the powerups within for when they're actually needed, as per the usual Beat 'em Up formula, it's impossible to backtrack after the screen scrolls forward. | |

Goes back to the original Donkey Kong. Mastering the art of barrel throwing is a big part of the Donkey Kong Country games, including Donkey Kong '94, where Mario gets to give the big gorilla a taste of his own medicine. In Donkey Kong Country, barrels are used to defeat mooks (and sometimes bosses), break open secret walls, and in the third installment, get DK coins from aptly named Koins. There are wooden barrels, metal kegs, TNT barrels, wood boxes and most importantly the DK barrel, which serves as an HP refill in all games, either by containing a Kong you lost, or in the two newer games – DKC Returns and Tropical Freeze – as full restores for any lost hearts. | |

Futurama: The first episode opens with Fry playing a side-scrolling space shooter game... until he reaches the end, where a giant monkey pops out of a planet and starts throwing barrels at him. Similarly parodied with Mario and Donkey Kong themselves, doing what they do best, in "Anthology of Interest II". |

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker does this on those occasions where barrels are not used as objects to hide under. Case in point, the Forsaken Fortress, in which barrels are all over the place but are used as throwable objects when the player is not required to sneak past guards. | |

The Pirate Skirmisher in the multiplayer game Pirates Vikings and Knights has a powderkeg strapped to his back. Using the primary fire key, he can light the fuse and wait for the perfect moment to throw the keg, ideally killing multiple enemies at once. The keg also deals Scratch Damage if you throw it in someone's face. | |

Deus Ex: Human Revolution features throwable exploding barrels and gas canisters. On the plus side, they easily kill/knock out enemies with little to no effort on your part. On the downside, you get no EXP. This is, however, the best way to take out the first boss if you don't have a combat build. | |

DUSK-12 sees you playing as a Super Soldier with Super Strength to boot. As you can't use firearms for some reason, instead your main ranged attacks have you grabbing barrels and flinging them at enemies you can't reach, including a boss battle against a helicopter in a port full of flingable barrels. | |

In the second season episode of The Critic, "Frankie and Ellie Get Lost", Franklin Sherman drives rather recklessly on his way to the airport. When Eleanor chastises him to slow down he exclaims: "Are you mad? Don't you see what danger we're in?" A quick cut to his P.O.V. shows an 8-Bit Donkey Kong throwing barrels at them. It should be pointed out that Franklin is something of a Cloudcuckoolander at the best of times. | |
