'''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast''' is a racing game featuring [[Donkey Kong]] and the other Kongs competing against their [[Kremling]] foes. Rather than karts or planes, the characters use jet-powered barrels attached to their waists to race through the air. The game was developed by [[PAON]], who had previously developed ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'' and ''[[DK Jungle Climber]]''.

In keeping with the DK Bongo gameplay, the 'drums' the [[Wii Remote]] and [[Nunchuk]] up and down. To jump, both are lifted up at the same time. Motion sensing is additionally used for attacking foes or using items. Characters can use items, which can include temporarily riding Animal Buddies, and each character can also use a Speed Boost known as a Wild Move after collecting 50 bananas. There are also some areas where characters can temporarily ride minecarts or tobbogans.

The game was negatively received and has not had any follow-ups. ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' would later contain several trophies and stickers reflecting the characters from the game, and it also included one of the musical tracks from this game.
