Diddy Kong | Diddy Kong dons a '''Rocketbarrel Pack''' and starts charging it, slowing his fall. When the special attack button is released, he propels himself in the chosen direction. | ||
The distance the Rocketbarrel Boost will cover depends on how much the attack is charged. During the charging period, the angle that Diddy travels can be altered by tilting the [[Control Stick]] left or right; charging the move longer allows a more significant angle shift. | The distance the Rocketbarrel Boost will cover depends on how much the attack is charged.

Touching an opponent while ascending will cause | Touching an opponent while ascending will cause minor [[damage]]. The initial burst when used in the air may serve as a [[meteor smash]], spiking the foe while Diddy recovers to safe ground. If Diddy is attacked while using the move, the barrels will fly off and become randomly-moving, [[unblockable]] but [[reflect]]able [[projectile]]s, exploding on contact with the stage. If Diddy hits a ceiling while using the move, he takes about 5% damage. | ||
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', the move can be used to travel at more horizontal trajectories, improving the move's uses for recovery. | |||

If Diddy Kong uses Rocketbarrel Boost while [[swim]]ming, Diddy will sink down a bit and then float back up. Before he floats back up a small splash animation will be seen at the top of the water. | |||
== | ==Barrel jumping== | ||
{{ | Barrel jumping is an [[advanced technique]] in ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4''. It is very similar to {{SSBB|Lucas}}'s [[zap jump]] except that the zap jump can be used as an extended jump but the timings are almost exact. The player must first be knocked off the stage. Then, the player executes Rocketbarrel Boost at the same time as a midair jump. Instead of slightly moving downward with Rocketbarrel Boost while charging, the player glides upwards, and then performs Rocketbarrel Boost. This can aid Diddy Kong's recovery tremendously. | ||

;Rocketbarrel Pack | |||
''An item that looks like regular barrels but becomes a rocket-powered jet pack when Diddy Kong straps them on his back. It's a convenient gadget to have when adventuring, but for whatever reason, Diddy also uses it when playing tennis and basketball. The moves he can pull off with the rocketbarrel pack are so cool that they're almost not fair. Almost.'' | |||

The Rocketbarrel Pack trophy is available in both versions. In {{forwiiu}} it is part of the ''Animal Friends and Items'' [[Trophy Box]]. | |||

:{{Flag|North America}} ''Two barrels modified into jet engines— throw them on and you're airborne! You can charge them up for a bigger, more accurate boost, but be careful while using these. If you get hit while you're powering up on the ground or zipping around the sky, you'll lose all control of this jet pack!'' | |||
:{{Flag|Europe}} ''Two barrels equipped with jet engines. Strap them onto your back and the sky's the limit! Use this contraption to boost your jump and control where you land with pinpoint precision. Just try not to let yourself get attacked when you're charging the jets or in the air, or things'll go haywire!'' | |||

While the move itself didn't originate from any game before ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', the Barrel Jet itself first appears in ''{{s|dkwiki|Donkey Kong 64}}''. It appears as one of Diddy Kong's items which can be purchased from {{s|dkwiki|Cranky's Lab}}. Diddy Kong can use it to fly in the air for a short time and can also use it with his [[Peanut Popgun]]s to shoot at foes. The move also appears in ''{{s|dkwiki|Donkey Kong Country Returns}}'', where it allows Diddy (and [[Donkey Kong]], if the two are paired up) to temporarily hover. The Barrel Jet itself has a different appearance in ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' and the subsequent ''{{s|dkwiki|Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze}}'': a tan cloth backpack containing a single rocket-shaped barrel on a metal arm. Despite this redesign, ''SSB4'' retains the move's appearance from ''Donkey Kong 64''. | |||

==Trivia== | |||
*When playing as Diddy Kong on "low gravity" mode, charging his Rocketbarrel Boost in the air causes him to float up, as if the gravity was reversed. If the player is attacked in mid air as Diddy Kong, and jump after the attack, and then use the move again, the same thing occurs. | |||
*Professional ''Smash 4'' player {{Sm|MVD|}} has earned the title "The Barrel Technician", due to his creative use of Rocketbarrel Boost in tournaments, most notably [[CEO 2015]]. | |||
