The '''Rocketbarrel Boost''' ({{ja|バレルジェット|Bareru Jetto}}, ''Barrel Jet'') (labeled '''Rocketbarrel Blast''' in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' instruction booklet) is [[Diddy Kong]]'s [[up special move]].

==Overview==
Diddy Kong generates 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.

Touching an opponent while ascending will cause fire [[damage]]. In ''Brawl'', the explosion generated from liftoff also has a hitbox which meteor smashes opponents. If Diddy is attacked while using the move, the barrels will fly off and become irregularly-moving, [[unblockable]] but [[reflect]]able [[projectile]]s, exploding on contact with the stage. The player can alter the direction the barrels will move in for a small amount of time before they lose control. If Diddy hits a surface while using the move, he takes about 5% damage.

From ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' onward, the move can be used to travel at more horizontal trajectories, improving the move's uses for recovery.

===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. When taking knockback, if the player performs a midair jump and quickly executes Rocketbarrel Boost at the same time, then the player moves upwards while charging the move. This results from a mechanic in which if Diddy Kong has any residual knockback when attempting to use the move, it will not disrupt Diddy Kong's momentum like it usually does, including momentum from a jump, and this is amplified by Diddy Kong's gravity being reduced while charging the move, causing his jump to be floaty.

==Customization==
Special Move customization was added in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. These are the variations:
{{CustomSet|DiddyKong|Up|name1=Rocketbarrel Boost|desc1-ntsc=Rocket through the air and tackle opponents. Can be charged for extra distance.|desc1-pal=Boosts you into the air. Charge it for extra height! The Rocketbarrel Pack will fall off if you're hit.|name2=Rocketbarrel Attack|desc2-ntsc=Hits harder than the Rocketbarrel Boost, but doesn't fly quite as well.|desc2-pal=Deals more damage than the Rocketbarrel Boost, but doesn't fly quite so well.|name3=Rocketbarrel Kaboom|desc3-ntsc=Charges faster and steers better, but you'll explode if you hit terrain.|desc3-pal=Charges more quickly and steers more easily, but is guaranteed to explode if you crash.}}
# '''Rocketbarrel Boost''': Default.
# '''Rocketbarrel Attack''': Deals more knockback, but doesn't fly as well. More landing lag.
# '''Rocketbarrel Kaboom''': Faster charge and better steering, but the pack explodes if Diddy hits terrain. It doesn't go as far as Rocketbarrel Boost. Noticeably more landing lag.

==Trophies==
===In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''===
The Rocketbarrel Pack trophy is unlocked by clearing Level 4 of [[Target Smash]].

|desc=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.

===In ''Super Smash Bros. 4''===
The Rocketbarrel Pack trophy is available in both versions. In {{forwiiu}} it is part of the ''Animal Friends and Items'' {{h1|Trophy Box|Animal Friends and Items}}.

==Origin==
[[File:RocketbarrelOrigin.png|thumb|150px|The Barrel Jet in ''Donkey Kong 64''.]]
Rocketbarrel Boost is one of Diddy Kong's moves from ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong 64}}'', which he can purchase from {{s|mariowiki|Cranky's Lab}} from the second level ({{s|mariowiki|Angry Aztec}}) onwards. Diddy Kong uses it to fly in the air for a short time and can also use it with his [[Peanut Popgun]]s to [[Rocketbarrel Barrage|shoot at foes in the air]]. The move also appears in ''{{s|mariowiki|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|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze}}'': a tan cloth backpack containing a single rocket-shaped barrel on a metal arm. Outside of the ''Donkey Kong'' series, it also appeared in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Power Tennis}}'' as a part of Diddy Kong's {{s|mariowiki|Defensive Power Shot}}.

Despite the redesign in ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'', ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'' retain 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 midair 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]].
*In the Japanese versions of ''Brawl'', the Rocketbarrel Pack's other game appearance is labeled ''Mario Power Tennis'' rather than ''Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast/Jet Race''.
