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.

Despite the redesign in ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'', ''Smash 4'' retains the move's appearance from ''Donkey Kong 64''. | |||
