Barrels O' Fun is the 6th level of World 4: The Demon Realm. It is based on the level of the Hell on Earth MAP23 of the same name from DOOM 2.
Layout[]
This level takes place inside a toxic facility that is packed to the gills with explosive barrels. In the original game, Doom Slayer traveled to this area as Earth had been invaded by the demons. The remaining human leaders planned to use the spacecraft to evacuate the survivors of Earth's population but needed the starport for the ships to depart, and the demons' area protected it with a force field. So it was up to the Doom Slayer to kill as many demons as possible and save humanity from extinction.
These barrels explode when hit with a projectile or shell and are often arranged in long rows, allowing for explosive chain reactions should one detonate. Also adding to the danger is the fact that these barrels are often the only "solid ground" between you and a vat of deadly acid; should the barrel explosions not kill the player, the acid will most definitely finish the job and which result the instant death.
Throughout the level, these barrels are arranged in unique and often puzzle-like formations, requiring the player to use their wits in order to proceed. Most of the enemies, such as Imps, Skeletons, and Bob-ombs, are either capable of exploding or can throw or spit projectiles that can cause the barrels to explode, forcing the player to quickly respond, whether by quickly defeating the enemies by drawing their fire away from the barrels.
After all of that, the player gets to the flagpole to clear the level as they exit the facility and go to Brimstone Factory next.
Alternately, there is a secret key in one of the areas by not blowing up the barrels, which leads to a path to the keyhole to unlock Poison Aqueduct on the map.

Dialogue:[]
- Message Block: Those barrels over there have some extremely flammable substance inside them!
- Message Block: Be VERY careful what you, or enemies, do around them. If the barrels ignite, better get back!
Trivia:[]
- The music used in this level is the "Bye Bye American Pie" theme from the 1994 video game DOOM 2.
- In the v0.88 update of Mushroom Kingdom Fusion, the following enemies were removed from the level: Skeleton Murderers, Red Arremers, SMB3 Koopa Troopas, and blue Beach Koopas.
- Originally, the last area was a RUN! section, where an Imp sets off a massive chain reaction behind the player, forcing them to run away to keep ahead of the blast while various demon enemies stand in the way and not plummet into the acid below. However, it was removed in the v0.88 update.
