Variant ofBarrel

Merfle Barrels,[1] also known asMerfle cages[2] are objects inWario Land: Shake It! These arebarrel-shaped cages are used by theShake King to imprison theMerfles, andWario has to find the Merfle Barrel in a level, usually at the end of it, pick up the Merfle Barrel, and frantically shake it to free the Merfle, initiating a timer that prompts Wario to hurry back to the start of the stage. Wario can neither throw the Merfle Barrel nor walk while holding it. Certain levels likeLaunchpad Labyrinth andLowdown Depths have the Merfle Barrels located roughly at the beginning of the level instead, with an obstacle preventing Wario from heading back to the starting point once the Merfle is freed, prompting him to navigate through the entire level on a time limit to get back. In some levels, there are blue, metallic blocks that will break once Wario destroys a Merfle Barrel, granting access further into the area. InSubwarine levels, Merfle Barrels are smaller, and the Merfle inside one breaks out by itself once thegate at the end of the level is destroyed.
