Sorry, it's a ytmnd...

Yeah, it really is.

Every other barrel is controlled just by continually jumping on it, up and down. When you get to that one, the natural instinct is to jump up and down. What's more is that eventually you get really, really close to maybe being able to inch your way if you squeeeze in between the ceiling and the barrel, so you keep jumping, hoping for JUST A LITTLE MORE and your timing gets thrown off and you have to start all over.

It's sort of akin to continually missing a near-ceiling jump in a platform game only to find out you could just walk over the gap.
