Can I turn a pipe into a sprite generator.?

So the title is a little vague or confusing, so I'll explain.

Basically I was thinking of having one of the drums like from Donkey Kong Country 1, where they would spit the enemies out of the top onto the level. I would need this, and then of course to draw the barrel which would be something in and of it itself as I don't know how to rip graphics.

I was mostly thinking of using this with goombas, but maybe it could be configured differently to spit Bob-ombs, or spinys also.

Anyway to make this happen.?
Just use a custom shooter like this one: https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=16174
It will regularly pop sprites out of thin air at the location you place it, which of course can be your pipe or barrel or whatever.

Fancy pants animations like a sprite hopping out of a vertical pipe would be harder of course, though.
