Buzzes act as the successor to [[Zinger]]s, an organic wasp species from the first two installments of both the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land (series)|Donkey Kong Land]]'' series.

Buzzes have the same behavior and attacks as Zingers and are among the harder enemies to defeat. Similar to Zingers, Buzzes have a standard type (which are green rather than yellow) and a less common red variant | Buzzes act as the successor to [[Zinger]]s, an organic wasp species from the first two installments of both the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land (series)|Donkey Kong Land]]'' series.

Their name might have been derived from the "buzz" prefix of buzzsaw. | Buzz's name directly references the onomatopoeia "buzz," which can represent the sound made by bees while flying or the sound of a buzzsaw.
