Buzz

Buzzes are robotic replacements for Zingers in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and Donkey Kong Land III.

Description
In this game, Buzzes can are often used as obstacles to Dixie and Kiddy. The Green Buzzes can be defeated by Barrels or a certain type of Animal Buddy. In DKC3, there are also Red types of Buzzes which seemingly appear more powerful and can only be defeated by a TNT Barrel or an Invincibility Barrel.

Their name is a play on words of the onomatopoeia 'buzz', the sound that bees make when they fly, and the buzz-saw in their abdomens. KAOS was probably running out of Zingers due to the commonness of them in previous games and how many are usually defeated in one game. They might have had Buzzes instead because the final boss is a machine builder and the creators probably wanted the game to look that way. Despite this, their wings and bodies seem organic. Buzzes are usually more expendable and troublesome.

They are not very different from regular Zingers, posing as common and pestering enemies, except the regular colors are always green and the invincible versions are always red. The red versions also share the red Zinger's weakness of a deadly TNT Barrel.

Trivia

 * Despite their regular colors being green or red, official artwork shows them being pink in color.
