Mechanical Zingers[1] are purple-and-yellow striped robotic Zingers and enemies in Donkey Kong 64. Mechanical Zingers sport a propeller on their head, allowing them to stay airborne, and have a pair of small wheels for feet. Mechanical Zingers appear only in Frantic Factory, where they are present throughout, and briefly in one of Lanky Kong's Hideout Helm challenges, where three Mechanical Zingers have to be shot down. Mechanical Zingers try to attack the Kongs by dropping unripened, green oranges out of a hatch on their undersides, similarly to Zingers, though unlike them, Mechanical Zingers do not attempt to dive-bomb at the player character. Mechanical Zingers are slightly more durable than normal Zingers: Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong need two hits to defeat them, while Lanky Kong and Tiny Kong need three. Mechanical Zingers can be defeated instantly from Chunky Kong blasting a pineapple at them, or from either an orange or a Kong's musical instrument move. After being hit by any Kong other than Chunky, a Mechanical Zinger will fly erratically and start smoking, though this does not defeat them. The proper indicator for when a Mechanical Zinger is defeated is when it spews thick black smoke while descending.
