Mechanical Zinger

Mechanical Zinger

Mechanical Zingers are purple and yellow robot Zingers found only in Donkey Kong 64.

Mechanical Zingers are found exclusively in the area Frantic Factory as common enemies. They also have a brief appearance in a minigame in Hideout Helm. Mechanical Zingers, like normal Zingers, will attack the Kongs by dropping unripened, green Oranges on them. Mechanical Zingers are also slightly more durable than their organic counterparts, capable of withstanding two shots from a weapon instead of one; the first shot does cause them to fly erratically and start smoking, however.

Mechanical Zingers, unlike normal Zingers, do not attempt to dive-bomb the Kongs. Mechanical Zingers do not have wings; instead, they have propellers like a helicopter.
