Zingers also appear in ''Donkey Kong Country''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s "true" sequel ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. They are found in a majority of the levels in this game, except those taking place underwater. This time Zingers only came in two colors, the standard yellow variety, and the red variety (which were completely invincible). Also in this game, Diddy and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] meet an apparent 'king' Zinger, [[King Zing]]. Also of note, [[Crocodile Isle]], the location where the events of ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' takes place, has several Zinger hives on it, mostly in the region known as [[Krazy Kremland]]. This indicates that Crocodile Isle may be the ancestral home of the Zingers, and explains the large amount of Zingers in the game.

Zingers did not appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]'' or ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. They were replaced by a similar enemy, the robotic bees named [[Buzz (species)|Buzz]]es. Zingers returned in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. In this game they are less common than in previous titles and are easier to defeat. In [[Donkey Kong Island|DK Isles]] and the earlier levels, they will simply dive-bomb on sight, but they are easy to avoid. Later on, they will shoot green [[Orange Grenade|grenades]] on sight, making them somewhat harder to avoid. The [[Kong]]s can simply blast the wasp with one of the weapons they can purchase from [[Funky Kong]]. Additionally, a new type of Zinger appears, a robotic variety. These "[[Mecha-Zinger]]s" are found prominently in the level [[Frantic Factory]]. They are also more difficult to defeat, presumably due to being made of metal. | Zingers did not appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]'' or ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''.

Zingers also appear in ''[[Donkey Konga]]'' and as enemies in ''[[DK: King of Swing]]''. Furthermore, Zingers appear as enemies in ''DK: King of Swing''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s sequel ''[[DK Jungle Climber]]''. Some early promotional material showed that Zingers were going to be rideable in the now canceled game ''[[Donkey Kong Racing]]''. In ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'' Zingers appear as obstacles. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', a Zinger appears as a [[sticker]]. It raises resistance to slashing attacks (such as [[Link]]'s sword) by five points. | Zingers also appear in ''[[Donkey Konga]]'' and as enemies in ''[[DK: King of Swing]]''.
