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 are comparable to Zingers in numerous ways, such as being one of the most common enemies in both of their game appearances. 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 (once named a '''Red Zinger'''<ref>''Nintendo Power'' volume 91, page 59.</ref>), which are almost completely invulnerable, except to certain objects such as [[TNT Barrel]]s.

==History==

===''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''===

In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', Buzzes are the most common enemy, especially the green variant. They cannot be defeated by [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] directly, but can be defeated by most other attacks, such as throwing a [[barrel]] at them or attacking them with an [[Animal Friend]]. Red Buzzes can usually only be defeated by a TNT Barrel or an [[Invincibility Barrel]], although in [[Krack Shot Kroc]], a red Buzz gets defeated if hit by one of [[Kroc]]'s [[fireball]]s. In the final level [[Rocket Rush (level)|Rocket Rush]], the [[Rocket Barrel]]'s exhaust flames can defeat Buzzes, which turn black when defeated, although in the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, this only defeats green Buzzes and does not make them turn black.

===''Donkey Kong Land III''===

===''Diddy Kong Pilot'' (2003 version)===

Purple Buzzes home in on the nearest opponent (similar to [[Red Shell]]s in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series). They appear in quantities of either one, two, or three. A Blue Buzz instead homes on the racer in first place (similar to the [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shells]] in the ''Mario Kart'' series), and it can only be obtained by racers in lower places. When either type crashes into a racer, they briefly fall down and bounce onto the ground. The player can dodge a Buzz by either using a [[Zinger]] or by performing a loop by pressing {{button|GBA|L}} and Up on the {{button|GBA|pad}}.
