Pyrobots[1] are enemies in Donkey Kong Country Returns and its Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Switch ports. These Ready-Bot enemies are encountered in the Factory only, and they resemble fire hydrants, which is reflected in their Japanese name. There are two types of Pyrobots, both of whom patrol a set area back and forth and occasionally release fire from their arms like a flamethrower before resuming with their march. If Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong come in contact with the fire, they get burned and injured.
The red, older Pyrobot Mk I[2] (also spelled Pyrobot Mk 1)[3] is invulnerable to every attack from the Kongs themselves. However, they can temporarily immobilize a Pyrobot Mk I by jumping on it. A Pyrobot Mk I can only be defeated if the Kongs throw a barrel or a BuckBomb at it.
The yellow, newer-looking Pyrobot Mk II[4] is less durable and can be jumped on three times to be defeated. The Kongs can throw a barrel at a Pyrobot Mk II to instantly defeat it.
In both Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D and Donkey Kong Country Returns HD , the red Pyrobots in Robo Factory shoot fire steams out of their heads while the yellow ones act like normal Pyrobots.
