“Where does K. Rool keep getting these giant Zingers from?”
Cranky Kong , Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)

Zingers, also shortened as Zings,[1] are large wasps[2] (erroneously identified as bees)[3] with protective spikes on their abdomen. Zingers are usually colored yellow with black stripes. Zingers first appear in Donkey Kong Country . Zingers were designed by Steve Mayles, who dislikes wasps in real life, and was scared while designing the Zingers.[4] [2]

There are some entities similar to Zingers. In Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and Donkey Kong Land III , they were replaced with the robotic Buzzes. In Donkey Kong Country Returns 's Tiki Zings have some similarities to Zingers in that they are usually used as indestructible obstacles against the Kongs; however, Flaming Tiki Buzzes are also functionally similar in that they can be defeated in special ways, with Blue Hootzes continuing that role in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze .

History[edit ]

Donkey Kong Country series[edit ]

Donkey Kong Country[edit ]

“Zingers sport spikes on their backs! You can't jump on them unless you're riding Winky!”
Cranky Kong , Donkey Kong Country

Zingers are common enemies in Donkey Kong Country. The spikes on their back protect them from being stomped by the player characters unless they are riding Winky. Zingers have to be avoided, such as in Forest Frenzy, where most of the level involves moving around Zingers as they move across abysses on a vertical rope. Zingers have four color variations: yellow, orange, pink, and green. Their flight pattern is determined by their color; yellow Zingers fly vertically, orange Zingers fly horizontally, pink Zingers fly in a circular path, and green Zingers fly in a U-shape formation. There is a large Zinger boss named Queen B. who is fought in Vine Valley, in Bumble B. Rumble. In the second remake, she can summon Zingers in battle.

The game data features unused silver and blue palettes of Zingers.

Zinger palettes differ in later versions. In the first remake, due to technical limitations, there are only yellow Zingers for every behavior. In the second remake, the pink ones now use the previously unused silver coloration, with one of every color including pink and purple appearing during the ending cast roll. Compared to the original unused palettes, the silver and purple ones have swapped wing colors.

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest[edit ]

A Zinger's updated design for Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest

Zingers return in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest , acting like they do in the first game. Their design has been tweaked slightly, their pupils are slightly smaller, their legs and mandibles share the same color as their abdomen, which, alongside their legs, sport a slightly different shape. Their buzzing also sounds different from the previous game, being deeper. They only come in two colors in this game: the standard yellow type and the more resistant red variety; although a green one is also found in the game data. More Animal Friends can defeat Zingers than in Donkey Kong Country, including Squawks' nuts, Squitter's web projectiles, or either Rattly or Rambi stomping them. Zingers cannot be attacked by the Kongs directly, even team up, unlike most enemies, but the invincibility effects of a Invincibility Barrel or TNT Barrels can defeat them instantly.

Many levels feature Zingers, some of which also fly around in an area of the Crocodile Isle map, surrounding Krazy Kremland. One of the level settings is a Zinger hive, with larval and pupal Zingers visible in the background, as well as a lot of honey, despite Zingers being wasps, since real-life wasps cannot produce honey. Most Zinger hives appear in Krazy Kremland, which is located on a Zinger-infested swamp, and also has a large Zinger boss named King Zing, who becomes a Zinger after many hits and surrounds himself with Zingers to defend himself.

In the ending, Zingers are categorized within the Lazy Landlubbers enemy class.

Donkey Kong Country novel[edit ]

A single Zinger appears as an antagonist in the Donkey Kong Country novel. Upon entering the Kremling's factory, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong and Cranky Kong eavesdrop on Zinger complaining to his co-worker Klap Trap about King K. Rool's absence. Klap Trap then notices the group and Zinger lunges at Donkey Kong, only to be defeated by being hand slapped (which is not possible in the games).

Club Nintendo[edit ]

A Zinger appears in the Club Nintendo comic "Donkey Kong Country" as an enemy of Donkey and Diddy Kong. However, it does not attack the pair until Donkey Kong swears at the wasp. Ultimately, DK defeats the Zinger (which, like every enemy in the comic, is able to speak) by doing a special rolling move and then kicking the enemy. When defeated, the Zinger claims that its stinger is deformed.

Donkey Kong Land series[edit ]

A comparison between a Zinger's design in Donkey Kong Land and Donkey Kong Land 2

Zingers appear in the first two games of the Donkey Kong Land series, Donkey Kong Land and Donkey Kong Land 2 . In both games, they are aerial enemies appearing in most levels. Unlike in the Donkey Kong Country series, Zingers do not have distinguishable colors due to the Game Boy's monochrome screen, but they behave exactly like the yellow types.

Uniquely to Donkey Kong Land, Zingers had their sprite changed to vertically oriented instead of horizontal, and their stinger more outwardly faces the Kongs. Expresso can now jump on them without taking damage.

In Donkey Kong Land 2, Zingers are classified under "The Baddies" during the ending cast roll.

Donkey Kong 64[edit ]

Zingers are enemies in Donkey Kong 64 . They reuse their Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest design, albeit without their antennae due to the Nintendo 64’s graphical limitations. Unlike previous games, Zingers are only seen in yellow. They dive-bomb at the active Kong on sight in DK Isles and some of the earlier levels, while other Zingers drop unripe green Oranges upon noticing them. A Zinger can be defeated by an orange, a musical instrument move, or being shot by a projectile. Unlike the dive-bombing Zingers, the orange-dropping ones will generally respawn after defeating them. Zingers also appear in Jungle Japes, Angry Aztec, Gloomy Galleon (where one is inside of a mechanical fish), Fungi Forest during the daytime (Bats replace them at night), and Crystal Caves. If a Zinger falls into the sand in Angry Aztec from being defeated, it disappears in a burst of flames without releasing any watermelon slice.

Zingers have a robotic variety named Mechanical Zingers, which appear in Frantic Factory in place of Zingers.

Donkey Konga series[edit ]

Zingers are obstacles featured in the 100M Vine Climb minigame of Donkey Konga . They fly across the screen and can cause Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong to fall off of the vines on contact, before they respawn seconds later. In Donkey Konga 2 , Zingers appear in the Busy Beehive background, and larval Zingers appear in the Sleepy Beehive background. Artwork of a Zinger can appear in Freestyle Zone while the player plays the DK Bongos in both Donkey Konga 2 and Donkey Konga 3 .

DK series[edit ]

Zingers are enemies in DK: King of Swing (appearing in three levels: Cactus Woods, Lockjaw Falls, and Booster Barrel Skyway) and DK: Jungle Climber . Zingers behave identically in both games and sport updated designs. Their legs and mandibles have been reverted to their brown color and they sport an angry expression in the former game’s artwork, while in the latter game, their spikes and stinger have a silver color, and their wings are more simplistic, lacking veins and sporting a light yellow color. They move by continuously flying back and forth in a set horizontal or vertical pattern. They have spikes on their back and a stinger, which protect them from Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong's charge attack. If either Kong touches or performs a charge attack into a Zinger's spikes or stinger, they take one heart of damage. A Zinger can be defeated by either a charge attack into the front or from the Going Bananas move.

In DK: Jungle Climber, Zingers appear in most of the levels and across all worlds. They behave largely the same as in DK: King of Swing, but some of them now fly in circles. Zingers can now be taken out with a Crystal Star due to it replacing Going Bananas. Defeating a Zinger grants the player five gems, though some Zinger yield Banana Coins upon being dispatched.

Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast[edit ]

Zingers in Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast are depicted larger than before and reuse their Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest design, though their wings have no veins and are pale yellow. They are enemies on the racetracks DK Jungle, DK Jungle Falls, DK Jungle Sunset, Scorching Canyon and Cranky's Temple. They fly around in a set pattern and can be defeated from one hit. They also appear in two of Candy's Challenges, where Donkey Kong needs to beat a set amount of Zingers on the Practice Course before time expires.

Donkey Kong Bananza[edit ]

Zingers make a return in Donkey Kong Bananza . They appear in the Planet Core as well as New Donk City, behaving identically to Buzzoids, by carrying small chunks of terrain and throwing them at Donkey Kong. They make their Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest death sound when defeated. Their design is based on their DK: King of Swing artwork with their angry-looking eyes, but with their legs segmented and colored orange (as well as their chelicerae) and the tips of their stinger and spikes white. Fossilized Zingers encased in amber can also be found in the Freezer Layer.

In the DK Island & Emerald Rush DLC, a statue of a Zinger can be collected and placed on the deck of Gangplank Galleon.

Super Smash Bros. series[edit ]

Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit ]

A Zinger is one of the stickers in Super Smash Bros. Brawl . It can be equipped to any fighter in The Subspace Emissary, making them more resistant to slashing moves by five points.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U[edit ]

A Zinger trophy can be unlocked randomly in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U . The Zinger’s posed after its DK: King of Swing artwork. It erroneously claims that yellow Zingers fly up and down and red Zingers in circles based on their behavior in Donkey Kong Country, but some exceptions occur in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, such as those in Bramble Scramble and Screech's Sprint.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit ]

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate , there is a Novice-class Shield-type primary spirit of Zinger with no support slots that simply raises a fighter's power without granting any special effects. A Zinger is consumed by one of Galeem's beams of light during the opening cutscene of Adventure Mode: World of Light,[5] where its spirit is located on the DK Island sub-world of the Light Realm map, on the Reptile Rumble spot. The spirit's puppet fighter, Pikachu, has increased throw power, is fought on the Ω form of The Great Cave Offensive stage, and only Unira spawn during the battle. A Zinger's core can be combined with a Princess Shroob core to summon a spirit of Queen Sectonia.

WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase[edit ]

In DK Country, one of 18-Volt's microgames from WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase , a red Zinger must be avoided when the player shoots Diddy Kong out of a Bonus Barrel.

Unused appearances[edit ]

Donkey Kong Racing[edit ]

Donkey Kong Racing pre-release screenshot: Taj and Donkey Kong on some Zingers.
Taj and Donkey Kong racing on Zingers in the trailer for the canceled Donkey Kong Racing

In the canceled Donkey Kong Racing , part of the trailer showed Donkey Kong and Taj racing each other on Zingers in a forest area. This suggests that Zingers would have been rideable vehicles. At the end of the trailer, Taj moves past the slogan "Let's Ride" as he rides a Zinger.

Diddy Kong Pilot (2003)[edit ]

Zingers are defensive items in the 2003 build of Diddy Kong Pilot . If a racer has a Zinger, they can drop it behind to protect them from an incoming Buzz. If a racer flies into the Zinger, their plane briefly crashes onto the ground. A Zinger breaks if a character or object crashes into it. Like Buzzes, it is possible for racers to pick up three Zingers at once. Zingers were replaced by Ice Eggs in the final game, Banjo-Pilot .
