Bazza
From the Super Mario Wiki
Bazzas are long, green barracuda-like fish found in the games Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and Donkey Kong Land 3. In the SNES game, they can only be found in one level, aptly named Bazza's Blockade , while in the Gameboy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country 3, they also appear in several Pacifica levels such as Sunken Spruce or Ripcurl Reef.
Bazzas live in underwater holes which they constantly swim in and out of in a straight line. They can also use tree trunks and large broken branches as hideouts, in "Sunken Spruce". If Dixie Kong or Kiddy Kong swims to close to a Bazza, the fish will bite the Kong. These enemies can only be defeated by Enguarde the Swordfish, so most of the time the Kongs will have to avoid them. As revealed in the GBA remake, Bazzas can live in both soft and salted water.
Bazzas are the aquatic equivalent of Swoopys and Lemguins, other enemy creatures with attack patterns similar to the dangerous fish.
[edit] Trivia
- In a beta screenshot for the SNES version of Donkey Kong Country 3, Bazza appeared as a blue eel-like creature. Oddly, this screenshot was featured on the game's box.
- According to the game's credits, Bazzas belong to the "Aquatic Attackers" enemy class.
