Buzzes are bee-like robots in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and Donkey Kong Land 3. They, for the most part, replaced the annoying bee enemies - Zingers - from Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong Country 2.

They are very common in DKC3, usually posing as irritating obstacles. Green Buzzes can be defeated by a thrown Barrel or certain Animal Buddies, but the tougher red Buzzes can only be defeated by a TNT Barrel or an Invincibility Barrel.

Buzzes are robotic; their legs are metal and they have a buzzsaw in their abdomen, however their bodies seem to be organic, as do their wings.

[edit] Trivia

  • Their name is a play on words of the onomatopoeia 'buzz', representing the sound that bees make when they fly, and the 'buzz'-saw in their abdomens.
  • Although Buzzes are colored pink in official art, there are no Buzzes in-game with that color.
  • Buzzes may have inspired the Mecha-Zingers seen in Frantic Factory, in the game Donkey Kong 64.
