Mechanical Zinger

Mecha-Zingers are purple and yellow robot Zingers found only in Donkey Kong 64.

Mecha-Zingers are found exclusively in the area Frantic Factory as common enemies. They also have a brief appearance in a minigame in Hideout Helm. Mecha-Zingers, like normal Zingers, will attack the Kongs by dropping unripened, green Orange Grenades on them. Mecha-Zingers are also slightly more durable than their organic counterparts, capable of withstanding two shots from a weapon instead of one; the first shot does cause them to fly erratically and start smoking, however.

Mecha-Zingers, unlike normal Zingers, do not attempt to dive-bomb the Kongs. Mecha-Zingers do not have wings; instead, they have propellers like a helicopter.
