Queen B.

Queen B. is the queen of the Zingers (and a Zinger herself) appearing in Donkey Kong Country. She is the guardian of Vine Valley and the third boss of the game, appearing in the level Bumble B Rumble. In battle, Queen B. attempts to stab Donkey or Diddy Kong with her massive stinger. Since she has spikes on her back, Queen B. cannot be stomped. To defeat this large Zinger, Donkey or Diddy must throw Barrels at her. Once hit, Queen B. takes damage, causing her to turn red and go on a rampage. During this phase, Queen B. is invulnerable and the Kong heroes simply have to avoid her attacks as she starts moving towards them in a wave motion. When she has calmed down and reverted to her regular color scheme, Donkey or Diddy must throw another Barrel at her, starting the process over. As the fight progresses, the queen gets faster. After five Barrel hits, Queen B. is defeated.

In the Game Boy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country, Queen B., once attacked enough, will split into a red Zinger protected by normal Zingers. These Zingers must be destroyed before Queen B. can be attacked.

Trivia

 * In the Game Boy Advance version, Cranky Kong incorrectly refers to Queen B. as "him" instead of "her".
