Bee (Donkey Kong Jungle Beat)

Bees are a species of bee-like enemies from Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. They do not attack Donkey Kong, but if the ape touches them, he will get hurt. If the Kong claps near them, they will shrink and become harmless, flying around spastically. By doing so again, they will be defeated, providing DK with one beat.

Bees mostly appear in groups, and dwell in various levels throughout the game.

Trivia

 * An unused Bee model exists in Super Mario Galaxy.
 * Choppahs from Super Mario Galaxy 2 may have been inspired by Bees.
