King Zing

King Zing (Japanese: キングＢ, King B) is the boss of Krazy Kremland in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2. He appears in the level King Zing Sting. When Diddy and Dixie Kong first enter the level, they will see a Squawks Barrel where they must jump into to transform into Squawks to fight King Zing.

King Zing Sting
In order for Squawks to score a hit on King Zing, he had to hit King Zing's stinger with his coconuts. After a coconut hits King Zing, he will start to flash yellow and red before returning to normal; resuming his normal patrol around the level but a little faster. If Squawks hits him again, he will turn red and start chasing Squawks while shooting out stingers in all directions three times before returning to his normal state.

After Squawks hits him in the stinger a few more times, he will transform into a normal Zinger and will turn red and shield himself with four yellow Zingers that will surround him. King Zing will then start chasing Squawks again. Squawks had to defeat all four of the Zingers. Once they are all defeated, King Zing will become a yellow Zinger and it will take three more times hits to finally defeat him. If he isn't quick enough at defeating all of them, the yellow Zingers will then regenerate.

In the Game Boy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, King Zing is hardly changed. The only difference is that he gives up his own speed for the pace of his stingers moving in all directions.

Trivia

 * Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong show a shocked expression before they fight a boss. However, they do not express shock when facing King Zing.
 * Oddly, Screech's theme song plays in the Game Boy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country 2, while King Zing is chasing Rambi through the stage, despite that the original song is still present in the sound test menu. It is unknown if this is a mistake or if it is intentional.
 * Interestingly enough, Rambi encountered King Zing in the level Rambi Rumble (just before the actual boss battle). King Zing was immune to Rambi's attacks, which forced him to get through a swarm of Zingers to reach the goal.
