Tiki Zing

Tiki Zings are enemies appearing in the game Donkey Kong Country Returns. They are wooden, circular enemies with an angry-looking face on their front side. They have seven, sharp wood blades attached to their exterior. These enemies can only be defeated with Rambi or the use of a barrel. Otherwise, these enemies are invincible and can only be avoided by jumping over or ducking under them. Tiki Zings usually appear in groups and act as more of a nuisance than an enemy. They usually appear in places that require timed jumps and timed Barrel Cannon firings.Larger versions called Big Zings appear in Wigglevine Wonders.

Trivia

 * Their subname, "Zing" may come from Zinger, a bee-like enemy in the previous Donkey Kong Country games, as they serve a similar purpose of acting as hazards.
