-'''Buzzes''' are robotic wasps<ref>[[Media:Twitterpost Buzz.jpeg|Twitter confirmation by former Rare employee Mark Stevenson]]</ref> that appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. They have legs made of metal and a buzzsaw in their abdomen, though their bodies and wings appear to be organic.

-Buzzes act as the successor to [[Zinger]]s, an organic wasp species from the previous two ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land (series)|Donkey Kong Land]]'' games. Buzzes are comparable to Zingers in numerous ways, such as being one of the most common enemies in both of their game appearances. Buzzes have the same behavior and attacks as Zingers and are among the harder enemies to defeat. Similar to Zingers, Buzzes have a standard type (which are green rather than yellow) and a less common red variant, which are almost invulnerable entirely, except to certain objects such as [[TNT Barrel]]s. In artwork, red Buzzes appear magenta.

 Buzz's name directly references the onomatopoeia "buzz," which both represents the sound made by wasps as they fly and the sound of a buzzsaw. Their name might have been derived from the "buzz" prefix of buzzsaw.
