-'''Electroids''' are enemies which appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', and ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. They resemble encaged spheres of purple electric matter and sport two eyes. Electroids can be seen levitating in mid-air, usually forming electrical bonds between members of the same species. This leads to the creation of dangerous plasma barriers, which would be harmful to pass.
+'''Electroids'''<ref>Knight, Michael. ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' Prima Official Game Guide. Page 27.</ref> are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', and its Nintendo Switch [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port]]. They appear as electric spheres with two beady eyes, being purple in ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' while displaying a bluish tint in ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'' to correspond to the game's arctic theme. Electroids are usually encountered in groups, forming electrical links between each other that damage the [[Kong]]s when touched.
+==History==
+===''Donkey Kong Country Returns''===
+In ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' and ''Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D'', Electroids only appear in the [[Factory (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Factory]] levels, moving near gaps and narrow passages in the [[Kong]]s' path. Electroids can generally not be defeated except if the Kongs throw a [[BuckBomb]] at one. In the level [[Switcheroo]], Electroids hover in front of [[red and blue blocks]], which appear in the background. When [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] activate switch platforms that an Electroid passes over, the enemy is pushed off-screen.
-Electroids are only present in the [[Factory (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Factory]] area of ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' and ''Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D'', and later return in only [[Frozen Frenzy (level)|one level]] of ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''. In the former, they move near holes and narrow tunnels that the [[Kong]]s must pass. In [[Switcheroo]], some Electroids hover in front of [[Reversible Wall|reversible walls]] initially seen in the background. The enemies can be pushed over and eliminated if the said walls are extended out of their slots.
+===''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''===
+[[File:Electroid.png|thumb]]
+In ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', Electroids are the only returning enemy from the previous game's Factory world. They only appear in one level, [[Frozen Frenzy (level)|Frozen Frenzy]]. They either hover in place or along a set path in midair. Some of them appear beneath platforms with wired vines on either side; tilting the platform too low on one side causes the corresponding wire to make contact with an Electroid, creating a current of electricity throughout the entire mechanism that can harm the Kongs.

-Electroids might represent the spiritual successors of the [[Spark]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Jr.]]''; as electric entities with dot-like cartoony eyes, they can also be visually compared to [[Li'l Sparky|Li'l Sparkies]] or [[Hot Head]]s from the ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' franchise.
