Queen B.

An angry Queen B.

Queen B. is the queen of the Zingers (and a Zinger herself). She is the guardian of Vine Valley and the third boss of Donkey Kong Country. In battle, Queen B. attempts to stab Donkey or Diddy Kong with her massive stinger. Since she has spikes on her back, Queen B. cannot be stomped. To defeat this large Zinger, Donkey or Diddy had to throw Barrels at the her. Once hit, Queen B. would be damaged. She would then go on a rampage, turning red in the process. During this phase, Queen B. was invulnerable and the Kong heroes simply had to avoid her attacks. In this stage, Queen B. will start moving up and down. As the boss progresses, the queen will start moving at a faster pace. After, calming down, Donkey or Diddy could throw another Barrel at her, starting the process over. After five Barrel hits, Queen B. was defeated. She has not been seen since.

In the Game Boy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country, Queen B. is protected by normal Zingers, each time flying in different formations around her. These Zingers must be destroyed before Queen B. can be attacked.

Trivia

• It is possible that Queen B. is connected to King Zing, the Zinger king from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, but this is unknown.
