Due to their placement in what is evidently an amusement park of artificial origin, it can be assumed the Zingers infested the area and made their home there with or without the Kremlings' consent. The species originate from Crocodile Isle, where they live within massive hives mostly found in the island's region of Krazy Kremland. It is in this game that the Zingers' ecology was revealed. Active Zingers are now found in two color variations only: the standard yellow and the highly durable red type, with the latter being resistant to all animal buddies, regular barrels, treasure chests and kannonballs. Their abdomen have a smooth surface instead of their prior irregular shape. The most notable difference are their legs and mandibles, both of which are now yellow instead of brown. Zingers would return in Donkey Kong Country 2 sporting a slightly altered appearance. It was only in the sequel were the origin and natural habitat of the species became known.ĭonkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest/ Donkey Kong Land 2 Rool, it was evidently not a place fit for her kind. is found in the hollow interior of a banana hoard she was guarding for King K. Zingers were essentially the same in Donkey Kong Country's follow up, Donkey Kong Land, aside from color degrading due to the Game Boy's hardware limitations.ĭespite the sheer number of Zingers and the presence of Queen B., no structure that could be considered a home for them was ever seen. Green Zingers have a crescent trajectory.

#Zinger level donkeykong country 2 series#
Zingers are seemingly eusocial insects, with the first two games in the Donkey Kong Country series indicating the species are ruled by a pair of larger Zingers, the Queen B. In Donkey Kong 64, there is a robot variant known as Mecha-Zinger. They all share the durability of the basic yellow Zingers, except for the Red Zingers. Zingers come in many different color swaps in the original Donkey Kong Country and even more so in its Game Boy Advance remake. They can only be defeated with the use of barrels, kannonballs, some animal buddies or the weapons that were introduced in Donkey Kong 64. The slightest contact will defeat a Kong in the Donkey Kong Country trilogy, though in later games the heroes were given more health to help deal with this problem. Zingers have a pair of antennae, wings, mandibles and three pairs of legs, however the full-grown adults are never seen using their legs for any purpose whatsoever (including for walking), even in official rendered artwork.ĭue to the stingers covering a large portion of their bodies, Zingers cannot be defeated with a normal jump attack or a roll/cartwheel from the Kongs. A prominent stinger can be found at the tip of their abdomens while a set of usually smaller stingers line up the back of said abdomens. Instead of compound-eyes, they only feature two massive eyes closely joined together. Zingers heavily resemble wasps but are much larger, reaching the size of Diddy Kong. 2.3 Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!/ Donkey Kong Land III.2.2 Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest/ Donkey Kong Land 2.2.1 Donkey Kong Country/ Donkey Kong Land.
