'''Bazzas''' are long, green {{wp|barracuda}}-like fish enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. Bazzas live in the holes of the coral reefs, where an indefinite number continuously swims in and out of from one side to the other. In this regard, they are essentially the aquatic equivalent of [[Swoopy|Swoopies]] and [[Lemguin]]s, which are other enemies with similar attack patterns. [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] or [[Kiddy Kong]] must avoid Bazzas, else it bites them. Bazzas can be defeated by [[Enguarde]] only, like with most other underwater enemies. A photograph of a Bazza appears in [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], in which it falls under the "[[Dixie Kong's Photo Album#Aquatic Attackers|Aquatic Attackers]]" enemy class.
'''Bazzas''' are long, green [[wikipedia:barracuda|barracuda]]-like fish found in the games ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. In the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] game, they can only be found in one level, aptly named [[Bazza's Blockade]] , while in the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', they also appear in several [[Pacifica]] levels such as [[Sunken Spruce]] or [[Ripcurl Reef]]. According to the game's credits, Bazzas belong to the "[[Aquatic Attackers]]" enemy class.


In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', Bazzas only appear in one level, [[Bazza's Blockade]]. In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], they also appear in three [[Pacifica]] levels, including [[Stormy Seas]], [[Sunken Spruce]] (where they can also use tree trunks and large broken branches as hideouts), and [[Ripcurl Reef]]. In ''Donkey Kong Land III'', Bazzas appear in all three coral levels: [[Seabed Shanty]], [[Coral Quarrel]], and [[Deep Reef Grief]].
Bazzas live in underwater holes which they constantly swim in and out of in a straight line. They can also use tree trunks and large broken branches as hideouts, in "Sunken Spruce". If [[Dixie Kong]] or [[Kiddy Kong]] swims too close to a Bazza, the fish will bite the [[Kong]]. These enemies can only be defeated by [[Enguarde the Swordfish]], so most of the time the Kongs will have to avoid them. As revealed in the Game Boy Advance remake, Bazzas can live in both fresh and salt water.

Bazzas are the aquatic equivalent of [[Swoopy]]s and [[Lemguin]]s, other enemy creatures with attack patterns similar to the dangerous fish.
 
==Trivia==
*In a [[List of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! beta elements|beta screenshot]] for the SNES version of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', Bazza appeared as a blue eel-like creature. Oddly, this screenshot was featured on the game's box.
*Bazza seems to be a recurring name in games by [[Rare Ltd.|Rare]].  In addition to the fish, it is also the name of a brand of battery found in ''[[wikipedia:Banjo-Tooie|Banjo-Tooie]]'' and a dung beetle in ''[[wikipedia:Conker's Bad Fur Day|Conker's Bad Fur Day]]''.
