| | '''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 3]]''. In the [[SNES]] game, they can only be found in one level, aptly named [[Bazza's Blockade]] , while in the [[Gameboy Advance]] remake of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', they also appear in several [[Pacifica]] levels such as [[Sunken Spruce]] or [[Ripcurl Reef]]. |

| '''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 one [[Animal Friends|Animal Friend]] ([[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. | |

|
| 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 to 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 GBA remake, Bazzas can live in both soft and salted water. |

| ==Gallery== | | 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 [[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. |
| | *According to the game's credits, Bazzas belong to the "[[Aquatic Attackers]]" enemy class. |

| *In [[List of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! pre-release and unused content|early]] screenshots shown in volume 89 of ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' and the back cover of American English and British English releases of ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', Bazza had a more elongated head resembling an actual barracuda's and appeared more bluish, similarly as in its artwork.

| *"Bazza" is a recurring name in games by [[Rare]]. In addition to the ''Donkey Kong Country 3'' enemy, it is also the name of a brand of battery found in ''{{wp|Banjo-Tooie}}'' and a dung beetle in ''{{wp|Conker's Bad Fur Day}}''. In real life, "Bazza" is a common British nickname for names such as "Barry."
