| | '''Electroids''' are enemies, which appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''. They are purple electric spheres with two eyes, which are locked in round cages full of a violet matter. Generally, Electroids make a electricity line, linking each other. They only appear in the [[Factory (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Factory]] area, moving near holes and narrow tunnels that the Kongs must pass. In [[Switcheroo]], they can be eliminated if the Kongs activate the colored switch platforms that the Electroids are contacted in, causing them to be pushed out of the area. |

Electroids 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'' / ''Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D''===
| |
| Electroids are encountered in the [[Factory (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Factory]] levels only, 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.
| |
| | |
| They also appear in the [[Cloud (world)|Cloud]] level [[Robo Factory]] as an obstacle for Kongs not to activate the robot. The energy produced by Electroids activate some pistons that fall when they pass through these, which can damage the Kongs.

| Electroids are the only enemies in ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'' returning 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. | |
