'''Mechanical Zingers'''<ref>{{cite|author=Barton, Jeff, Mario De Govia, and Donato Tica|title=''Donkey Kong 64'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|page={{file link|DK64 Prima 16.jpg|16}}|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|date=December 1, 1999|isbn=0-7615-2279-4|language=en-us}}</ref> are [[List of enemies|enemies]] in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. These purple-and-yellow striped robotic [[Zinger]]s sport a propeller on their head, allowing them to stay airborne, and have a pair of small wheels for feet. Mechanical Zingers appear in [[Frantic Factory]] only and in one of [[Lanky Kong]]'s [[Hideout Helm]] challenges, where three of them have to be taken out. Mechanical Zingers try to attack the [[Kong]]s by dropping unripened, green oranges out of a hatch on their undersides, similarly to Zingers, though unlike them, Mechanical Zingers do not attempt to dive-bomb at the player character. Mechanical Zingers are slightly more durable than normal Zingers, as they can be taken out from two hits from either [[Donkey Kong]] or [[Diddy Kong]] or three hits from either [[Lanky Kong]] and [[Tiny Kong]]. As for [[Chunky Kong]], a Mechanical Zinger can be defeated by him instantly upon being hit by a [[pineapple]]. Mechanical Zingers can also be defeated instantly from either an orange or a Kong's musical instrument move. Otherwise, after being hit by any other Kong, the Mechanical Zinger will fly erratically and begin to smoke, though this does not defeat them. A Mechanical Zinger is defeated once it spews thick, black smoke while descending.


==Names in other languages==
Mechanical Zingers are found exclusively in the area [[Frantic Factory]] as common enemies. They also have a brief appearance in a [[minigame]] in [[Hideout Helm]]. Mechanical Zingers, like normal Zingers, will attack the [[Kong]]s by dropping unripened, green [[Orange]]s on them. Mechanical Zingers are also slightly more durable than their organic counterparts, capable of withstanding two shots from a weapon instead of one; the first shot does cause them to fly erratically and start smoking, however.

Mechanical Zingers, unlike normal Zingers, do not attempt to dive-bomb the Kongs. Mechanical Zingers do not have wings; instead, they have propellers like a helicopter.
