| | |
| | '''Zingers''' are large wasp-like creatures and [[Donkey Kong]]'s most persistent foes, next to the [[Kremling]]s. |
|
| |
|
| There are some entities similar to Zingers. In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', they were replaced with the robotic [[Buzz (enemy)|Buzzes]]. In ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''{{'}}s [[Tiki Zing]]s have some similarities to Zingers in that they are usually used as indestructible obstacles against the Kongs; however, [[Flaming Tiki Buzz]]es are functionally closer in that they can be defeated in special ways, with [[Blue Hootz]]es continuing that role in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''.

| ==History== | | ==History== |
| ===''Donkey Kong Country'' series===
| | [[File:O-Zingers.png|thumb|left|A group of Zingers next to an "O" letter in the [[Game Boy Color]] version of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]].]] |
| ====''Donkey Kong Country''====
| | The first appearance of Zingers is in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. In this game, Zingers, along with [[Necky]]s, [[Gnawty]]s and [[Slippa]]s were one of the most common enemies in the game. Zingers often acted as obstacles in this game, blocking the path of [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Donkey Kong]]. Since the wasp has spikes covering all of its body, a Zinger could not be [[jump]]ed on. The [[Kong]]s would need to throw an object at a Zinger (such as a [[barrel]]) or employ the use of an [[Animal Buddy]] to defeat the baddie. The color of a Zinger is a clue to its flight pattern; they'll either fly vertically, horizontally, in a circular path, or in a U-shaped path. In the game, an apparent 'queen' Zinger is fought as a boss, [[Queen B.]] Zingers are also in ''Donkey Kong Country''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s pseudo-sequel ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. |
| [[File:Zinger.png|thumb|left|150px|A Zinger's original design in ''Donkey Kong Country'']] | |
| Zingers are common enemies in ''Donkey Kong Country''. The spikes on their back protect them from being stomped by the player characters unless they are riding [[Winky]].<ref>{{cite|author=[[Cranky Kong]]|date=1994|title=''Donkey Kong Country''|quote=Zingers sport spikes on their backs! You can't jump on them unless you're riding Winky!|language=en|publisher=Nintendo}}</ref> Zingers have to be avoided, such as in [[Forest Frenzy]], where most of the level involves moving around Zingers as they move across abysses on a vertical rope. Zingers have four color variations: yellow, orange, pink, and green. Their flight pattern is determined by their color; yellow Zingers fly vertically, orange Zingers fly horizontally, pink Zingers fly in a circular path, and green Zingers fly in a U-shape formation. There is a large Zinger boss named [[Queen B.]] who is fought in [[Vine Valley (world)|Vine Valley]], in [[Bumble B. Rumble]]. In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|second remake]], she can summon Zingers in battle. | |
| | |
| The game data features [[tcrf:Donkey Kong Country (SNES)#Zinger|unused silver and blue palettes]] of Zingers.
| |
| | |
| Zinger palettes differ in later versions. In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Color)|first remake]], due to technical limitations, there are only yellow Zingers for every behavior. In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|second remake]], the pink ones now use the previously unused silver coloration, with one of every color including pink and purple appearing during the ending cast roll. Compared to the original unused palettes, the silver and purple ones have swapped wing colors.
| |
| | |
| ====''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''====
| |
| [[File:Zinger DKC2.png|thumb|A Zinger's updated design for ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'']]
| |
| Zingers are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. They appear in yellow and red varieties. Zingers behave similarly as in ''Donkey Kong Country'', once again having varying flight patterns, and Zingers can now be defeated from more [[Animal Friends]] than in ''Donkey Kong Country'', including from [[Squawks]]' nuts, [[Squitter]]'s web projectiles, or being bounced onto by [[Rattly]]. In addition, Diddy and Dixie can defeat them directly if under the effect of an [[Invincibility Barrel]]. Zingers appear in most levels, some of which take place inside of a Zinger hive, with larval and pupal Zingers visible in the background. Most Zinger hives appear in [[Krazy Kremland]], reflected by how Zingers fly around the world on the [[Crocodile Isle]] map. A Zinger boss named [[King Zing]] is even fought at the end of Krazy Kremland, and late into his battle, King Zing shrinks to the size of a Zinger and summons several other small ones to guard him. Although Zingers are often described as wasps, a lot of honey appears in their hives. In the ending, Zingers are categorized within the [[Lazy Landlubbers]] enemy class. | |
| | |
| ===''Donkey Kong Country'' novel===
| |
| A single Zinger appears as an antagonist in the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (novel)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' novel. Upon entering the Kremling's factory, [[Donkey Kong]], [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Cranky Kong]] eavesdrop on Zinger complaining to his co-worker [[Klap Trap]] about [[King K. Rool]]'s absence. Klap Trap then notices the group and Zinger lunges at Donkey Kong, only to be defeated by being hand slapped (which is not possible in the games).
| |
| | |
| ===''Club Nintendo''===
| |
| A Zinger appears in the ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic "[[Donkey Kong Country (comic)|Donkey Kong Country]]" as an enemy of Donkey and Diddy Kong. However, it does not attack the pair until Donkey Kong swears at the wasp. Ultimately, DK defeats the Zinger (which, like every enemy in the comic, is able to speak) by doing a special rolling move and then kicking the enemy. When defeated, the Zinger claims that its stinger is deformed.
| |
| | |
| ===''Donkey Kong Land'' series===
| |
| {{multiframe|[[File:Zinger DKL.PNG]] [[File:Zinger DKL2.png]]|size=150|align=left|A comparison between a Zinger's design in ''Donkey Kong Land'' and ''Donkey Kong Land 2''}}
| |
| Zingers appear in the first two games of the [[Donkey Kong Land (series)|''Donkey Kong Land'' series]], ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. In both games, they are aerial enemies appearing in most levels. Unlike in the [[Donkey Kong Country (series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' series]], Zingers do not have distinguishable colors due to the [[Game Boy]]'s monochrome screen, but they behave exactly like the yellow types.
| |
| | |
| Uniquely to ''Donkey Kong Land'', Zingers had their sprite changed to vertically oriented instead of horizontal, and their stinger more outwardly faces the Kongs. [[Expresso]] can now jump on them without taking damage.
| |
| | |
| In ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', Zingers are classified under "The Baddies" during the ending cast roll.
| |
| {{br|left}}
| |
| | |
| ===''Donkey Kong 64''===
| |
| Zingers are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. They have one of two ways of attacking: In [[DK Isles]] and some of the earlier levels, Zingers dive-bomb at the active Kong on sight, while other Zingers instead drop unripe green [[Orange]]s upon noticing them. Zingers can be defeated from either being hit with ammo from a Kong's weapon, from the effects of a musical instrument move, or by throwing an Orange at it. Aside from DK Isles, Zingers also appear in [[Jungle Japes]], [[Angry Aztec]], [[Fungi Forest]] during the daytime (being replaced by [[Flipflap|Bat]]s at night), and [[Crystal Caves]]. [[Gloomy Galleon]] has only one Zinger, located inside of a mechanical fish. In Angry Aztec, if the player defeats a Zinger and its body falls into the sand, the body disappears in a burst of flames without releasing any [[watermelon]] slice. Unlike the dive-bombing Zingers, the orange-dropping ones will generally respawn after defeating them.
| |
| | |
| Zingers have a robotic variety named [[Mechanical Zinger]]s, which appear in [[Frantic Factory]], although regular Zingers do not.
| |
| | |
| ===''DK'' series===
| |
| Zingers are enemies in ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'' (appearing in three levels: [[Cactus Woods]], [[Lockjaw Falls]], and [[Booster Barrel Skyway]]) and ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]''. Zingers behave identically in both games. They move by continuously flying back and forth in a set horizontal or vertical pattern. They have spikes on their back and a stinger, which protect them from [[Donkey Kong]] or [[Diddy Kong]]'s charge attack. If either [[Kong]] touches or performs a charge attack into a Zinger's spikes or stinger, they take one [[heart]] of damage. A Zinger can be defeated by either a charge attack into the front or from the [[Going Bananas]] move.
| |
| | |
| ===''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast''===
| |
| [[File:Zinger DKBB.png|thumb|A Zinger in ''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast'']]
| |
| Zingers in ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'' are depicted larger than before. They are enemies on the racetracks [[DK Jungle (Donkey Kong Barrel Blast)|DK Jungle]], [[DK Jungle Falls]], [[DK Jungle Sunset]], [[Scorching Canyon]] and [[Cranky's Temple]]. They fly around in a set pattern and can be defeated from one hit. They also appear in two of [[Candy's Challenges]], where [[Donkey Kong]] needs to beat a set amount of Zingers on the [[Practice Course]] before time expires.
| |
| | |
| ===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
| |
| ====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====
| |
| In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', a Zinger is featured as a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]] that can be equipped by any character in [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|The Subspace Emissary]], and doing so raises their resistance to slashing attacks (such as [[Link]]'s sword) by five points. | |
| | |
| ====''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''====
| |
| In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', there is an unlockable Zinger [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]], randomly obtainable in one of the game's modes. The trophy description generalizes that yellow Zingers fly up and down while red Zingers fly in circles based on their behavior in ''Donkey Kong Country'', although ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' depicts some exceptions, such as those in [[Bramble Scramble (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Bramble Scramble]] and [[Screech's Sprint (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Screech's Sprint]].
| |
|
| |
|
| ====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====
| | [[Image:ZingerCN.jpg|thumb|left|The Zinger in the ''[[Club Nintendo]]'' comic.]] |
| In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', there is a Novice-class Shield-type {{iw|smashwiki|primary spirit}} of Zinger with no support slots; when used, it simply raises a fighter's power without granting any special effects. In the game's [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: World of Light|World of Light]] mode, a Zinger is shown in the opening cutscene, being consumed by one of Galeem's beams of light; later, its [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] can be encountered on the {{iw|smashwiki|DK Island (World of Light)|DK Island}} sub-world of the {{iw|smashwiki|Light Realm}} map, on the [[Reptile Rumble]] spot. The spirit's [[smashwiki:False character|puppet fighter]], [[smashwiki:Pikachu (SSBU)|Pikachu]], has increased throw power, and he is fought on the omega form of {{iw|smashwiki|The Great Cave Offensive}} stage, with [[Unira]] being the only items that spawn during the battle. A Zinger's core can be combined with a [[Princess Shroob]] core to summon a spirit of {{iw|wikirby|Queen Sectonia}}.
| | A Zinger appears in the ''[[Club Nintendo]]'' comic "[[Donkey Kong Country (comic)|Donkey Kong Country]]" as an enemy of Donkey and Diddy Kong. However, it does not attack the pair until Donkey Kong swears at the wasp. Ultimately Donkey defeats the Zinger (which, like every enemy in the comic, is able to speak) by doing a special rolling move and then kicking the enemy. When defeated, the Zinger claims that its stinger is deformed. |
|
| |
|
| ===''WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase''===
| | Zingers also appear in ''Donkey Kong Country''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s "true" sequel ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. They are found in a majority of the levels in this game, except those taking place underwater. This time Zingers only came in two colors, the standard yellow variety, and the red variety (which could only be defeated by [[TNT Barrels]]). Also in this game, Diddy and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] meet an apparent 'king' Zinger, [[King Zing]]. Also of note, [[Crocodile Isle]], the location where the events of ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' takes place, has several Zinger hives on it, mostly in the region known as [[Krazy Kremland]]. This indicates that Crocodile Isle may be the ancestral home of the Zingers, and explains the large amount of Zingers in the game. Zingers also appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. |
| In [[DK Country]], one of [[18-Volt]]'s [[microgame]]s from ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase]]'', a red Zinger must be avoided when the player shoots Diddy Kong out of a [[Bonus Barrel]].
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Unused appearances===
| | Zingers did not appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]'' or ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. They were replaced by a similar enemy, the robotic bees named [[Buzz (species)|Buzz]]es. Zingers returned in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. In this game they are less common than in previous titles and are easier to defeat. In [[Donkey Kong Island|DK Isles]] and the earlier levels, they will simply dive-bomb on sight(there is one Zinger in [[Crystal Caves]] (World 6), however, that will also charge after a Kong if spotted), but they are easy to avoid. Later on, they will shoot green [[Orange Grenade|grenades]] on sight, making them somewhat harder to avoid. The [[Kong]]s can simply blast the wasp with one of the weapons they can purchase from [[Funky Kong]]. Additionally, a new type of Zinger appears, a robotic variety. These "[[Mecha-Zinger]]s" are found prominently in the level [[Frantic Factory]]. They are also more difficult to defeat, presumably due to being made of metal. |
| ====''Donkey Kong Racing''====
| |
| [[File:Taj and DK Zingers - Donkey Kong Racing.jpg|thumb|Taj and Donkey Kong racing on Zingers in the trailer for the canceled ''Donkey Kong Racing'']] | |
| In the canceled ''[[Donkey Kong Racing]]'', part of the trailer showed Donkey Kong and [[Taj]] racing each other on Zingers in a forest area. This suggests that Zingers would have been rideable vehicles. At the end of the trailer, Taj moves past the slogan "Let's Ride" as he rides a Zinger.
| |
|
| |
|
| ====''Diddy Kong Pilot'' (2003)====
| | Zingers also appear in ''[[Donkey Konga]]'' and as enemies in ''[[DK: King of Swing]]''. Furthermore, Zingers appear as enemies in ''DK: King of Swing''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s sequel ''[[DK Jungle Climber]]''. Some early promotional material showed that Zingers were going to be rideable in the now canceled game ''[[Donkey Kong Racing]]''. In ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'' Zingers appear as obstacles. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', a Zinger appears as a [[sticker]]. It raises resistance to slashing attacks (such as [[Link]]'s sword) by five points. |
| Zingers are defensive items in the 2003 build of ''[[Diddy Kong Pilot (2003)|Diddy Kong Pilot]]''. If a racer has a Zinger, they can drop it behind to protect them from an incoming Buzz. If a racer flies into the Zinger, their plane briefly crashes onto the ground. A Zinger breaks if a character or object crashes into it. Like Buzzes, it is possible for racers to pick up three Zingers at once. Zingers were replaced by [[jiggywikki:Ice Egg|Ice Egg]]s in the final game, ''[[jiggywikki:Banjo-Pilot|Banjo-Pilot]]''. | |
