Buzzes are bee-like robots in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and Donkey Kong Land 3. They, for the most part, replaced the annoying bee enemies - Zingers - from Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong Country 2.
They are very common in DKC3, usually posing as irritating obstacles. Green Buzzes can be defeated by a thrown Barrel or certain Animal Buddies, but the tough Purple Buzzes (colored red in the GBA version) can only be defeated by a TNT Barrel or an Invincibility Barrel.
Buzzes are robotic; their legs are metal and they have a buzzsaw in their abdomen, however their bodies seem to be organic, as do their wings.
