Electroids[1] are enemies in the Donkey Kong Country series. They appear as electric spheres with two beady eyes, being a deep 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 Kongs when touched.
History[edit]
Donkey Kong Country Returns (3D / HD)[edit]
In Donkey Kong Country Returns, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, and Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, Electroids are largely encountered in Factory levels, moving near gaps and narrow passages in the Kongs' path. They 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 the Kongs activate switch platforms that an Electroid passes over, the enemy is pushed off-screen.
They also appear in the 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.
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze[edit]
Electroids are the only enemies in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (and its port) returning from the previous game's Factory world. They only appear in one 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.
