Bazzas are long, green barracuda-like fish enemies in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and Donkey Kong Land III. Bazzas live in the holes of the coral reefs, where an indefinite number continuously swims in and out of from one side to the other. In this regard, they are essentially the aquatic equivalent of Swoopies and Lemguins, which are other enemies with similar attack patterns. Dixie or Kiddy Kong must avoid Bazzas, else it bites them. Bazzas can be defeated by one Animal Friend (Enguarde only), like with most other underwater enemies. A photograph of a Bazza appears in Dixie Kong's Photo Album, in which it falls under the "Aquatic Attackers" enemy class.
In Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, Bazzas only appear in one level, Bazza's Blockade. In the Game Boy Advance version, they also appear in three Pacifica levels, including Stormy Seas, Sunken Spruce (where they can also use tree trunks and large broken branches as hideouts), and Ripcurl Reef. In Donkey Kong Land III, Bazzas appear in all three coral levels: Seabed Shanty, Coral Quarrel, and Deep Reef Grief.
