Mechanical Zingers[1] are enemies in Donkey Kong 64. These purple-and-yellow striped robotic Zingers 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 Kongs 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.
