Buzz from Donkey Kong Country 3 3D print model

Buzzes, also named Green Zingers and Buzzers, are robotic wasps that appear in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and Donkey Kong Land III. They have legs made of metal and a buzzsaw in their abdomen, although their body and wings appear to be organic.

Buzzes act as the successor to Zingers, an organic wasp species from the first two installments of both the Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong Land series. Buzzes are comparable to Zingers in numerous ways, such as being one of the most common enemies in both of their game appearances. Buzzes have the same behavior and attacks as Zingers and are among the harder enemies to defeat. Similar to Zingers, Buzzes have a standard type (which are green rather than yellow) and a less common red variant (once named a Red Zinger), which are almost completely invulnerable, except to certain objects such as TNT Barrels.

Buzz's name directly references the onomatopoeia buzz, which can represent the sound made by bees while flying or the sound of a buzzsaw. Their name might have been derived from the buzz prefix of buzzsaw.
