Bazukas are redKremling enemies that appear inDonkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! andDonkey Kong Land III. They carry around a large bazooka cannon, which they are named after. They are the successor toKannons fromDonkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest.
Bazukas have spiky crests on their head and their tail, which give them a dragon-like appearance, and a yellow belly. Bazukas shoot out eitherbarrels,Steel Barrels, orTNT Barrels from their cannon. A red laser sight is on the top of their cannon, and it is used for aiming.
History
Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!
InDonkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, Bazukas shoot out an indefinite number of either barrels, Steel Barrels, and TNT Barrels.Dixie andKiddy Kong often have to bounce on their projectiles to get across gaps or to reach hidden areas andBonus Barrels. Bazukas first appear in the levelBlazing Bazukas, as the main enemy and feature, and return inKoindozer Klamber,Criss Kross Cliffs, andTyrant Twin Tussle. In Criss Kross Cliffs, a Bazuka will continuously blast TNT Barrels or Steel Barrels upward, depending on the setting on theSwitch Barrel. Dixie and Kiddy must bounce on the Steel Barrels to progress up into the level. Bazukas can only be defeated if Kiddy or Dixie throw a TNT Barrel at them (which can only be done inBlazing Bazukas near theSquitterBarrel), as their large cannons protect them from any other attack method. Levels with a Bazuka often require one to defeatKoin for itsDK Coin; as the Bazuka fires Steel Barrel at the Koin, the Kongs must go behind Koin for it to be hit from behind. InDixie Kong's Photo Album, a Bazuka is categorized under theKremling Kreeps category.
Donkey Kong Land III
Bazukas appear as enemies inDonkey Kong Land III. Unlike the previous game, Bazukas cannot be defeated, mainly because there is never an opportunity to use a nearby TNT Barrel on one. Bazukas once again are in a level title,Bazuka Bombard, though only a few appear there.
