-'''Electroids'''<ref>Knight, Michael. ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] Official Game Guide. Page 27.</ref> are enemies which appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', and ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. They resemble encaged spheres of electric matter with two beady eyes. They are purple in ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'', but in ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'' they gain a bluish tint, which corresponds to the game's arctic theme. Electroids are usually encountered in groups, forming electrical links between them that damage the [[Kong]]s when touched.

 ==History==
 ===''Donkey Kong Country Returns''===
-In ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' and ''Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D'', Electroids only appear in the [[Factory (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Factory]] levels, moving near gaps and narrow passages in the [[Kong]]s' path. Electroids can generally not be defeated except if the Kongs throw a [[BuckBomb]] at one. In the level [[Switcheroo]], Electroids hover in front of [[reversible wall]]s, which appear in the background. When [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] activate switch platforms that an Electroid passes over, the enemy is pushed off-screen.

Electroids 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 [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] activate switch platforms that an Electroid passes over, the enemy is pushed off-screen.
 ===''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''===
-In ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', Electroids are the only returning enemy from the previous game's Factory world. They only appear in one level, [[Frozen Frenzy (level)|Frozen Frenzy]]. They either hover along a set path in midair or in place. Some of them appear beneath platforms with wired vines on either side. By touching a wire, an Electroid creates a current of electricity throughout the entire object. The Kongs must avoid getting in contact with the electricity or otherwise they lose health. This means if the Kongs tilt a platform too far, then the wire touches Electroid, thus electrocuting the whole platform and injuring the Kongs.
