| So, Tiki Kalimba, Tiki Maraca Trio, Tiki Gong, etc? Anyways, the red-blue one seems to be a cross between a drum and a so-called kalimba (if I'm right), and the guitar-like is surely a banjo. "Piper" looks like a cross between a flute and an air horn (or something). {{User:Arend/sig}}

| I don't think we need to create separate articles for each member. There isn't much to type about other than their appearance and which boss they possess.--{{User|Knife}} 21:27, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

| :::Both of those appeared in more than one game and have individual characteristics (Attack pattern, power, ect). The tikis just appear to posess someone else and that's it. --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] 21:36, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

| |
| Is it possible to just make an article for all those Tiki "ambassadors" at once? I mean with this, to cover Those instrument-like Tikis in one article, or so. {{User:Arend/Sig}}
| |
|
| |
| Okay yeah, now we got this. The Tiki Tak Tribe are a COLLECTIVE, are they not?
| |
|
| |
| Just like the Koopalings. In which case, they should have just one article and sections within on each of them.

| We don't need sections either. You can't compare this to Koopalings or Star Spirits because they all have official names, a different role in the story, different abilities, and unique personalities. These enemies aren't even officially named individually and they don't have any characteristics separating each other besides their appearances. I don't think creating a new collective article is a good idea either since the only thing separating these Tikis from the rest of them is that they possess enemies rather than fight themselves. Not to mention that the collective article would have to be conjectural as well.--{{User|Knife}} 23:49, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

| :I see now. In that case, no article. {{User:Bowser's luma/sig}}

| |
| Well, if they went through all that trouble to name all the other enemies and bosses but not these guys, then that's Retro's own fault. [[User:BooDestroyer|BooDestroyer]] 02:18, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

| In Thugly's trophy description in [[Super Smash Bros 4]], the World 6 tiki is named Xylobone. Does this count for anything? [[User:Phineas81707|Phineas81707]] ([[User talk:Phineas81707|talk]]) 07:45, 3 December 2014 (EST)

| ==Setting the record straight==
| |
|
| |
| So not long ago, I've gone and hit up Prima over Facebook about the names of those other Tiki leaders. I told them already about Kalimba Tiki, Gong Tiki, Banjo Tiki, and Xylophone Tiki.
| |
| Then they filled me in on those last three: '''Maraca Bros. '''(apparently),''' Panflute Tiki''', and '''Accordion Tiki'''.
| |
| So there it is. This is as official as it gets. Straight from the people who were supposed to be responsible for this.
| |
|
| |
| And for extra measure, I picked up on their Japanese names from several Japanese outlets for info on the game:
| |
|
| |
| In order, they are as follows:
| |
|
| |
| # カディリー (Kadiri)
| |
| # マラ (Mara), カッキー (Kaki), ラスキー (Raski)
| |
| # ゴングオー (Gong-Oh)
| |
| # ボンジョ (Bonjo?)
| |
| # ワッキーパイプ (Wacky Pipe)
| |
| # ザイロボーン (Xylobone)
| |
| # ディオン (Dion)
| |
|
| |
| Interesting...

| == Split high-ranking minions into their own articles ==
| |
|
| |
| Is there any particular reason why they don't have their own articles? They seem pretty significant to me at least, especially the first one. {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}} 19:34, February 6, 2021 (EST)
