'''Tiki Buzzes''' are members of the [[Tiki Tak Tribe]] and enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and its [[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D|Nintendo 3DS]] and [[Donkey Kong Country Returns HD|Nintendo Switch]] ports. They are tikis shaped like a bongo drum and are nearly the size of [[Diddy Kong]]. They have carved black eyeballs, a yellow beak, red wings and brown tail feathers, as well as three beaded strings attached to the bottom.

==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' / ''Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D''===
Tiki Buzzes fly in various patterns. Some do not move at all, some move from left to right while others move up and down. At the edges of their movement range they reverse direction. Tiki Buzzes do not flip their wings to move downward and are faster when doing so. The player takes damage when they collide with a Tiki Buzz's sides or bottom, but a Tiki Buzzcan be defeated with any attack. The [[Kong]]s can jump on them to reach higher locations and cross wide gaps. Tiki Buzzes are common in [[Mine Cart]] levels, such as [[Crazy Cart]], where the [[Kong]]s must often land their Mine Cart on them to reach higher rails. Their behavior is comparable to [[Necky|Neckies]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''.

===''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS''===
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Tiki Buzz}}
Tiki Buzzes are enemies in the [[smashwiki:Smash Run|Smash Run]] mode of ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', and can be defeated from being jumped on, like in ''Donkey Kong Country Returns''. There is also a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] of a Tiki Buzz.

===''WarioWare: Get It Together!''===
Tiki Buzzes appear in ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'' as enemies in the [[Donkey Kong Country Returns (microgame)|Donkey Kong Country Returns]] microgame where they must be jumped on. They either fly back and forth or up and down.

|desc=This member of the Tiki Tak Tribe appears in Donkey Kong Country Returns. It'd be really tempting to see what kind of sound that drum-shaped head of his would make. In Smash Run, they do a dive-bomb attack if a fighter passes below. You can bounce off their heads to boost your own jump!
|desc2=A drum-shaped, bird-like creature from the Tiki Tak Tribe. In Smash Run, they float around in the air, and if they end up above you, they'll suddenly drop down, right on your head. Jump on them instead, though, and you can bounce off and go flying through the air. So think twice before you tell these guys to buzz off!
