'''Tiki Goons'''<ref name=prima>{{cite|author=Knight, Michael|title=''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' Prima Official Game Guide|page=24|date=November 21, 2010|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|isbn=978-0-307-47102-4|language=en-us}}</ref> are members of the [[Tiki Tak Tribe]] and basic enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''. They are bongo-shaped tikis, featuring a cloth on their head and a square hole for a nose. They also have yellow pupils with black sclera and have a striped skirt. Four red feathers ornate each side of their heads.
==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country'' series===
====''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' / ''3D''====
Tiki Goons are introduced in [[Jungle Hijinxs (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Jungle Hijinxs]], a level in the [[Jungle (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Jungle]] area, and continue to appear commonly throughout the course of the game. Much like [[Kritter]]s, [[Klomp]]s and [[Kobble]]s from past ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' games, Tiki Goons move from side to side at a slow pace. Some of them turn around when they encounter the edge of a platform, while others continue walking ahead regardless. If the [[Kong]]s bump into one, they lose one heart from their health meter. However, Tiki Goons can be defeated with a roll, a jump, a [[barrel]], or with [[Rambi the Rhino|Rambi]]. When fighting a boss (except for [[Tiki Tong]]), Tiki Goons will be spectating along with [[Tiki Tank]]s and [[Tiki Torch]]es.


====''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''====
'''Tiki Goons''' are enemies first appearing in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''. They first appear in the [[Jungle (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Jungle]] area. They are wooden, bongo-shaped enemies. Tiki Goons have a cloth on their head and a square hole for a nose. They have yellow pupils and black sclera. Tiki Goons have a yellow, orange, brown, and red skirt and also have four red feathers on each side of their head. Tiki Goons attack just by moving to the sides at a slow pace. They can be defeated with a roll, a jump, a [[barrel]], or with [[Rambi the Rhinoceros|Rambi]].
A {{file link|BrightSavannah art1.png|piece of concept artwork}} in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' shows two Tiki Goon carcasses lying at the base of a large rock. The artwork is unlocked in the [[List of extras in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze|image gallery]] after collecting all [[Puzzle Piece (Donkey Kong Country series)|Puzzle Pieces]] in [[Grassland Groove]].


===''Mario Kart'' series===
Tiki Goons make another appearance in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' as obstacles in [[DK Jungle (Mario Kart)|DK Jungle]].

Tiki Goons make another appearance in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as obstacles in [[3DS DK Jungle|DK Jungle]]. Their behavior from their previous appearance is displayed yet again, roaming across the road in an attempt to hinder the racers. Should a racer crash into a Tiki Goon, they spin out and lose three [[coin]]s. By beating the Staff Ghost of DK Jungle in ''Mario Kart 8'', the player unlocks a Tiki Goon [[stamp]].


===''WarioWare: Get It Together!''===
==Trivia==
Tiki Goons reappear in ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'' as enemies in the [[Donkey Kong Country Returns (microgame)|Donkey Kong Country Returns]] microgame.
*Tiki Goons act in a similar way to [[Goomba]]s in the ''Mario'' series. Like Goombas, they will try to walk into the [[Kong]]s to hurt them but Tiki Goons can also be defeated with any attack from the Kongs.

*'''Prima's Official Strategy Guide:''' ''The Tiki Goon is the grunt of the Tikis. It moves along the ground and will try to run into you. Jump on top of them to get rid of them. Barrel rolls also work well when you need to take out a row of these guys.''<ref name=prima/>
