The '''Tiki Tak Tribe''' | The '''Tiki Tak Tribe''', shortly referred to as '''Tikis''', are the main antagonists of ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]''. All of them are made up of wood. Similar to the [[Kremling Krew]] from previous ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' series titles, there are higher and lower-ranked members of the Tiki Tak Tribe. The higher-rank members are capable of hypnotizing other characters, such as other animals and a boss in each world. The lower-rank members make up the recurring enemies throughout the levels. The Tiki Tak Tribe has a wooden mask for their emblem, as shown on the [[Snaps]]' ship's sails and flags and in the image gallery icon. | ||
Both the higher and lower-rank tikis resemble a musical instrument; all of the lower-ranked ones resemble a drum. The particular instrument that a higher ranked tiki resembles is played in the background music of the associated boss fight. | Both the higher and lower-rank tikis resemble a musical instrument; all of the lower-ranked ones resemble a drum.

In the opening | In the opening of the ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' and ''Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D'', when the giant [[Tiki Tong Tower]] rises out from the volcano of [[Donkey Kong Island]], it erupts and the tikis emerge from the rocks blasted out of the volcano. Moments later, the tikis hypnotize the animal inhabitants and control them to steal the [[Banana Hoard]] supply. Kalimba goes into [[DK's Treehouse|Donkey Kong's Treehouse]] and unsuccessfully tries to hypnotize [[Donkey Kong]]. He punches Kalimba out of his house and begins his quest against the tikis. | ||
At the end of every world, Donkey Kong and [[Diddy Kong]] go up against a higher-ranked tiki, who hypnotize a boss to fight both of them. For example, in the Cave world, the | At the end of every world, Donkey Kong and [[Diddy Kong]] go up against a higher-ranked tiki, who hypnotize a boss to fight both of them. For example, in the Cave world, the tikis employed [[Mole Miner]]s to transport the stolen bananas. In the Factory world, it is revealed that the bananas are used to bring the tikis to life. After the [[Kong]]s defeat the boss, the tiki dizzily re-emerges from behind the boss. Donkey Kong goes up to the tiki and punches it repeatedly to send it flying away. | ||
After a long journey, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong reach the end of the eighth world, Volcano, where they | After a long journey, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong reach the end of the eighth world, Volcano, where they bump into the Tiki Tak Tribe's leader, [[Tiki Tong]]. Using the last of the Banana Hoard supply, Tiki Tong transforms his lieutenants into a large pair of hands, which he uses during the final battle against the Kongs. | ||
The Kongs manage to defeat Tiki Tong, | The Kongs manage to defeat Tiki Tong, but he causes an explosion that launches Donkey Kong into space. However, Donkey Kong uses his entire strength to knock the [[moon]] out of its orbit and land it on [[Tiki Tong Tower]]. The moon's pressure causes the tower to release the stolen bananas, and it presumably seals all the tikis back into the volcano, marking the end of the Kongs' adventure. | ||

The Tikis have a variety of abilities. The higher ranked members are agile, have the ability to float in midair, and can hypnotize other creatures. Their hypnosis does not work on all characters, as [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] are mysteriously unaffected by it. The lower rank members have more distinctive traits from each other. For instance, the Tiki Buzzes can fly, [[Flaming Tiki Buzz]]es and [[Tiki Torch]]es can produce [[fire]] (even though they are made up of wood), and [[Tiki Tank]]s wear a steel helmet to protect them from direct attacks. | The Tikis have a variety of abilities.

In the Factory world, it is shown that a Tiki can come to life when a mashed-up banana is incorporated into its body. This is further demonstrated in the final battle against Tiki Tong, where he spits juice on the seven high-ranked tikis to turn them into his own pair of hands. | ||
