'''Tiki Tanks''' are members of the [[Tiki Tak Tribe]] and enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns HD]]''. First appearing in the [[Ruins]] world, they are bongo-shaped creatures reinforced with pieces of stone armor, which protect them from [[jump]] and [[Roll Attack|roll]] attacks. The [[Kong]]s lose a [[Heart (item)|heart]] if they simply walk into a Tiki Tank, but will safely be pushed back a bit if they try rolling into it. Jumping on a Tiki Tank can give the [[Kong]]s some additional height, helping them reach high platforms or collectibles.
'''Tiki Tanks''' 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.


Despite their resilience to direct-contact attacks, Tiki Tanks can still be defeated a number of ways. Like with [[Pinchly]]s, the Kongs can [[Hand Slap|ground pound]] next to a Tiki Tank to flip it over into the ground temporarily, revealing a weak underside, which the Kongs can jump on to destroy the enemy. On occasion, Tiki Tanks can be instantly defeated if the Kongs throw a [[barrel]] at it, blast into it from a [[Barrel Cannon]], or with help from [[Rambi]].
==Appearance==
Tiki Tanks resemble wooden and bongo-shaped entities that sport a stone crown and a lower stone jaw with wooden sharp teeth. Tiki Tanks have beady yellow pupils and black sclera. Their arms are timbered and tied to what appears to be three-holed maracas and wear a wooden skirt.


On the second question of a [[Play Nintendo]] [[Donkey Kong Country Returns Trivia Quiz|quiz]] related to ''Donkey Kong Country Returns HD'', a picture of a Tiki Tank is erroneously used to represent [[Tiki Tong]].<ref>{{cite|url=play.nintendo.com/activities/skill-quizzes/donkey-kong-country-returns-trivia-quiz/|title=Donkey Kong Country Returns Trivia Quiz|publisher=Play Nintendo|accessdate=February 10, 2025|archive=web.archive.org/web/20250207143449/https://play.nintendo.com/activities/skill-quizzes/donkey-kong-country-returns-trivia-quiz/}}</ref>

Tiki Tanks first appear in the [[Ruins]] world. They are invulnerable to many of the [[Kong]]s' attacks. When the Kongs [[Roll Attack|roll]] into a Tiki Tank, they merely bump into it and are pushed back; likewise, the Kongs lose a heart from contact with a Tiki Tank. Even though Tiki Tanks are unaffected by a jump attack, [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] can jump on them to gain a small boost in height.

Tiki Tanks can be defeated if the Kongs throw a projectile such as a [[barrel]] at them. Like with [[Pinchly]]s, Donkey Kong can [[Ground Pound]] next to a Tiki Tank to flip it over into the ground temporarily. While it is flipped over, Donkey Kong can stomp on the Tiki Tank to defeat it. In certain cases, the Kongs can defeat a Tiki Tank by blasting into it from a [[Barrel Cannon]] or with help from [[Rambi]].
