In the game's opening, it sends out several Tikis to hypnotize the local population, and can be seen from the world map throughout the game, always facing the camera, and constantly moving its lower jaw. To get to the top, the player must get into a [[Rocket Barrel]] and fly up to the top, dodging a series of obstacles along the way. At the top, the player goes inside the Tiki Tong Tower's mouth and the player must defeat Tiki Tong. After he is defeated, [[Donkey Kong]] destroys the tower by punching the [[Moon]] into it. |

| '''Tiki Tong Tower''' is the giant, seemingly living tower in the center of the [[Volcano (world)|Volcano]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and is home to the leader of the [[Tiki Tak Tribe]], [[Tiki Tong]]. After the volcano erupts in the game's opening, the tower rises from it and roars. Tiki Tong Tower can be seen from anywhere on the World Selection Screen, rising above the haze that normally shrouds the Volcano. Its lower jaw is always in motion. It appears to be an observation point; on the World Selection Screen it turns to face the camera though it cannot look up or down. | |

| The Tower is prominently featured in the final level of the game, the Volcano level [[Tiki Tong Terror]]. In it, the Kongs have to use a [[Rocket Barrel]] to fly up the tower. Obstacles include drums extending from the the left and right sides of the screen, drums whose tops are covered with red clouds and spikes on the ends which extend to collide in the center of the screen, grinding saws on the ends of wider versions of the aforementioned drums that scroll across the screen but leave an opening between them, Tikis riding spiky balloons, and square blocks sticking out from the tower. This is to reach the inside of the tower, whose mouth opens up and stays open in a cutscene preceding the Rocket Barrel launch.

| At the top, the Kongs land inside the Tiki Tong Tower's mouth, which closes behind them. The walls turn into a moving pattern that changes color, and the Kongs must fight Tiki Tong. When Tiki Tong is defeated, he explodes and launches the Kongs up through the Tower and past the [[moon]]. At this point the story splits depending on which Kongs are present, but the gist is that [[Donkey Kong]] punches the moon down and onto the tower, with or without Diddy Kong's help. [[Diddy Kong]] on his own accidentally crashes into the moon. The moon falls down and knocks out Tiki Tong Tower, at which point it is pushed back into the volcano. After completing the game, the tower no longer appears on the World Selection Screen. | |
