'''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.
'''Tiki Tong Tower'''<ref>[[List of extras in Donkey Kong Country Returns|Name in the extra's Boss Gallery]]</ref> is the giant, seemingly living tower in the center of the [[Volcano]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and is home to the leader of the [[Tiki Tak Tribe]], [[Tiki Tong]]. In the game's opening, it sends out several Tikis to hypnotize the local population.


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.
It can be seen from anywhere on the map's world select, and appears to be an observation point; it always faces the camera and constantly moves its lower jaw. The Tower is prominently featured in the level [[Tiki Tong Terror]], where the player gets into a [[Rocket Barrel]] and flies up to the top, dodging a series of obstacles along the way. At the top, the Kongs go inside the Tiki Tong Tower's mouth and fight Tiki Tong. After defeating Tiki Tong, [[Donkey Kong]]'s and/or [[Diddy Kong]]'s actions cause the [[Moon]] to land on top of the tower. This results in Tiki Tong Tower sinking into the volcano, destroying the tower in the process.
 
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.
