'''Tiki Buzzes''' are members of the [[Tiki Tak Tribe]] and enemies that appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]''. They are wooden tikis shaped as a bongo drum, and are nearly the size of [[Diddy Kong]]. They have carved black eyeballs, a yellow beak, red wings, and brown tail feathers, as well as three beaded strings attached to the bottom. Tiki Buzzes have two variants, [[Tiki Tork]]s and [[Flaming Tiki Buzz]]es: the former is a larger version and the latter is a flaming version.

Tiki Buzzes fly in various patterns: some move around vertically while others move horizontally. [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] can jump on them to reach higher locations and cross wide gaps. Tiki Buzzes are common in [[Mine Cart]] levels, such as [[Crazy Cart]], where the [[Kong]]s must often land their Mine Cart on them to reach higher rails. Tiki Buzzes are weak enemies, and they can be defeated from a single [[jump]], a [[Roll Attack]], from throwing a [[barrel]], or with help from [[Rambi the Rhino]]. Their behavior is comparable to [[Necky]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''.
