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.
History
Donkey Kong Country Returns / Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D
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 Kongs 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 Neckys from Donkey Kong Country.
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS
Tiki Buzzes appear as Smash Run enemies in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. Like in Donkey Kong Country Returns, Tiki Buzzes can be defeated when a fighter jumps on them. A Tiki Buzz also appears as a trophy.

This member of the Tiki Tak Tribe appears in Donkey Kong Country Returns. It'd be really tempting to see what kind of sound that drum-shaped head of his would make. In Smash Run, they do a dive-bomb attack if a fighter passes below. You can bounce off their heads to boost your own jump!

A drum-shaped, bird-like creature from the Tiki Tak Tribe. In Smash Run, they float around in the air, and if they end up above you, they'll suddenly drop down, right on your head. Jump on them instead, though, and you can bounce off and go flying through the air. So think twice before you tell these guys to buzz off!
