Tiki Tong

Tiki Tong is the final boss of the game Donkey Kong Country Returns and also the boss of the Volcano area. Tiki Tong is the leader of the Tiki Tak Tribe and the reason why the Tikis are running amok. He made his minions steal Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong's Banana Hoard to make more Tikis.

History

Tiki Tong created his Tikis to help him take over Donkey Kong Island. He made the Tikis hypnotize the animals to help them steal the Banana Hoard, which is their life source. Tiki Tong set up a plant in the Factory where Colonel Pluck and his robot created more Tikis. However, Tiki Tong's plans were stopped short by Donkey and Diddy. When Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong invade Tiki Tong's lair, he transforms his minions into hands so he can take care of the two once and for all.

Appearance

Tiki Tong is a large, wood head. He has sharp, wooden teeth with orange and purple stripes located below them. Tiki Tong has a flat nose and two, huge, spherical, and uneven eyes. One of the eyes has the same orange and purple stripes with pointed eyelids while the other is bare with normal eyelids. His retina is black and his pupils are red. Tiki Tong has red markings around his eyes and has red leaves where his “ears” are. He wears a wooden grown with the outer ring being purple with orange triangular markings on the front. Tiki Tong has two hands with orange fingers and purple zig-zags on the backside.

Attacks

When Tiki Tong has both hands, he generally performs three attacks. His first ones are laying his hands flat in the air and quickly sweeping them across the stage. This can be avoided by simply ducking. Tiki Tong will also slam his hands on the floor. Sometimes, he quickly removes his hand, but other times he leaves it there. The boss can also move his hands to both sides of the stage. If Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong are caught in the middle, he slams both his hands against them. This can be avoided by jumping over either hand before he moves them. When he only has one hand, he does the same attacks, except much faster. He can also fake out a hand slam.

When Tiki Tong loses both his hands, he attacks by slamming his head into the ground. This will reveal his weakness: the button on his head. When he is damaged once, he can send out four Flaming Tiki Buzzes that will chase the Kongs. When he is damaged once more, he can rain down Flaming Tiki Buzzes.

Combat

Template:Spoiler During Tiki Tong’s first phase, Donkey Kong must step on the red button on the boss' hands when he slams it on the stage. After each hand has taken two damage, they will fall apart into bananas.

During the second phase, the simians must jump on the red button on top of Tiki Tong's head to cause him damage. After Tiki Tong is damaged three more times, he will explode into bananas, destroying the remaining Tikis and lifting the curse put upon the animals. Template:Endspoiler
