Variants

Tiki Torches are bongo-shaped tiki enemies that appear in Donkey Kong Country Returns and its Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Switch ports. Their main attribute is how they are constantly shrouded in flames. Tiki Torches have a variant, Tiki Bombers.

Like other Tikis, Tiki Torches are made from wood. They bear a resemblance to Tiki Dooms but at a smaller size. They are completely dark brown and have hollow eyes with no pupils.

Like many other enemies, Tiki Torches move slowly in a side to side manner. Tiki Torches are mostly invulnerable due to their flames, even from Rambi. Donkey Kong can only defeat a Tiki Torch by blowing out its flames, leaving the enemy temporarily open to either a jump or roll attack. After a while, the Tiki Torch regains its flames.
