The Tiki Pilot is a Tiki enemy that appears in Donkey Kong Country Returns and its Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Switch ports. It is a drum-like Tiki that can be distinguished from others by having three feathers over its head and holding a stick with a Chomp-like end on the top.
Partway through the first level of the game, Jungle Hijinxs, Tiki Pilot flies an airship through the background. The airship is hauling piles of stolen bananas from the banana hoard,[citation needed] with a number of barrels of bananas held to the sides by ropes and a large bundle of bananas held in ropes affixed to the bottom of the airship. The airship starts from below the screen and leaves off the top of the screen. The Tiki Pilot stands in the center of the airship and rocks in place.
