Tomato

Killer Tomatoes are large red tomatoes with sinister looking faces. Killer Tomatoes appear in Donkey Kong 64.

Several Killer Tomatoes can be found in the area near Funky's Armory in the area Fungi Forest at night. If one of the Kongs comes too close to a Killer Tomato it will lunge at them and damage them. The Kongs cannot even fight back as the attacks cannot harm the evil vegetables. In order to combat the Killer Tomatoes, Chunky Kong must jump into a nearby Hunky Chunky Barrel to become Hunky Chunky.

When Hunky Chunky approaches the Killer Tomatoes, a worm in an apple will begin speaking to him; it will tell him that its friends were eaten by these tomatoes and that it is next unless someone helps it. Chunky must jump on the Killer Tomatoes to defeat them. After he has done this he can pick up the worm and its apple and take it to the part of Fungi Forest with the giant clock-tree in it. Here, Chunky can drop the worm off on a piece of ground with a picture of an apple on it. After this, he will gain a Golden Banana for his troubles.

Trivia

 * The appearance of the Killer Tomatoes and the way they are defeated (by being crushed) may be based off the hit B-movie Attack of the Killer Tomatoes and its many sequels.
