Tiki Buzz

Tiki Buzzes are members of the Tiki Tak Tribe and enemies that appear in Donkey Kong Country Returns and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D. Tiki Buzzes are wooden tikis shaped like a bongo drum, and they are nearly the size of Diddy Kong. They have carved black eyeballs, a yellow beak, red wings, and brown tail feathers. Three beaded strings are attached below.

Every Tiki Buzz flies in a different pattern: 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, 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.

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.
