Tiki Tong: Difference between revisions

'''Tiki Tong''' is the hidden main antagonist of the [[Wii]] game ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and its [[Nintendo 3DS]] port, ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]''. He is the eighth and final boss of the game, residing in the massive [[Tiki Tong Tower]] inside the [[Volcano]], and fought during the level [[Tiki Tong Terror]]. 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 and take over [[Donkey Kong Island]]. His fight music is one out of the three boss themes that can be unlocked, the others being [[Stu]]'s and [[Mangoruby]]'s.

When the Tiki Tak Tribe is awakened from inside the volcano, Tiki Tong orders his commanders hypnotize the animals of [[Donkey Kong Island]] into stealing the banana hoard, their life source, and plans to conquer the island for their own. Tiki Tong had also sets up a plant in the [[Factory (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Factory]], where [[Colonel Pluck]] would use his [[Stompybot 3000]] to create more soldiers. However, Tiki Tong's plans are stopped short by Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, who take down his commanders and Colonel Pluck. When Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong invade Tiki Tong's lair, the Tiki Tak Tribe's commanders come and throw the remaining [[banana]]s in Tiki Tong's head. He then grinds the bananas into juice by spinning around, and then spits it on the Tikis. This action transforms them into his own pair of hands so that he can take care of the two once and for all. Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong manage to defeat Tiki Tong, whose demise launches the Kongs out of the Tiki Tong Tower and into space. While there, DK and Diddy knock the [[moon]] down to earth, which crushes the tower. This releases the stolen bananas, which sends the moon flying back into orbit. With the defeat of the Tiki Tak Tribe, the effects of the hypnosis on the animals of the island are undone. DK and Diddy are able to land before they crash onto the island, and cheer as their bananas continue to rain from the volcano.

If the player beats the boss with only [[Diddy Kong]], he is sent into space, but unlike with [[Donkey Kong]], he panics and desperately tries to save himself from crashing into the moon using his [[Barrel Jet]]. It malfunctions however, and Diddy flies into the moon and bangs his head on it, making it fall onto the volcano like usual. He falls down to the ground unconscious, but DK catches him in his arms. They celebrate getting their bananas back.
