- “How's my Funky impression? Honestly, I think it's pretty swell! No one'll know the difference while you're sweeping up the Snowmads!”
- —Tawks, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Tawks is a character appearing exclusively in the Nintendo Switch version of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. He resembles a scarlet macaw donning a pair of shades and a cockatoo crest, similar to a mohawk. He replaces Funky Kong as the shopkeeper of Funky's Fly 'n' Buy during the Funky mode. While similar in appearance and name to Squawks the Parrot, Tawks adopts many of Funky Kong's mannerisms and quotes in an attempt to impersonate him, aided by his cheerful and energetic tone. He offers Funky a discount for all items present in the shop since they are being sold to the shop owner. His name may be a pun on "talks," in order to continue the vocalization-based theme naming with Squawks and Screech.
Trivia
- When the player exits the shop as Funky Kong, Tawks will sometimes say, "Give 'em the old banana slamma, dude!", a reference to Donkey Kong's catchphrase in the Donkey Kong Country animated series.
