'''Tiki Boings'''<ref>"Tiki Gallery" in the "Extras" section of ''Donkey Kong Country Returns''.</ref> are [[Tiki Tak Tribe]] enemies that appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]''. They commonly appear in the levels [[Jagged Jewels]], [[Longshot Launch]], and [[Tippy Shippy]]. Tiki Boings are drum-like Tikis that resemble [[Tiki Goon]], though Tiki Boings have red wings and a tan body. They use their wings to repeatedly bounce and fly high in the air, trying to attack [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]] and [[Diddy Kong]]. Like Tiki Goons, Tiki Boings can be defeated by being [[Jump|jumped]] on or struck with a [[barrel]]. In the conept art, the Tiki has arms, but in the game, none of them have them.

'''Tiki Boings''' are [[Tiki Tak Tribe]] enemies that appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]''. They commonly appear in the levels [[Jagged Jewels]], [[Longshot Launch]], and [[Tippy Shippy]]. Tiki Boings are drum-like Tikis that resemble [[Tiki Goon]], though Tiki Boings have red wings and a tan body. They use their spring-like bodies to repeatedly bounce high in the air, trying to attack [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]] and [[Diddy Kong]]. Like Tiki Goons, Tiki Boings can be defeated by being [[Jump|jumped]] on or struck with a [[barrel]]. In the concept art, the Tiki has arms, but in the game, none of them have them.


==Reference==
Tiki Boings are similar to [[Fluff (enemy)|Fluff]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', although Tiki Boings are faster and have a shorter jump.

==Trivia==
[[File:Lavatiki.png|thumb|230px|"Early Lava Tiki"]]
*There is concept artwork of a similar enemy referred to as "[[List of extras in Donkey Kong Country Returns#Early Lava Tiki|Early Lava Tiki]]" that would use lava as a form of propulsion. The image can be unlocked in-game by collecting all [[Puzzle Piece (Donkey Kong Country series)|Puzzle Pieces]] in [[Roasting Rails]]. The picture's [[List of Donkey Kong Country Returns image extras names in other languages|French and Italian titles]] ("''Tiki Lave (Tiki Hop initial)''" and "''Bozzetto Tiki Balzo (Tiki Lava)''" respectively) suggest that this enemy is actually an early design or variant of the Tiki Boing.
