'''Tiki Tanks'''<ref>Michael Knight, ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] Official Game Guide. Page 25</ref> are enemies which first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and later appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]''. They can be encountered for the first time in the [[Ruins]] area. Tiki Tanks resemble wooden, bongo-shaped entities. They sport a stone crown and a lower stone jaw with wooden sharp teeth. They have beady yellow pupils and black sclera. Their arms are timbered and tied to what look like three-holed maracas. They are surrounded by a wooden skirt.
'''Tiki Tanks''' are grunts of the [[Tiki Tak Tribe]] and enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]''.


Tiki Tanks, in the state they are initially encountered, are invulnerable to most of the [[Kong]]s' attacks, excluding the throwing of projectiles. When the primates [[Roll Attack|roll]] into a Tiki Tank, they will merely bump into it and get pushed back; likewise, a simple touch from this enemy is harmful for the Kongs. Neither a stomp affects them. However, these enemies can provide boosts over small gaps if jumped on. As stated earlier, they can be defeated by throwing a [[barrel]] at them. They can also be taken out if the primates get blasted out of a [[Barrel Cannon]] into one of them or if they ram into them with [[Rambi]]'s horn. Most of the time, the Kongs themselves would have to [[Ground Pound|pound]] the ground nearby in order to turn a Tiki Tank upside-down, during which its bottom is left discovered and ready to get stomped on, granting defeat for the enemy.
==Appearance==
Tiki Tanks resemble wooden, bongo-shaped entities, and they sport a stone crown and a lower stone jaw with wooden sharp teeth. Tiki Tanks have beady yellow pupils and black sclera. Their arms are timbered and tied to what appears to be three-holed maracas, and are wearing a wooden skirt.
 
==Description==
[[File:Tikitankca.png|thumb|left|Concept artwork of two Tiki Tanks, one of which is upside-down]]
Tiki Tanks first appear in the [[Ruins]] world. They are invulnerable to many of the [[Kong]]s' attacks. When the Kongs [[Roll Attack|roll]] into a Tiki Tank, they merely bump into it and are pushed back; likewise, the Kongs lose a heart from contact with a Tiki Tank. Even though Tiki Tanks are unaffected by a jump attack, [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] can jump on them to gain a small boost in height.
 
Tiki Tanks can be defeated if the Kongs throw a projectile such as a [[barrel]] at them. Like with [[Pinchly]]s, Donkey Kong can [[Ground Pound]] next to a Tiki Tank to flip it over into the ground temporarily. While it is flipped over, Donkey Kong can stomp on the Tiki Tank to defeat it. In certain cases, the Kongs can defeat a Tiki Tank by blasting into it from a [[Barrel Cannon]] or with help from [[Rambi]].
