'''Tomatoes'''<ref>Barton, Jeff, Mario De Govia, and Donato Tica. ''Donkey Kong 64'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. {{media link|DK64 Prima 16.jpg|Page 16}}.</ref>, also called '''giant tomatoes'''<ref>Bihldorff, Nate, Jason Leung, and Drew Williams. ''Donkey Kong 64'' Player's Guide. Page 82.</ref> are large, mutated tomato enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. They have a sinister-looking face and a set of sharp teeth. A few Tomatoes appear in [[Fungi Forest]] during the night, at the area near [[Funky's Store]]. If a [[Kong]] is nearby, the Tomato lunges at them. Tomatoes are invulnerable to nearly every attack, including musical instrument moves, and can only be defeated from [[Chunky Kong]] jumping onto them as [[Hunky Chunky]]. This is required to help the [[Worm]], who says that the Tomatoes ate all of its friends, and fears it will be next.


Several Killer Tomatoes can be found in the area near [[Funky's Armory]] in the area [[Fungi Forest]] at night. If one of the Kongs comes too close to a Killer Tomato it will lunge at them and damage them.  The Kongs cannot even fight back as the attacks cannot harm the evil vegetables. In order to combat the Killer Tomatoes [[Chunky Kong]] must jump in a nearby [[Hunky Chunky Barrel]] to become [[Hunky Chunky]].
The Tomatoes may have been inspired by the tomatoes from the ''{{wp|Attack of the Killer Tomatoes}}'' franchise.


When Hunky Chunky approaches the Killer Tomatoes a [[Worm|worm]] in an apple will begin speaking to him; it will tell him that his friends were eaten be these tomatoes and that it is next unless someone helps it. Chunky must jump on the Killer Tomatoes to defeat them. After he has done this he can pick up the worm and it's apple and take it to the part of Fungi Forest with the giant clock-tree in it. Here Chunky can drop the worm off on a piece of ground with a picture of an apple on it, after this he will gain a [[Golden Banana]] for his troubles.

* The appearance of the Killer Tomatoes and the way they are defeated (by being crushed) may be based off the hit B-movie ''Attack of the Killer Tomatoes'' and its many sequels.
