Several Killer Tomatoes can be found in the area near [[Funky's Store]] in the area [[Fungi Forest]] at night. If one of the [[Kong]]s 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 fruit. In order to combat the Killer Tomatoes, [[Chunky Kong]] must jump into a nearby [[Hunky Chunky Barrel]] to become [[Hunky Chunky]].

When Hunky Chunky approaches the Killer Tomatoes, a [[Bookworm|worm]] in an apple will begin speaking to him; it will tell him that its friends were eaten by 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 its 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.

Tomatoes[1], also called giant tomatoes[2] 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.

The Tomatoes may have been inspired by the tomatoes from the Attack of the Killer Tomatoes franchise.
