'''Tomatoes''' are large red tomatoes with sinister looking faces. Tomatoes appear in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. The tomatoes are the only enemies in ''Donkey Kong 64'' who are immune to the [[Kong]]' musical instrument moves.

'''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 Tomatoes can be found in the area near [[Funky's Store]] in the area [[Fungi Forest]] at night. If the player comes too close to a Tomato, it will lunge at them and damage them. The player cannot fight back as attacks cannot harm tomatoes. In order to defeat tomatoes, the player as [[Chunky Kong]] must jump into a [[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 the player as Hunky Chunky approaches the Tomatoes, the [[Worm]] starts speaking to them, saying that all of its friends were eaten by the Tomatoes and that it could also be eaten unless the player defeats the tomatoes. To defeat a tomato, the player as Hunky Chunky must jump onto it. The Worm later rewards the player with a [[Golden Banana]] after they defeat the Tomatoes and relocate the Worm and its house.
