The Tiki Tak Tribe is an ancient evil hive mind of Tikis lead by Tiki Tong and is the main antagonistic force in Donkey Kong Country Returns and its Nintendo 3DS remake.
Tikis[]
Tikis are creatures often made of wood or stone, they often have their faces painted, and most of them have feathers. Many of them are shaped like musical instruments, most of them being membraphones. There are some that have firepower and are completely immune to lava, except those that are made of wood.
History[]
The tribe was inaugurated when Tiki Tong created the island and Tikis. The tribe expanded throughout the island where tyranny reigned and enslaved all animals with their hypnotic powers. The first collapse of the Tiki Tak Tribe was the Kong rebellion, since the Kongs were immune to the hypnotic power of the Tikis.[1]
In Donkey Kong Country Returns, The tribe re-emerged during Tiki Tong's awakening. This time, the tribe leaders including Tiki Tong went to each of the 8 worlds with the goal of stealing the Banana Hoard and creating new Tikis with magic powers of pulp.[2][3] The tribe suffered the second collapse in part of DK & Diddy in which several Tikis were destroyed, including Tiki Tong, the leadership, and the minions.
In Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, remnant Tikis such as Screaming Pillars can be found in the Bright Savannah.
