Tiki Tong Terror
- Not to be confused with Tiki Tong Tower.
Tiki Tong Terror is the boss level of Volcano in Donkey Kong Country Returns and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D. It is where Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong fight the final boss, Tiki Tong.
Overview
To reach Tiki Tong, the Kongs must first pass a long Rocket Barrel section to reach the top of the volcano, to Tiki Tong Tower. The Kongs must ride upwards through many moving spikes, tikis on hot air balloons, and other obstacles. Once it is passed, the Kongs will land directly inside the volcano to find out there is solid land.
When the Kongs enter, a cutscene plays. Donkey Kong and Diddy find a large pile of bananas for their Banana Hoard, causing them to celebrate. Tiki Tong then enters the arena, by itself simply a large, floating drum-like head. The other Tikis take smaller piles of bananas and throw them into Tiki Tong's head. After, Tiki Tong spits yellow banana juice all over the Tikis, transforming them into two hands.
Tiki Tong's attack pattern consists of taking its hands, putting them sideways and sliding them left and right, which must be ducked under. It can also take its one or two hands and clap or slam them into the ground. Tiki Tong can grab Diddy and Donkey Kong or raise one of its hands up and bring it down quickly, leaving him vulnerable. Donkey and Diddy Kong must jump on the red spot on Tong's hands when they are down in order to hurt them. Each hand explodes in a plume of bananas when hit twice.
After losing both hands, Tiki Tong gets enraged. The attack pattern goes from a head slam-drop and then to releasing flaming enemies that either target the Kongs or drop slowly. These are usually long, enduring processes and hearts do not come often. A larger, more fierce head drop takes the top part of the boss's head off for a short period of time revealing another red, glowing weak spot which must be jumped on a few times to finally defeat Tiki Tong.
