Tiki Goon

Tiki Goons are enemies that first appeared in Donkey Kong Country Returns. They are the most common and weakest foot soldiers of the Tiki Tak Tribe, and are basically the equivalent of Goombas from the Mario series. They can be found almost anywhere on Donkey Kong Island.

Donkey Kong Country Returns
Donkey Kong Country Returns marked the first appearance of the Tiki Goons where they acted as nothing more then simple foot soldiers and were the most widespread of the Tiki Tak Tribe's soldiers.

Mario Kart 7
Tiki Goons are set to reappear again in the upcoming Mario Kart 7 as obstacles on a Donkey Kong-themed course.

Appearance
Tiki Goons resemble bongo drums that have come to life. They are brown in color, and have large circles for eyes, that always seem to be closed. They have rectangular holes between their eyes that serve as noses, and they have sharp, triangle teeth. Feathers hang off each side of their heads as well, which probably only serve as decoration.

Their overall appearance looks rather harmless, which turns out to be nearly true. If it weren't for their eyes, then no one might ever even realize that they are evil.

Attacks
Tiki Goons don't really have any attacks. All they do is walk back and forth and hope they touch one of the Kongs. If they do, than that drains one heart from them. If they are hit on the head, however, then they will die and no harm will come to Donkey Kong.
