*Tiki Goons act in a similar way to [[Goomba]]s in the ''Mario'' series. Like Goombas, they will try to walk into the [[Kong]]s to hurt them but Tiki Goons can also be defeated with any attack from the Kongs.

Tiki Goons are introduced in Jungle Hijinxs, a level in the Jungle area, and continue to appear commonly throughout the course of the game. Much like Kritters, Klomps and Kobbles from past Donkey Kong Country games, Tiki Goons only attack by moving to the sides at a slow pace. If the Kongs simply bump into one, they lose one heart from their health meter. However, Tiki Goons can be defeated with a roll, a jump, a barrel, or with Rambi.

Mario Kart series

Their behavior from their previous appearance is displayed yet again, simply roaming accross the road in an attempt to hinder the racers. Should a racer crash into a Tiki Goon, they spin out and lose three coins. By beating the Staff Ghost of DK Jungle in Mario Kart 8, the player unlocks a Tiki Goon stamp.
