“Please help me! Those awful tomatoes have eaten all my friends, and I'm the only one left!”
Worm, Donkey Kong 64

Tomatoes[1] are large red tomatoes with sinister looking faces. Tomatoes appear in Donkey Kong 64.

Several Tomatoes can be found in the area near Funky's Store in the area Fungi Forest at night. If one of the Kongs comes too close to a Tomato, it will lunge at them and damage them. The Kongs cannot even fight back as the attacks cannot harm the evil fruit. In order to combat the Tomatoes, Chunky Kong must jump into a nearby Hunky Chunky Barrel to become Hunky Chunky.

When Hunky Chunky approaches the Tomatoes, the Worm starts speaking to him, telling that all of its friends were eaten by the Tomatoes and that it could also be eaten unless Chunky defeats the Tomatoes. To defeat a Tomato, Chunky (as Hunky Chunky) must jump onto it. The Worm later rewards Chunky with a Golden Banana after he defeats the Tomatoes and relocates the Worm and its house.

Trivia

  • The tomatoes are the only enemies in Donkey Kong 64 who are immune to the Kongs' musical instrument move.
