Tiki Bombers[1] are enemies that appear in Donkey Kong Country Returns and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D. They first appear in the Ruins world. They are wooden and shaped like a bongo, just like a handful of other Tiki Tak Tribe members.

Tiki Bombers have a similar appearance to Tiki Torches except that they are shrouded in blue flames instead of red and are also slightly smaller. Tiki Bombers have the unique ability of simultaneously releasing a fireball both left and right. Donkey Kong can still blow at a Tiki Bomber to temporarily extinguish its flames, although its fireball attack makes this more difficult. An uncommon variant of Tiki Bomber[2] drops the fireballs in an arc. While its flames are doused, Tiki Bombers are vulnerable to any attack, including a jump, a roll attack, and throwing a DK Barrel at it.
