Tiki Dooms[1] are enemies in Donkey Kong Country Returns and its port. Tiki Dooms are encountered in many areas, especially the Jungle and Forest worlds, but they are also common in the Golden Temple level. Tiki Dooms are large members of the Tiki Tak Tribe and appear to be a larger variant of Tiki Goons. Tiki Dooms are wooden and shaped like a bongo. They have a large head with a cloth on top, a square nose, black eyeballs with glowing pupils, and wear a yellow-striped red skirt. Tiki Dooms have four horns, two on each side of their head, and three beaded strings are attached to each of the two lower horns. They have red facial markings that resemble a downward-pointing arrow. Like many other enemies, Tiki Dooms simply walk from side to side, except Tiki Dooms move slowly. A Tiki Doom can be defeated from either being jumped on three times, being rolled into, being hit by a barrel, or being hit by Rambi. The Kongs obtain a Banana Coin by defeating a Tiki Doom. When Donkey Kong first jumps on a Tiki Doom, its facial expression changes, and its eyes appear to be drowsy.

Donkey Kong Country Returns[edit]
- Prima's Official Strategy Guide: "This large version of the Tiki Goon is tougher to take down. You must jump high to make sure you land on it and then get in three hits before it goes down. Each jump on a Tiki Doom counts as a jump for the combos to earn coins and balloons. Therefore, if you jump on it three times to knock it out, you will get a coin. If the Tiki Doom is jumped on after hitting two other enemies in a row first, you can actually get three coins for jumping on the Tiki Doom since it will count as your third, fourth, and fifth hits!"[1]
