Tiki Pops are bomb-like enemies that appear inDonkey Kong Country Returns and itsNintendo 3DS andNintendo Switch ports. They are Tikis who carry anaval mine-likebomb on their head, and they have yellow eyes and wear a red skirt-like clothing.

Tiki Pops appear in theRuins boss level,Ruined Roost, where whenStu has received enough damage, he starts throwing them atDonkey Kong andDiddy Kong. Tiki Pops follow theKongs around, and they must avoid contact with Tiki Pops as this injures them. Tiki Pops also flash to indicate that they will soon detonate.
