'''Screaming Pillars''' are tall living pillar structures and members of the [[Tiki Tak Tribe]], usually acting as obstacles. In most games, they are found asleep or overall inactive, until a certain action alerts them. Screaming Pillars startle very suddenly and might fall on the ground, crushing any creature lying underneath them and remaining completely inert afterwards. | '''Screaming Pillars''' are tall living pillar structures and members of the [[Tiki Tak Tribe]], usually acting as obstacles.

Noteworthy is that Screaming Pillars react to the Kongs at different ranges. Some of them only topple if the Kongs are within very close range, such as in [[Wonky Waterway]], while others are able to locate the primates further and then fall, as seen in [[Damp Dungeon]]. A level called [[Five Monkey Trial]] contains several Screaming Pillars which collapse regardless of the Kongs' close presence, and also instantly break upon hitting the ground without the heroes' intervention. | Noteworthy is that Screaming Pillars react to the Kongs at different ranges.

An [[Screaming Pillar (big)|enormous variant]] is present in the levels [[Canopy Cannons]] and (exclusively to the [[Nintendo 3DS]] port) [[Crushin' Columns]]. Their scream is much louder and more intense, and they take out the Kongs completely when falling onto them. | |||

Screaming Pillars return in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as obstacles on the [[DK Jungle (3DS)|DK Jungle]] racetrack. While usually dormant, they scream every once in a while, powerfully blowing air to push hanggliding players back. Their appearance has been slightly updated with the addition of stone eyebrows. | Screaming Pillars return in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as obstacles on the [[DK Jungle (3DS)|DK Jungle]] racetrack.

Screaming Pillars appear on the [[DK Jungle (golf course)|DK Jungle]] golf course in ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]''. Much like in ''Mario Kart 7'', they occasionally pop strong air currents out of their mouths, which can push the golf ball in a direction. Screaming Pillars are present near Hole 1 and Hole 9.
