I think I prefer Tiki as a whole over Mystery Mask. I love the car chase in San Francisco (One of my favorite scenes from this series) but it starts to slow down afterwards. Tiki isn't the greatest Scooby episode of all-time but I do really like that Hawaiian atmosphere and the Witch-Doctor. Interesting that the episode doesn't feature a chase song, it does give it touch of earlier Scooby-Doo in that regard.

This one is an interesting comparison
First option is Mystery Mask Mix Up. It is probably one of the weaker episodes of the original series. With that being said, it definitely has its highlights. It quite possibly has the best musical chase scene in the second season. And there are a few jokes here and there that hit well, such as the store room one. Other than that, it is borderline politically incorrect, and a below average episode beyond that. I still like it though. It's a Scooby Doo Where are You episode after all
A Tiki Scare is No Fair is also not one of my favorites of the original series and falls below the average marker for me. Not really much to say about this one besides that it is a pretty decent episode
Winner of this matchup is A Tiki Scare is No Fair

I would also pick A Tiki Scare is No Fair, but like Matt I don't have much to say about the episode other than I enjoyed the atmosphere and the two different villains were neat.

My vote automatically goes to Tiki Scare. Both episodes have racist elements, but Mask's are much more present. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Tiki Scare's not that bad compared to some other episodes in the franchise's history.

It's like no matter how much I enjoy other elements of the episode, this episode is always gonna be towards the bottom of the series for me. Probably always bottom 3. However, I will say that at least there are SOME redeeming factors unlike the Scrappy short "Scooby Doo Guru" which is both racially offensive and offensively bad

A Tiki Scare is No Fair is my favourite episode of Season 2, so it's definitely my pick. The Hawaiian locale and fun filled antics definitely elivate it above "Mystery Mask" imo - Not that it's a bad episode but I find the temple setting and capers, within, to be pretty repetitive.

I had forgotten what an amazing episode A Tiki Scare is No Fair was. I remembered Mystery Mask Mix-up quite well and that I enjoyed it a great deal as a child. I believe it still holds up quite well and the atmosphere is somewhat unique in a sense. While it does have some things going for it I have to admit Tiki is the superior episode due to the aforementioned ambiance and general style of the episode. At the end of the day I consider both a treat to watch!
