Screech (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)

Screech is an evil brown parrot and member of the Kremling Krew.

Screech is first encountered in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, here he is the only boss (not counting Kaptain K. Rool) in the area The Flying Krock and the last obstacle between Diddy, Dixie Kong and K. Rool.

After some adventuring through the bramble filled maze that is "Screech's Sprint" Diddy and Dixie find and use an Animal Barrel which transforms them into Squawks the Parrot. Approaching Screech who is nearby, the evil parrot challenges them to a race through the bramble maze.

Racing through a barrage of Zingers the Kongs turned parrot managed to pull ahead of Screech and pass the banana finish line.

Screech reappears in Donkey Kong Country 2's semi-sequel Donkey Kong Land 2. Once again he races the Kongs and once again he is defeated.

If the player fails to defeat Screech then they will have to re-race him.

Trivia

 * Screech has his own theme music which plays when he is being raced. In the GameBoy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country 2's Screech's theme music plays while Diddy and Dixie (transformed into Rambi the Rhinoceros) are being chased through the last stretch of the level "Rambi Rumble" by King Zing.
 * The evil parrot Polly Roger from the Donkey Kong Country animated series may be based (loosely) off Screech.
