-'''Screech''' is a large, brown and red parrot and a member of the [[Kremling Krew]]; he is also possibly the pet of the Kremling Krew's leader, [[Kaptain K. Rool]].
+'''Screech''' is a parrot enemy who appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. He is a dark-brown parrot with red tail feathers and a white beak and talons. He is slightly larger than [[Squawks]]. Screech has big yellow eyes with two small pupils and has three claws on each talon. His wings are red at the tip. Screech's role is the same in both games, where he appears at the second half of his own level, [[Screech's Sprint]], where the [[Kong]]s must enter an [[Animal Barrel]] to transform into [[Squawks]] to race Screech, both of which compete to cross the finish line first. The race ends when either Screech or Squawks crosses the line first. If Screech wins, the Kongs lose a life. In the ending's Cast of Characters, Screech is categorized under [[Lazy Landlubbers]].
-==History==
+Squawks appears in two pieces of promotional artwork, including the game cover, where he fights Squawks using a baseball bat, and in a bramble area, where [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] are seen passing by him.
-===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''===
-In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', Screech appears as a mini-boss in the area [[Flying Krock|The Flying Krock]]. Instead of battling Screech directly, [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] would instead race him as [[Squawks the Parrot]] after transforming into him using an [[Animal Barrel]]; the race against Screech takes place in the [[bramble]] and [[Zinger]] filled "[[Screech's Sprint]]" and would end once either Screech or Squawks crossed a finish line composed of [[banana]]s. If Squawks were to lose against Screech, he would also lose a [[Balloon|life]] and have to race him again. Once Screech was beaten, Diddy and Dixie Kong could gain access to Kaptain K. Rool's airship, the Flying Krock.
-===''Donkey Kong Land 2''===
+Screech has his own theme music, "Bad Bird Rag," which plays during his race. In the [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]] of ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Screech's theme music plays while [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] (transformed into [[Rambi]]) are being chased through the last stretch of the level [[Rambi Rumble]] by [[King Zing]].
-Evidently surviving the exploding and sinking of [[Crocodile Isle]], Screech makes a return in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', once again standing between Dixie and Diddy Kong and Kaptain K. Rool; Screech would have to be raced again by Squawks and beaten to reach the Flying Krock.

-*Screech has his own theme music which plays when he is being raced. In the GameBoy Advance remake of ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', 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]].
