'''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 an [[List of enemies|enemy]] [[List of characters|character]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. He is a dark-brown parrot with red tail feathers, a white beak, big yellow eyes with two small pupils, and three claws on each talon. Screech has an identical role between 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]]. 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.


==History==
Screech has his own theme music, "Bad Bird Rag," which plays during his race. In the [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]] 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 by [[King Zing]] through the last stretch of the level [[Rambi Rumble (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Rambi Rumble]].
===''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.

==Profiles and statistics==
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 is an enemy character in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2. He is a dark-brown parrot with red tail feathers, a white beak, big yellow eyes with two small pupils, and three claws on each talon. Screech has an identical role between both games, where he appears at the second half of his own level, Screech's Sprint, where the Kongs 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. 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 and Dixie are seen passing by him.

Screech has his own theme music, "Bad Bird Rag," which plays during his race. In the remake 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 by King Zing through the last stretch of the level Rambi Rumble.
