Perched, nut-throwing Neckys reappear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'' along with Mini-Neckys. Neckys are exceedingly rare, appearing only in two levels, [[Congo Carnage]] and [[Pot Hole Panic (Donkey Kong Land)|Pot Hole Panic]]. While only the perched type appears, their defeat sprites resemble upside-down flying sprites.

"''BUZZARD: Flies above and tries to cause damage by dropping coconuts on your barrel.''"</ref>) In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', two Buzzards appear in [[Angry Aztec]]. One of these Buzzards is in the Temple where [[Tiny Kong]] is imprisoned. Lanky can find the Buzzard by swimming underwater and then entering a room with a pyramid-shaped structure. There, Lanky must [[Simian Slam]] on a [[Cranky's Kong Pad|Lanky Pad]] to release a Buzzard from the walls. The Buzzard is holding on a Golden Banana with its talons, and can be defeated when Lanky shoots five grapes at it. When the Buzzard is defeated, Lanky can obtain the Golden Banana.
The other [[Buzzard (character)|Buzzard]] is not an enemy, and he challenges [[Diddy Kong]] to a race. If Diddy wins the race, he is rewarded a Golden Banana.

Buzzards appear in levels 3, 8, and 9 of ''[[Donkey Kong Country Barrel Maze]]''. They fly above the playable barrel, attempting to drop coconuts on it. If the barrel gets hit by a Buzzard's coconut, it loses some energy.
