Neek: Difference between revisions

== History ==

In their debut appearance, Neeks are among the weakest enemies, similar to [[Gnawty]] from the first ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', and only move back and forth in an area. [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] can defeat a Neek, which includes throwing an object, such as a [[barrel]], at them, jumping on them, or rolling into them. When the [[Kong]]s encounter a Neek, it makes a sound that is similar to a mouse's squeak. Neeks appear in every world, and they debut in the first level, [[Pirate Panic (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Pirate Panic]], as the first enemy encountered by the Kongs.

In the [[Game Over]] screen, a Neek appears in the lower-left corner, near Diddy's left leg.

Neeks reappear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', where they have the same role as in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''. Like their debut appearance, Neeks are first encountered in the first level, [[Pirate Panic (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Pirate Panic]]. A Neek still appears in the Game Over screen, which was reused from ''Donkey Kong Country 2''.

Neeks appear in both ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'' and ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]''. They move around on the [[Peg Board]]s, and if [[Donkey Kong]] comes in contact with a Neek, he loses a heart of his health. In both games, Donkey Kong can defeat a Neek by charging into it.

In the ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic adaptation of ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', several Neeks appear to menace [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] on the [[Gangplank Galleon]]. These Neeks are handily defeated by the [[Kong]]s, who simply jump on them. Later in the comic, a single Neek appears alongside various other monsters in [[K. Rool's Keep]]. In this comic, Neeks were portrayed as being capable of speaking, instead of simply making squeaking sounds.
