== History ==
===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''===
In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', a Neek makes a sound effect similarly to a mouse's squeak when encountered by [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]], and it only moves back and forth. A Neek can be defeated from either having a [[barrel]] or other object thrown at it, being jumped on, or rolled into. Neeks first appear in the first level, [[Pirate Panic (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Pirate Panic]], where they are also the first enemy encountered, and appear in at least one level in every other world. Additionally, the [[Game Over]] screen shows a Neek at the bottom left, near Diddy's left leg.


== History ==
===''Club Nintendo''===
===''Donkey Kong'' series===
In the ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic adaptation of ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', several Neeks appear to menace Diddy and Dixie 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.
====''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''====
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.
===''Super Mario-Kun''===
[[File:NeekKun.png|thumb|150px|Neek in ''Super Mario-Kun'']]
A Neek makes a brief appearance in Volume 14 of ''[[Super Mario-Kun]]''. The last part of the book has a series of comics based on ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', including a 'find the differences' activity between several enemies, including Neek.


====''Donkey Kong Land 2''====
===''Donkey Kong Land 2''===
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''.

====''DK: King of Swing'' / ''DK: Jungle Climber''====
===''DK: King of Swing'' / ''DK: Jungle Climber''===
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.
