Trivia
- Screech has his own theme music which plays when he is being raced. In the Game Boy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, Screech's theme music plays while Diddy and Dixie (transformed into Rambi the Rhino) are being chased through the last stretch of the level "Rambi Rumble" by King Zing.
- Screech appears in the background of the Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest box, where he whacks Squawks with a baseball bat. Screech also appears in group artwork where Diddy and Dixie move through a bramble area despite them never directly encountering Screech themselves.
