'''Mini-Neckies''' are a smaller variant of [[Necky|Neckies]] and recurring enemies in the ''[[Donkey Kong (franchise)|Donkey Kong]]'' franchise. They first appear ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and have since appeared in more games than Neckies. | |||

[[File:Vulture Culture GBA.png|thumb|left|A Mini-Necky spits a coconut in the Kongs' direction in the Game Boy Advance remake]] | |||
[[File: | Mini-Necky debuts in ''Donkey Kong Country''. They attack [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] by spitting out [[coconut]]s, which move horizontally in the [[Kong]]s' direction. Some Mini-Neckies move up and down while spitting out coconuts. The [[Kong]]s can defeat a Mini-Necky in the same way as a Necky: either by jumping on them or by hitting them with a [[barrel]]. However, if the barrel hits one of Mini-Necky's coconuts, it breaks. Mini-Neckies appear in four levels: | ||
*[[Vulture Culture]] | |||
[[ | *[[Ice Age Alley]] | ||
*[[Trick Track Trek]] | |||
*[[Elevator Antics]] | |||
In the [[Game Boy Color]] version, Mini-Neckies appear in two more levels: [[Winky's Walkway]] and [[Necky Nutmare]], which respectively make up their first and last level appearances. Mini-Neckies and their larger counterpart, Necky are the main enemies in Vulture Culture and Necky Nutmare. | |||
Mini- | |||
In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, Donkey Kong can obtain the [[photograph]] of Mini-Necky by performing a [[Hand Slap]] in the center of the boss level, [[Necky's Nuts]]. | |||

Mini-Neckies make another appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'' where they have the same role as in ''Donkey Kong Country''. They appear in the same number of levels: | |||
*[[Deck Trek]] | |||
*[[Landslide Leap]] | |||
*[[Kong Krazy]] | |||
*[[Fast Barrel Blast]] | |||
===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''=== | |||
[[File:Mudhole Marsh DKC2 Mini-Necky swooping.png|thumb|Two Mini-Neckies swoop at the Kongs in Mudhole Marsh, a level in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'']] | |||
Mini-Neckies also appear as enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Aside from [[Zinger]]s, Mini-Neckies are the only enemies that return from ''Donkey Kong Country''. To correspond to the game's pirate theme, Mini-Neckies wear red polka-dotted bandannas on their heads. They appear slightly larger than in ''Donkey Kong Country''. | |||
Unlike Zingers, Mini-Neckies act different than in ''Donkey Kong Country''. When a Mini-Necky notices Diddy and [[Dixie Kong]], it swoops down, attempting to hit them. They also have a deeper voice than in the previous game. | |||
Mini- | |||
The game also features a large Mini-Necky boss, [[Krow]], who is later fought as [[Kreepy Krow]]. The latter's identically titled [[Kreepy Krow (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest level)|boss level]] features several ghostly Mini-Neckies which swoop at the Kongs individually; only one of them is normal, and the Kongs must jump on that one to make a [[barrel]] appear. The Kongs can throw the barrel at Kreepy Krow to attack him. | |||
Mini- | |||
During the ending's Cast of Characters, a Mini-Necky appears under the [[Lazy Landlubbers]] category. | |||
Mini-Neckies appear in many levels, more than in ''Donkey Kong Country'': | |||
*[[Kannon's Klaim (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Kannon's Klaim]] | |||
*[[Squawks's Shaft (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Squawks's Shaft]] | |||
*[[Bramble Scramble (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Bramble Blast]] | |||
*[[Mudhole Marsh (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Mudhole Marsh]] | |||
*[[Web Woods (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Web Woods]] | |||
*[[Squawks's Shaft (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Squawks's Shaft]] | |||
*[[Bramble Scramble (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Bramble Blast]] | |||
*[[Mudhole Marsh (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Mudhole Marsh]] | |||

===''Donkey Kong Land 2''=== | |||
| | Mini-Neckies make their fourth appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', where they retain their role from ''Donkey Kong Country 2''. They only appear in two levels, [[Kannon's Klaim (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Kannon's Klaim]] and [[Mudhole Marsh (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Mudhole Marsh]]. [[Krow]] and his undead alias, [[Kreepy Krow]], also return as bosses. Mini-Neckies also appear in the game's Kreepy Krow battle with the same role as before. Because of the [[Game Boy]] color's monochromatic palette, the normal Mini-Necky cannot be distinguished from the other ghostly Mini-Neckies. | ||
}} | |||
During the ending, a Mini-Necky appears under "The Baddies" category, and is erroneously named "Necky". | |||
===''DK: King of Swing'' / ''DK: Jungle Climber''=== | |||
Mini-Neckies reappear in ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'' and its sequel, ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]''. Their feathers were changed from black to blue in both. In these games, Mini-Neckies attack by spitting coconuts at [[Donkey Kong]] or charging at him, as in ''Donkey Kong Country'' and ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', respectively. In ''DK: King of Swing'', Mini-Neckies are most common in the [[Wild West World]]. | |||
{{stub|section=yes}} | |||
===''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast''=== | |||
Mini-Neckies appear as [[Balloon (Donkey Kong Barrel Blast)|blue balloon]] items in ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]''. When used by a racer, the Mini-Necky homes in on the nearest opponent behind the racer and rams into them. This results in the opponent losing ten [[banana]]s. If a [[Kremling]] uses a Mini-Necky, the opponent also loses a [[Wild Move]]. | |||
