[[File:Mini-Necky.png|thumb|180px|left|Artwork from ''Donkey Kong Country'', showing Mini-Necky's original design]]
In ''Donkey Kong Country'', Mini-Neckys (also referred to as '''Necky Jnr's''' on one occasion)<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) #26, Special page 22.</ref> attack [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] by spitting out [[coconut]]s, which move horizontally in the [[Kong]]s' direction. Some Mini-Neckys 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-Neckys appear in four levels: [[Vulture Culture]], [[Ice Age Alley]], [[Trick Track Trek]], and [[Elevator Antics]]. Mini-Neckys and Neckys are the main enemies in Vulture Culture. In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Color)|Game Boy Color version]], Mini-Neckys appear in two more levels, [[Winky's Walkway]] and [[Necky Nutmare]], respectively making for their first and last level appearances, and Mini-Neckys are also the main enemy of Necky Nutmare. In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], a [[photograph]] of Mini-Necky can be obtained by having [[Donkey Kong]] use a [[Hand Slap]] in the center of the boss level, [[Necky's Nuts]].
In ''Donkey Kong Country'', Mini-Neckys (also referred to as '''Necky Jnr's''' on one occasion)<ref>{{cite|language=en-gb|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) #26, Special|page=22|date=November 1994}}</ref> attack [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] by spitting out [[coconut]]s, which move horizontally in the [[Kong]]s' direction. Some Mini-Neckys move up and down while spitting out coconuts. A Mini-Necky can be defeated from either being jumped on or being hit by a [[barrel]]. In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Color)|first remake]] only, Mini-Neckys appear in two more levels, [[Winky's Walkway]] and [[Necky Nutmare]].


====''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''====
In ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'', Mini-Neckys behave identically as in ''Donkey Kong Country'' and likewise have four level appearances: [[Deck Trek]], [[Landslide Leap]], [[Kong Krazy]], and [[Fast Barrel Blast]].
[[File:MiniNeckyDKC2.jpg|thumb|Artwork from ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', showing Mini-Necky's later design]]
Mini-Neckys are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. They and [[Zinger]]s are the only enemies returning from ''Donkey Kong Country''. To correspond to the game's pirate theme, Mini-Neckys wear red polka-dotted bandannas on their heads. They appear slightly larger than in ''Donkey Kong Country'' and have a different behavior in that when it notices Diddy and [[Dixie Kong]], Mini-Necky swoops down to try and attack them. They also have a deeper voice than in the previous game. 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-Neckys which swoop at the Kongs individually; only one of them is normal, and the Kongs must jump on to summon a barrel that can be thrown at Kreepy Krow. In the cast roll, a Mini-Necky appears under the [[Lazy Landlubbers]] category.

Mini-Neckys are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. They act the same as in ''Donkey Kong Country''.
Mini-Neckys also appear as enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Aside from [[Zinger]]s, Mini-Neckys are the only enemies that return from ''Donkey Kong Country''. To correspond to the game's pirate theme, Mini-Neckys wear red polka-dotted bandannas on their heads. They appear slightly larger than in ''Donkey Kong Country''. Unlike Zingers, Mini-Neckys 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. 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-Neckys which swoop at the Kongs individually; only one of them is normal, and the Kongs must jump on to summon a barrel that can be thrown at Kreepy Krow.


====''Donkey Kong Land 2''====
Mini-Neckys appear in the following 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]], [[Castle Crush]], [[Chain Link Chamber (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Chain Link Chamber]], and [[Screech's Sprint (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Screech's Sprint]], and [[Animal Antics (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Animal Antics]]. Aside from levels, a Mini-Necky appears in the ending's Cast of Characters, as part of the [[Lazy Landlubbers]] category.
'''Neckys'''<ref>{{file link|Mini-Necky DKL2 ending.png|''Donkey Kong Land 2'' ending screenshot}}</ref><ref>{{cite|date=April 1997|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Issue #49|page=53|language=en-au}}</ref> are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''. 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]], as well as during the boss level [[Kreepy Krow (Donkey Kong Land 2 level)|Kreepy Krow]], acting the same as before. Because of the [[Game Boy]] color's monochromatic palette, regular Neckys cannot be distinguished from their ghostly variant. During the ending, a Necky appears in "The Baddies" category.
 
In ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', they are named '''Neckys''',<ref>{{media link|Mini-Necky DKL2 ending.png|''Donkey Kong Land 2'' ending screenshot}}</ref><ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Issue #49, page 53.</ref> and retain their behavior from ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''. 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]], as well as during the boss level [[Kreepy Krow (Donkey Kong Land 2 level)|Kreepy Krow]], acting the same as in the original game. Because of the [[Game Boy]] color's monochromatic palette, regular Neckys cannot be distinguished from their ghostly variant. During the ending, a Necky appears in "The Baddies" category.


===''DK: King of Swing'' / ''DK: Jungle Climber''===
===''DK: King of Swing'' / ''DK: Jungle Climber''===
Mini-Neckys are enemies in ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'' and ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]''. They have blue feathers in both games instead of black. Mini-Neckys attack by spitting coconuts at [[Donkey Kong]] or charging at him, like in ''Donkey Kong Country''. In ''DK: King of Swing'', Mini-Neckys first appear in [[Necky's Canyon]] while in ''DK: Jungle Climber'', they first appear in [[Cliffy Peak]].
Mini-Neckys 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-Neckys 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-Neckys first appear in [[Necky's Canyon]] while in ''DK: Jungle Climber'', they first appear in [[Cliffy Peak]].


===''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast''===
===''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast''===
Mini-Neckys 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]].
