==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country''===
Neckys are enemies in ''Donkey Kong Country''. They have one of two behaviors: throwing coconuts while perched or flying left or right continuously. Neckys can be defeated from either being [[stomp]]ed or being hit by a [[barrel]]. The coconut-throwing type can also be defeated from being rolled into. Their coconuts can damage the [[Kong]]s. The flying Neckys are often required to cross gaps or to enter a [[Bonus Barrel]], such as the ones at the start of [[Tree Top Town]] and [[Snow Barrel Blast]]. There are two Necky bosses, [[Master Necky]] and [[Master Necky Snr.]], both only ever seen by their head.

===''Donkey Kong Land''===
Perched, nut-throwing Neckys reappear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'' along with Mini-Neckys. They are encountered in [[Congo Carnage]] and [[Pot Hole Panic (Donkey Kong Land)|Pot Hole Panic]] only. While only the perched type appears, their defeat sprites resemble upside-down flying sprites.

===''Donkey Kong Country Barrel Maze''===
Buzzards<ref>{{cite|author="Help" screen|title=''[[Donkey Kong Country Barrel Maze]]''|quote=BUZZARD: Flies above and tries to cause damage by dropping coconuts on your barrel.}}</ref> are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Barrel Maze]]''. They appear in levels 3, 8, and 9. Buzzards fly above the playable barrel, attempting to drop coconuts on it. If the barrel gets hit by a Buzzard's coconut, it loses some energy.

===''DK: King of Swing''===
Although Neckys do not return in ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'', the second boss, [[Fire Necky]], is a type of Necky.

===''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast''===
Neckys are obstacles in ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]''. They appear in [[Mt. Dynamite]], [[Cranky's Temple]], and [[Temple Heights]]. If a racer hits into a Necky, it latches on them, slowing them down. A Necky can be defeated by one hit, and they help a racer perform [[Wild Move]] combos.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
Neckys only appear in the background of two stages in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series. In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', Neckys sometimes appear in the sunset sky of the [[Kongo Jungle (Super Smash Bros.)|Kongo Jungle]] stage, using their original sprites; they return with the stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Featureless bird silhouettes that are likely intended to be Neckys also fly across the distant background of [[Jungle Japes (stage)|Jungle Japes]] in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', returning in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]''.

===Unused appearances===
====''Donkey Kong Racing''====

Neckys appear in the trailer of the canceled ''[[Donkey Kong Racing]]''. They appear in the background at the start when the logo displays, and in a stampede at the end, where [[Kiddy Kong]] and [[Ellie]] are accompanied by other enemies.
