| | '''Neckies''' are large brown vultures that prowl the skies of [[Donkey Kong Island]]. They seem to be affiliated with the [[Kremling Krew]]. |

| ===''Donkey Kong Country''=== | | ===''DK Country'' and ''DK Land'' titles=== |
| 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''===
| |
| Neckys are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. Only the perched, nut-throwing type is ever encountered, in both [[Congo Carnage]] and [[Pot Hole Panic (Donkey Kong Land)|Pot Hole Panic]]. Their defeat sprites resemble upside-down flying sprites.

|
| ===''Donkey Kong Country Barrel Maze''===
| | The first appearance of Neckies was in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''; they were common enemies and reprized that role in the Game Boy sequel, ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. Neckies will try to attack [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] by flying into them, or by hitting them with coconuts. Neckies can be defeated by being jumping upon or hit by a barrel. ''Donkey Kong Country'' also features two Necky bosses named [[Master Necky]] and [[Master Necky Snr.]] |
| 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''===
| | There is also a smaller subspecies of Neckies called [[Mini-Necky|Mini-Neckies]]. In ''Donkey Kong Country'' and ''Donkey Kong Land'', they fire nuts at the player; in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' they lose this ability and instead launch themselves at the player. ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' and ''Donkey Kong Land 2'' also has a Mini-Necky boss named [[Krow]]. Normal Neckies don't appear in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' or ''Donkey Kong Land 2'' and neither species appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]'' or ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. |
| Although Neckys do not return in ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'', the second boss, [[Fire Necky]], is a type of Necky.

| ===''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast''=== | | ===''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''=== |
| 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.
| | [[Image:DK64 Necky.png|thumb|left|A Necky in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', shot by [[Lanky Kong]]]] |
| | In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', two vultures that are presumably Neckies appear in the area [[Angry Aztec]]. One of these vultures is located in the Temple where [[Tiny Kong]] is found, and must be blasted several times with Lanky's [[Grape Shooter]] in order to cause it to drop its [[Golden Banana]]. The other Necky is actually benevolent and capable of speech. After [[Diddy Kong]] frees the vulture from the cage it is trapped in near [[Snide's HQ]], it will challenge Diddy to a game; if Diddy can fly through all the rings the Necky drops he will obtain a [[Golden Banana]]. |

| ===''Super Smash Bros.'' series=== | | ===[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''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]]''.
| | In the game ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', Neckies can sometimes be seen flying in the background of the [[Kongo Jungle|Congo Jungle]] stage. In ''Super Smash Bros.'s'' sequel, ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', Neckies can be seen in the background of the arena [[Jungle Japes]]. |
