In ''Donkey Kong Country'', Neckys are common enemies who appear in many levels, especially in [[Vine Valley (world)|Vine Valley]]. There are two types of Neckys: one is perched and throws coconuts in a predetermined direction, while the other flies straightforward. Both types can be defeated if [[stomp]]ed or from having a [[barrel]] thrown at them. Additionally, coconut-throwing Neckys 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]]. The flying Neckys appear in more levels than the coconut-throwing variant. There are two Necky bosses, both only ever seen by their head, [[Master Necky]] and [[Master Necky Snr.]] | |||

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

Neckys | Neckys appear as obstacles in ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]''. They are obstacles in three courses, [[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. | ||
