| == History ==
| |
| ===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' / ''Donkey Kong Land 2''===
| |
| Neeks are enemies in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', where their role is identical between both games. Neeks move back and forth only, and make a sound effect similar to a mouse's squeak when encountered by [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]]. A Neek can be defeated either from being hit by a [[barrel]] or another object, being jumped on, or rolled into. Neeks appear in at least one level in every other world except for [[Krazy Kremland]]. Both games use a [[Game Over]] screen that shows a Neek at the bottom left, near Diddy's left leg.

| ===''Club Nintendo''===
| | '''Neeks'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet, [[Media:DKC2 Manual 28-29.jpg|page 28]].</ref> are large, gray rats inhabiting both [[Crocodile Isle]], [[Donkey Kong Island]] and various other places. Neeks are named after the squeaking sounds they make as they walk and are noted as having "cool rendered fur". |
| In the ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic adaptation of ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', several Neeks appear to menace Diddy and Dixie on the [[Gangplank Galleon]]. These Neeks are handily defeated by the [[Kong]]s, who simply jump on them. Later in the comic, a single Neek appears alongside various other monsters in [[K. Rool's Keep]]. In this comic, Neeks were portrayed as being capable of speaking, instead of simply making squeaking sounds.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===''Super Mario-kun''===
| | Neeks first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' as basic and weak enemies, capable of being defeated in various manners, such as having something thrown at them or simply being [[jump]]ed on. Neeks retain the role of common and easily defeated enemies in the [[Game Boy]] sequel to ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. |
| [[File:NeekKun.png|thumb|150px|Neek in ''Super Mario-kun'']] | |
| A Neek appears briefly in Volume 14 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. The last part of the book has a series of comics based on ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', including a 'find the differences' activity between several enemies, including Neek.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===''DK'' series===
| | In both ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'' and ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]'', Neeks are enemies capable of crawling on pegs and can hurt the player's character by simply touching them. In these two games, Neeks can be defeated by simply charging into them. |
| Neeks are enemies in ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'' and ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]'', behaving identically in both games. They move around on the [[Peg Board]]s, and if [[Donkey Kong]] touches a Neek, he loses a heart of his health. Donkey Kong can defeat a Neek by charging into it.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Profiles and statistics==
| | Although Neeks do not make an appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', another species of rat similarly named [[Sneek]]s take their place. |
