| == 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.

| | '''Neeks''' 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".<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet, [[Media:DKC2 Manual 28-29.jpg|page 28]].</ref> |
| 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; they are thus the ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' equivalent of [[Gnawty|Gnawties]]. Neeks retain the role of common and easily defeated enemies in the [[Game Boy]] counterpart 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===
| | 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. |
| 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==
| | Neeks return in both ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'' and ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]''; they are 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. |
