{{quote2|Named for the annoying little squeaking sounds they make, these bilge rats infest every corner of [[Crocodile Isle]]. Check out their cool rendered fur!|''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest|Donkey Kong Country 2]]'' manual, page 28}} | |||
'''Neeks''' are large, gray rats and enemies that first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''.<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet, [[Media:DKC2 Manual 28-29.jpg|page 28]].</ref> In each of their appearances, Neeks are one of the weakest enemies and can be defeated from any attack. | |||
Behaviorally, Neeks act as the successor to [[Gnawty]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', Neeks were succeeded by a different rat enemy, [[Sneek]]. | |||

===''Donkey Kong'' series=== | |||
====''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''==== | |||
In their debut appearance, Neeks are among the weakest enemies, similar to [[Gnawty]] from the first ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', and only move back and forth in an area. [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] can defeat a Neek, which includes throwing an object, such as a [[barrel]], at them, jumping on them, or rolling into them. When the [[Kong]]s encounter a Neek, it makes a sound that is similar to a mouse's squeak. Neeks appear in every world, and they debut in the first level, [[Pirate Panic (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Pirate Panic]], as the first enemy encountered by the Kongs. | |||
In the [[Game Over]] screen, a Neek appears in the lower-left corner, near Diddy's left leg. | |||
= | ====''Donkey Kong Land 2''==== | ||
===''Donkey Kong | Neeks reappear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', where they have the same role as in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''. Like their debut appearance, Neeks are first encountered in the first level, [[Pirate Panic (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Pirate Panic]]. A Neek still appears in the Game Over screen, which was reused from ''Donkey Kong Country 2''. | ||
====''DK: King of Swing'' / ''DK: Jungle Climber''==== | |||
Neeks appear in both ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'' and ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]''. They move around on the [[Peg Board]]s, and if [[Donkey Kong]] comes in contact with a Neek, he loses a heart of his health. In both games, Donkey Kong can defeat a Neek by charging into it. | |||
==='' | ===''Club Nintendo''=== | ||
In the ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic adaptation of ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', several Neeks appear to menace [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] 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''=== | ||
[[File:NeekKun.png|thumb|150px|right|Neek in ''Super Mario-Kun'']] | |||
A Neek makes a brief cameo 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. | |||

*In early footage of ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', particularly the E3 1996 promotional trailer, [[Kiddy Kong]] is shown fighting Neeks rather than Sneeks in the levels [[Doorstop Dash]], [[Kreeping Klasps]], and [[Squeals on Wheels]].<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7X1ZmPrWmw E3 1996 Promotional Trailer]</ref> | |||
