'''Neeks''' are | '''Neeks''' are large, gray rats and enemies that first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''.<ref>{{cite|title=''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet|page=[[Media:DKC2 Manual 28-29.jpg|28]]|date=1995|publisher=Nintendo of America|author=Nintendo|language=en-us}}</ref> In 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]]. | ||

In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', a Neek makes a sound effect similarly to a mouse's squeak when encountered by [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]], and it only moves back and forth. A Neek can be defeated from either having a [[barrel]] or other object thrown at it, being jumped on, or rolled into. Neeks first appear in the first level, [[Pirate Panic (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Pirate Panic]], where they are also the first enemy encountered, and appear in at least one level in every other world except for Crazy Kremland. Additionally, the [[Game Over]] screen shows a Neek at the bottom left, near Diddy's left leg. | |||

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. | 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]].

A Neek | A Neek makes a brief appearance 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. | ||
===''Donkey Kong Land 2''=== | |||
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''. | |||

Neeks | Neeks appear in ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'' and ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]'', the two games of the [[DK (series)|''DK'' series]]. They move around on the [[Peg Board]]s, and if [[Donkey Kong]] touches a Neek, he loses a heart of his health. In both games, Donkey Kong can defeat a Neek by charging into it. | ||

*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>{{cite|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7X1ZmPrWmw|title=Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble E3 1996 Promotional Trailer|date=November 2, 2013|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=May 19, 2024|author=RarewareArchives}}</ref> | |||
