Screech is an enemy character in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2. He is a dark-brown parrot with red tail feathers, a white beak, big yellow eyes with two small pupils, and three claws on each talon. Screech has an identical role between both games, where he appears at the second half of his own level, Screech's Sprint, where the Kongs must enter an Animal Barrel to transform into Squawks to race Screech, both of which compete to cross the finish line first. The race ends when either Screech or Squawks crosses the line first. If Screech wins, the Kongs lose a life. In the ending's Cast of Characters, Screech is categorized under Lazy Landlubbers. Squawks appears in two pieces of promotional artwork, including the game cover, where he fights Squawks using a baseball bat, and in a bramble area, where Diddy and Dixie are seen passing by him.

Screech has his own theme music, "Bad Bird Rag," which plays during his race. In the remake of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, Screech's theme music plays while Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong (transformed into Rambi) are being chased by King Zing through the last stretch of the level Rambi Rumble.
