'''Master Necky''' is the boss of the [[Monkey Mines]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and is a large [[Necky]] as it appears. He is the second boss of the game and is fought in the level '''Necky's Nuts'''. In battle, Master Necky spits [[coconut]]s at [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]]. To defeat this enormous bird, Donkey or Diddy must use the bouncy tire in the middle of the bird's banana lair to [[Jump]] up high and stomp Master Necky's head. After five hits, Master Necky collapses and Donkey Kong recovers a Giant Banana. The player never gets to see Master Necky's whole body; only his head appears on the screen.


In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, Master Necky is bright red before and after he attacks, becoming temporarily invincible. The Kongs can't damage him until he spits out a coconut, showing his normal color, but he turns red again as he leaves the screen. Master Necky also helps out [[Master Necky Snr.]] by battling the Kongs in the Game Boy Advance remake and they will both shoot a coconut at the [[Kong]]s. If one of the birds are jumped on four times, the other one will become mad and shoot four coconuts at a time at the Kongs. If both are jumped on four times, they will both be defeated and the Kongs can then fight [[King K. Rool]].
