'''Screech''' is a parrot enemy who appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. He is a dark-brown parrot with red tail feathers and a white beak and talons. He is slightly larger than [[Squawks]]. Screech has big yellow eyes with two small pupils and has three claws on each talon. His wings are red at the tip. Screech's role is the same in both games, where he appears at the second half of his own level, [[Screech's Sprint]], where the [[Kong]]s 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]].

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. Screech 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.

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.
