'''Master Necky Snr.''' (stylized as '''Master Necky, Sr.''' in the Nintendo Player's Guide)<ref>{{cite|title=''Donkey Kong Country'' Player's Guide|page=118|date=1994|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> is a gigantic [[Necky]] and the sixth boss of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Like its weaker counterpart, [[Master Necky]], Master Necky Snr. is only ever seen by its head, but Master Necky Snr. is different in that its body and the tip of its beak are purple. Master Necky Snr. is fought in [[Necky's Revenge]] at the end of [[Chimp Caverns]], just before the final boss fight against [[King K. Rool]]. Master Necky Snr. fights similarly to Master Necky, but it spits [[coconut]]s both faster and farther. At first, Master Necky Snr. starts by spitting one coconut at the [[Kong]]s, but following each hit, Master Necky Snr. spits one more coconut than before. Master Necky Snr. can be attacked by [[jump]]ing on its head. After five hits, Master Necky Snr. falls on the ground in defeat.


'''Master Necky Snr.''' is a gigantic [[Necky]] and the sixth boss of the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. He is also the guardian of the area known as the [[Chimp Caverns]], appearing in the level '''Necky's Revenge'''. Master Necky Snr. is one of the most important bosses in the [[Kremling Krew]], as he is the final obstacle before [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]] and [[Diddy Kong]] can challenge the leader of the [[Kremling]]s himself, [[King K. Rool]].  
In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Master Necky Snr. is accompanied by Master Necky during his battle. Their attack pattern involves both of them spitting out a nut, one after the other. When Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong jump on either boss five times, that boss is defeated. Afterward, the other boss starts shooting four nuts in succession. Defeating both bosses requires that they be jumped on five times.


Master Necky Snr. fights similarly to the first [[Master Necky]]. However, instead of shooting one [[coconut]] at Diddy and Donkey Kong, Master Necky Snr. shoots an increasing amount of coconuts at the [[Kongs]]. Before he is hit, Master Necky Snr. shoots only one coconut at a time. However, after he is hit the first time, Senior shoots two coconuts at a time. After two hits, he shoots three coconuts, etc. Additionally, Master Necky Snr.'s coconuts fly farther and faster than Master Necky's coconuts.

To defeat Master Necky Snr., Donkey or Diddy must use the bouncy tire in the center of the vulture's lair to [[jump]] high in the air and stomp on Master Necky Snr.'s head. After five hits, Master Necky Snr. will collapse on the floor. After the battle, Donkey Kong recovers his Giant [[Banana]]s and heads to King K. Rool's [[Gangplank Galleon|pirate ship]] for the final showdown.

In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', Necky's Revenge  contains both Master Necky and Master Necky Snr. working together on defeating the Kongs. In the first movement, they both fire a single nut, one after the other. After one is defeated, the other goes crazy and shoots four nuts at a time. When Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong jump on them both four times, they will be defeated.

*Oddly, in his artwork, Master Necky Snr. has a pink beak with a yellow end, while in-game, he has a light yellow beak with a purple end.
