====''Donkey Kong Country''====
Mini-Necky debuts in ''Donkey Kong Country''. They attack [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] by spitting out [[coconut]]s, which move horizontally in the [[Kong]]s' direction. Some Mini-Neckies move up and down while spitting out coconuts. The [[Kong]]s can defeat a Mini-Necky in the same way as a Necky: either by jumping on them or by hitting them with a [[barrel]]. However, if the barrel hits one of Mini-Necky's coconuts, it breaks. Mini-Neckies appear in four levels:

In ''Donkey Kong Country'', Mini-Neckys (also referred to as '''Necky Jnr's''' on one occasion)<ref>{{cite|language=en-gb|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) #26, Special|page=22|date=November 1994}}</ref> attack [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] by spitting out [[coconut]]s, which move horizontally in the [[Kong]]s' direction. Some Mini-Neckys move up and down while spitting out coconuts. A Mini-Necky can be defeated from either being jumped on or being hit by a [[barrel]]. In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Color)|first remake]] only, Mini-Neckys appear in two more levels, [[Winky's Walkway]] and [[Necky Nutmare]].

Mini-Neckys are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. They and [[Zinger]]s are the only enemies returning from ''Donkey Kong Country''. To correspond to the game's pirate theme, Mini-Neckys wear red polka-dotted bandannas on their heads. They appear slightly larger than in ''Donkey Kong Country'' and have a different behavior in that when it notices Diddy and [[Dixie Kong]], Mini-Necky swoops down to try and attack them. They also have a deeper voice than in the previous game. The game also features a large Mini-Necky boss, [[Krow]], who is later fought as [[Kreepy Krow]]. The latter's identically titled [[Kreepy Krow (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest level)|boss level]] features several ghostly Mini-Neckys which swoop at the Kongs individually; only one of them is normal, and the Kongs must jump on to summon a barrel that can be thrown at Kreepy Krow. In the cast roll, a Mini-Necky appears under the [[Lazy Landlubbers]] category.

In the [[Game Boy Color]] version, Mini-Neckies appear in two more levels: [[Winky's Walkway]] and [[Necky Nutmare]], which respectively make up their first and last level appearances. Mini-Neckies and their larger counterpart, Necky are the main enemies in Vulture Culture and Necky Nutmare.
===''Donkey Kong Land'' series===
====''Donkey Kong Land''====
Mini-Neckys are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. They act the same as in ''Donkey Kong Country''.


In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, Donkey Kong can obtain the [[photograph]] of Mini-Necky by performing a [[Hand Slap]] in the center of the boss level, [[Necky's Nuts]].

''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''. They only appear in two levels, [[Kannon's Klaim (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Kannon's Klaim]] and [[Mudhole Marsh (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Mudhole Marsh]], as well as during the boss level [[Kreepy Krow (Donkey Kong Land 2 level)|Kreepy Krow]], acting the same as before. Because of the [[Game Boy]] color's monochromatic palette, regular Neckys cannot be distinguished from their ghostly variant. During the ending, a Necky appears in "The Baddies" category.
===''Donkey Kong Land''===
Mini-Neckies make another appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'' where they have the same role as in ''Donkey Kong Country''. They appear in the same number of levels:


*[[Deck Trek]]
===''DK: King of Swing'' / ''DK: Jungle Climber''===
*[[Landslide Leap]]
Mini-Neckys are enemies in ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'' and ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]''. They have blue feathers in both games instead of black. Mini-Neckys attack by spitting coconuts at [[Donkey Kong]] or charging at him, like in ''Donkey Kong Country''. In ''DK: King of Swing'', Mini-Neckys first appear in [[Necky's Canyon]] while in ''DK: Jungle Climber'', they first appear in [[Cliffy Peak]].

[[File:Mudhole Marsh DKC2 Mini-Necky swooping.png|thumb|Two Mini-Neckies swoop at the Kongs in Mudhole Marsh, a level in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'']]
Mini-Neckys appear as [[Balloon (Donkey Kong Barrel Blast)|blue balloon]] items in ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]''. When used by a racer, the Mini-Necky homes in on the nearest opponent behind the racer and rams into them. This results in the opponent losing ten [[banana]]s. If a [[Kremling]] uses a Mini-Necky, the opponent also loses a [[Wild Move]].
Mini-Neckies also appear as enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Aside from [[Zinger]]s, Mini-Neckies are the only enemies that return from ''Donkey Kong Country''. To correspond to the game's pirate theme, Mini-Neckies wear red polka-dotted bandannas on their heads. They appear slightly larger than in ''Donkey Kong Country''.


Unlike Zingers, Mini-Neckies act different than in ''Donkey Kong Country''. When a Mini-Necky notices Diddy and [[Dixie Kong]], it swoops down, attempting to hit them. They also have a deeper voice than in the previous game.

The game also features a large Mini-Necky boss, [[Krow]], who is later fought as [[Kreepy Krow]].

History[edit]

Donkey Kong Country series[edit]

Donkey Kong Country[edit]

Artwork from Donkey Kong Country, showing Mini-Necky's original design

In Donkey Kong Country, Mini-Neckys (also referred to as Necky Jnr's on one occasion)[4] attack Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong by spitting out coconuts, which move horizontally in the Kongs' direction. Some Mini-Neckys move up and down while spitting out coconuts. A Mini-Necky can be defeated from either being jumped on or being hit by a barrel. In the first remake only, Mini-Neckys appear in two more levels, Winky's Walkway and Necky Nutmare.

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest[edit]

Mini-Neckys are enemies in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. They and Zingers are the only enemies returning from Donkey Kong Country. To correspond to the game's pirate theme, Mini-Neckys wear red polka-dotted bandannas on their heads. They appear slightly larger than in Donkey Kong Country and have a different behavior in that when it notices Diddy and Dixie Kong, Mini-Necky swoops down to try and attack them. They also have a deeper voice than in the previous game. The game also features a large Mini-Necky boss, Krow, who is later fought as Kreepy Krow. The latter's identically titled boss level features several ghostly Mini-Neckys which swoop at the Kongs individually; only one of them is normal, and the Kongs must jump on to summon a barrel that can be thrown at Kreepy Krow. In the cast roll, a Mini-Necky appears under the Lazy Landlubbers category.

Donkey Kong Land series[edit]

Donkey Kong Land[edit]

Mini-Neckys are enemies in Donkey Kong Land. They act the same as in Donkey Kong Country.

Donkey Kong Land 2[edit]

They only appear in two levels, Kannon's Klaim and Mudhole Marsh, as well as during the boss level Kreepy Krow, acting the same as before. Because of the Game Boy color's monochromatic palette, regular Neckys cannot be distinguished from their ghostly variant. During the ending, a Necky appears in "The Baddies" category.

DK: King of Swing / DK: Jungle Climber[edit]

Mini-Neckys are enemies in DK: King of Swing and DK: Jungle Climber. They have blue feathers in both games instead of black.
