Screech has an identical role in both ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' and ''Donkey Kong Land 2''. In both games, during the second half of Screech's Sprint, the [[Kong]]s must enter an [[Animal Barrel]] to transform into [[Squawks the Parrot|Squawks]], who must race against Screech. Like traditional races, Squawks's objective is to get in first place. He must fly between [[bramble]]s and dodge [[Zinger]]s as he makes his way to the finish line. The race ends when either Screech or Squawks crosses the line first. If Squawks loses to Screech, the Kongs lose a [[Extra Life Balloon|life]] and must restart the race.

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.
