Neeks are large, gray rats and enemies that first appear in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest.[1] In their appearances, Neeks are one of the weakest enemies and can be defeated from any attack. Behaviorally, Neeks act as the successor to Gnawtys from Donkey Kong Country. In Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, Neeks were succeeded by a different rat enemy, Sneek.

History

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest

In Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, a Neek makes a sound effect similarly to a mouse's squeak when encountered by Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong, and it only moves back and forth. A Neek can be defeated from either having a barrel or other object thrown at it, being jumped on, or rolled into. Neeks first appear in the first level, Pirate Panic, where they are also the first enemy encountered, and appear in at least one level in every other world except for Crazy Kremland. Additionally, the Game Over screen shows a Neek at the bottom left, near Diddy's left leg.

Club Nintendo

In the Club Nintendo comic adaptation of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, several Neeks appear to menace Diddy and Dixie on the Gangplank Galleon. These Neeks are handily defeated by the Kongs, who simply jump on them. Later in the comic, a single Neek appears alongside various other monsters in K. Rool's Keep. In this comic, Neeks were portrayed as being capable of speaking, instead of simply making squeaking sounds.

Super Mario-Kun

Neek
Neek in Super Mario-Kun

A Neek makes a brief appearance in Volume 14 of Super Mario-Kun. The last part of the book has a series of comics based on Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, including a 'find the differences' activity between several enemies, including Neek.

Donkey Kong Land 2

Neeks reappear in Donkey Kong Land 2, where they have the same role as in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. Like their debut appearance, Neeks are first encountered in the first level, Pirate Panic. A Neek still appears in the Game Over screen, which was reused from Donkey Kong Country 2.

DK series

DK: King of Swing

Neeks appear in DK: King of Swing. They move around on the Peg Boards, and if Donkey Kong touches a Neek, he loses a heart of his health. Donkey Kong can defeat a Neek by charging into it.

DK: Jungle Climber

Neeks return in DK: Jungle Climber. They retain their behavior from the first game in the DK series. Like before, Donkey Kong can defeat a Neek by charging into it.
