Screech

Screech is a large brown and red parrot who is a member of the Kremling Krew and a member of the Lazy Landlubbers enemy class. It is also possibly the pet of the Kremling Krew's leader, Kaptain K. Rool.

In Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, Screech appears as a mini-boss in the area The Flying Krock. Instead of battling Screech directly, Diddy and Dixie Kong would instead race Screech after turning into Squawks by an Animal Barrel. The race against Screech takes place in the bramble and Zinger-filled "Screech's Sprint" and would end once either Screech or Squawks crossed a finish line composed of bananas (and a scrapbook photo in the Game Boy Advance re-release). If Squawks were to lose against Screech, it would also lose a life and has to race it again. Once Screech is beaten, Diddy and Dixie Kong could gain access to K. Rool Duel; Kaptain K. Rool's airship.

Evidently surviving the exploding and sinking of Crocodile Isle, Screech makes a return in Donkey Kong Land 2, once again standing between Dixie and Diddy Kong and Kaptain K. Rool; Screech would have to be raced again by Squawks and beaten for the two Kongs to reach K. Rool Duel once more.

Trivia



 * The evil parrot Polly Roger from the Donkey Kong Country animated series may be based loosely off of Screech.


 * Screech has his own theme music which plays when he is being raced. In the Game Boy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, Screech's theme music plays while Diddy and Dixie (transformed into Rambi the Rhinoceros) are being chased through the last stretch of the level "Rambi Rumble" by King Zing.
