| '''Neckies''' are large brown vultures that prowl the skies of [[Donkey Kong Island]]. They seem to be affiliated with the [[Kremling Krew]].
| |
| | |
| ==History==
| |
| ===''Donkey Kong Country'' series===
| |
| [[Image:Neckyattacks.PNG|thumb|left|A Necky in ''Donkey Kong Country''.]]
| |
| The first appearance of Neckies was in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''; they were common enemies and reprized that role in the Game Boy sequel, ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. Neckies will try to attack [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] by flying into them, or by hitting them with coconuts. Neckies can be defeated by being jumping upon or hit by a barrel. ''Donkey Kong Country'' also features two Necky bosses named [[Master Necky]] and [[Master Necky Snr.]]
| |
| | |
| There is also a smaller subspecies of Neckies called [[Mini-Necky|Mini-Neckies]]. In ''Donkey Kong Country'' and ''Donkey Kong Land'', they fire nuts at the player; in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' they lose this ability and instead launch themselves at the player. ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' and ''Donkey Kong Land 2'' also has a Mini-Necky boss named [[Krow]]. Normal Neckies don't appear in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' or ''Donkey Kong Land 2'' and neither species appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]'' or ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''.
| |
| | |
| ===''Donkey Kong 64===
| |
| [[Image:DK64 Necky.png|thumb|A Necky in ''Donkey Kong 64'', shot by [[Lanky Kong]].]]
| |
| In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', two vultures that are presumably Neckies appear in the area [[Angry Aztec]]. One of these vultures is located in the Temple where [[Tiny Kong]] is found, and must be blasted several times with Lanky's [[Grape Shooter]] in order to cause it to drop its [[Golden Banana]]. The other Necky is actually benevolent and capable of speech. After [[Diddy Kong]] frees the vulture from the cage it is trapped in near [[Snide's HQ]], it will challenge Diddy to a game; if Diddy can fly through all the rings the Necky drops he will obtain a [[Golden Banana]].
| |
| | |
| ===''Donkey Kong Racing===
| |
| Neckies were seen in the trailer for ''[[Donkey Kong Racing]]'' in the background of when the logo was shown and when [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] was riding on [[Ellie the Elephant|Ellie]] along with many creatures aside from Kiddy. They were presumably going to be rideable creatures.
| |
| | |
| ===''DK: King of Swing'' and ''DK: Jungle Climber===
| |
| Neckies appear as enemies in ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'' and have a boss version named [[Fire Necky]]. They also appear as enemies in ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]''. In both games, they spew coconuts at [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]] and/or [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]].
| |
| | |
| ===''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast===
| |
| Neckies appear as obstacles in ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'' and as flying creatures that players may knock into.
| |
| | |
| ===[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]===
| |
| In the game ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', Neckies can sometimes be seen flying in the background of the [[Kongo Jungle|Congo Jungle]] stage. In ''Super Smash Bros.'s'' sequel, ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', Neckies can be seen in the background of the arena [[Jungle Japes]].
