[edit] History

[edit] Donkey Kong Country

Squawks marks his first appearance in Donkey Kong Country and is found only the level, Torchlight Trouble where he will set on a flashlight to light up the dark cavern and to show Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong where they are going.

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

Squawks makes a reappearance in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and another in Donkey Kong Land 2. Instead of holding a flashlight in this game, he is now rideable so that Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong can now ride him a navigate through higher areas which require flying. He now can also spit eggs to defeat many enemies that Diddy or Dixie can't defeat without items such as Zingers. Unlike other Animal Buddies, Squawks doesn't run away when hit by an enemy, but will drop either Diddy or Dixie or the Kongs will lose a life.

[edit] Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!

Squawks makes its third appearance in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and its fifth in Donkey Kong Land III. Here, Squawks acts in the same manner as he did in DKC2 and DKL2.

Squawks marks his sixth appearance in Donkey Kong 64. In the beginning of the game, he alerts Donkey Kong that King K. Rool is trying to take over Donkey Kong Island and that Diddy Kong, Chunky Kong, Lanky Kong, and Tiny Kong were kidnapped. He also gives information and advice to the Kongs in this game and can hold Tiny Kong in his clutches and carry her.

[edit] Donkey Kong Country Returns
