Master Necky is a large Necky and the second boss of Donkey Kong Country. Master Necky is only ever seen by his head, both in-game and from his artwork. Master Necky is fought at the end of Monkey Mines, in the boss level, Necky's Nuts. During the battle, Master Necky emerges from the left and right sides of the arena to spit coconuts at Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. The Kongs can attack Master Necky by jumping on his head (causing his eyelids to briefly fly out), but this only damages him after he spits out a coconut. After being jumped on five times, Master Necky is defeated.
In the Game Boy Advance version, Master Necky turns bright red before and after he attacks to better indicate when the Kongs can jump onto him . After Master Necky spits out a coconut, his normal color is shown, giving the Kongs a chance to jump on him, but Master Necky turns red again as he leaves the screen. Later on, Master Necky joins Master Necky Snr. in battling the Kongs in Necky's Revenge, the boss level of Chimp Caverns. Each of them can be defeated by being jumped on a total of five times. When either boss is defeated first, the other Master Necky starts to spit four coconuts in succession.
In Super Mario-kun, Master Necky is located at the end of Mine Cart Carnage, where he baits the heroes into thinking his mouth is the exit. His plan almost works, but since Mario and Yoshi were pursued by the Krashes, they end up clogging his beak with Mine Carts, while Mario, Yoshi, DK, and Diddy come out of it unharmed. He also reappears, replacing Master Necky Snr., in the penultimate chapter of the Donkey Kong Country arc, taking place on the icy sea near the Gangplank Galleon.
