The race ends when either Screech or Squawks crosses the line first. If Screech wins, the Kongs lose a life. In the ending's Cast of Characters, Screech is categorized under [[Lazy Landlubbers]].

Screech has his own theme music, "Bad Bird Rag," which plays during his race. In the [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]] of ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Screech's theme music plays while [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] (transformed into [[Rambi]]) are being chased through the last stretch of the level [[Rambi Rumble]] by [[King Zing]].
Screech has an identical role in both ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' and ''Donkey Kong Land 2''. In both games, during the second half of Screech's Sprint, the [[Kong]]s must enter an [[Animal Barrel]] to transform into Squawks, who must race against Screech. Like in traditional races, Squawks's objective is to get in first place. He must fly between [[bramble]]s and dodge [[Zinger]]s as he makes his way to the finish line. The race ends when either Screech or Squawks crosses the line first. If Squawks loses to Screech, the Kongs lose a life and must restart the race.
 
In the ending's Cast of Characters, Screech is categorized under [[Lazy Landlubbers]].
 
In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, there is a running timer at the bottom left of the screen to keep track of the race duration.

==Trivia==
*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 Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] (transformed into [[Rambi]]) are being chased through the last stretch of the level [[Rambi Rumble]] by [[King Zing]].
*Screech appears in the background of the ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' box art, where he hits Squawks with a baseball bat. Screech also appears in group artwork where Diddy and Dixie move through a bramble area despite them never directly encountering Screech themselves.

The race ends when either Screech or Squawks crosses the line first. If Screech wins, the Kongs lose a life. In the ending's Cast of Characters, Screech is categorized under Lazy Landlubbers.
