'''Squeakers''' are enemies from ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]'' that are part of the [[Squeaks]]. Squeakers are the lowest ranked henchmen of the Squeaks, but there are many of them. They resemble small mice, but do not have legs, instead opting to hop around like blobs. Squeakers come in multiple colors, including yellow, green, blue, and red; with each color acting differently.

In ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]'', Squeakers appear alongside a higher-ranking member of the [[Squeaks]] when [[Kirby]] collects a large treasure chest. They replace all original enemies in the room, and try to stop Kirby so the higher-ranking squeak can catch up to him.

A Squeaker's color determines its abilities. Yellow ones hop towards Kirby, green ones throw bombs, and blue ones throw giant bombs with bigger explosions. If a Squeaker hits Kirby, it will cause him to drop a [[Treasure|Treasure Chest]] if he has one. This does not apply to hits from their bombs. Any Squeaker will drop one [[Food|food]] upon defeat. Swallowing a Squeaker provides no [[Copy Ability]] (its bombs do not provide the [[Bomb]] ability either). [[Ghost]] Kirby's abiltiy to possess enemies does not work on Squeakers.

When a higher-ranking squeak gets Kirby's big treasure chest, they will run into a small lair. Kirby can enter the lair to face off against them along with several Squeakers, as a [[Mid-Boss|mid-boss]] fight. Kirby can also go in the lair when he has the large chest to face against just the Squeakers, but there is no reward for doing so.

Red Squeakers also appear, but only in Story Mode cutscenes and the sub-game [[Smash Ride]]. However, the red Squeaker appears as an unused enemy in a debug room, where it acts as a variant of the green Squeaker except it can double jump.<ref>TCRF.

In ''Kirby Meets the Squeak Squad!'', when the Squeaks are discussing their plans outside [[Castle Dedede]], the Squeakers are sent into the castle by Daroach to spy on [[Kirby (novel character)|Kirby]], [[Waddle Dee (novel character)|Waddle Dee]], and [[King Dedede (novel character)|King Dedede]]. When they return, the Squeakers report that Kirby and co. are keeping the treasure in Waddle Dee's room, which is far east on the second floor. Later on, before the Squeaks sneak in to the room at night, the Squeakers sneak into the attic of Waddle Dee's room to send in sleeping gas so Kirby and Waddle Dee do not wake up.
