| A '''Cartwheel Attack'''<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|date=1994|publisher=Nintendo of America|title=''Donkey Kong Country'' instruction booklet|page=14}}</ref><ref>{{cite|date=2010|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|title=''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' instruction booklet|page=15}}</ref> (or '''{{wp|Cartwheel (gymnastics)|cartwheel}}''')<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|date=1995|publisher=Nintendo of America|title=''Donkey Kong Land'' instruction booklet|page=6}}</ref><ref>{{cite|language=en-us|date=1995|publisher=Nintendo of America|title=''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet|page=10}}</ref> is [[Diddy Kong]]'s standard means of attack in the [[Donkey Kong Country (series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' series]], serving as his equivalent to [[Donkey Kong]]'s [[Roll Attack]]. The maneuver is first utilized in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. Diddy can defeat most enemies by cartwheeling into them. If Diddy uses it on a row of enemies, the attack may take out the entire row. A cartwheel is ineffective against bulky enemies (such as [[Krusha]]s), spiked enemies (such as [[Zinger]]s), or bosses. If Diddy cartwheels off a ledge, he can perform an extended jump in midair. The cartwheel jump must usually be performed to reach areas, such as moving between treetops of [[Jungle Hijinxs (Donkey Kong Country)|Jungle Hijinxs]].

| Diddy's Cartwheel Attack returns in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', with an unchanged role from its previous appearances. In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', the cartwheel returns as one of Diddy's basic moves.

A cartwheel is ineffective against bulky enemies (such as [[Krusha]]s), spiked enemies such as [[Zinger]]s or bosses. Also if Diddy cartwheels off a ledge he will be able to jump in midair, thus extending his jumping radius. |

| Diddy can also perform his Cartwheel Attack in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' (as well as [[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D|its Nintendo 3DS version]]) and ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' (as well as [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|its Nintendo Switch port]]). A Cartwheel Attack can be performed by shaking the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] when Diddy is used independently, which is doable only in multiplayer or on [[Hard Mode]]. | | Diddy's cartwheel attack returns in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. The cartwheel remains relatively unchanged in these games. |
