'''Diddy Kong''' is a [[Kong]] introduced in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. He is the best friend and sidekick of [[Donkey Kong]], assisting him on several of his journeys and appearing commonly in spin-off games of the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise starting with ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', effectively taking the role of [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] Diddy Kong sports a red shirt with yellow stars and a red hat with the Nintendo logo and has a tail, unlike most Kongs. "{{iw|wiktionary|diddy|Diddy}}" is a slang word in some parts of northern England for "small," as Diddy Kong is. Diddy Kong occasionally pairs up with his girlfriend, [[Dixie Kong]]. Diddy is the starring character of the racing game, ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'', and its [[reissue|remake]], ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]''.
==Concept and creation==
[[File:DKC concept Diddy Kong Junior.jpg|thumb|Diddy Kong's original look]]
During the development of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', the designers wanted the player to be capable of taking multiple hits, but they also aimed for the screen to be as "clutter-free" as possible, thereby forbidding the usage of a health bar. Having noted the "[[Super Mario (form)|big Mario]] to [[small Mario]]" system used in the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' games, Rare created Diddy Kong as a visual "extra hit." The design for the character was originally intended to be a redesign of [[Donkey Kong Jr.]], but Nintendo felt that its design was too different and insisted that Rare either make the design for Junior closer to his original appearance or make the new design an entirely different character. Rare, feeling that the design fit the "updated" Donkey Kong universe that the company was aiming to create, had decided to keep its design. During the process of naming the character, several names were suggested by Rare employees, including "Diet DK," "DK Lite," and "Titchy Kong." The name "Dinky Kong" was chosen, but it was later changed to "Diddy" due to legal considerations<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20120316134452/http://www.nowgamer.com/features/895227/the_making_of_donkey_kong_country.html|title=''The Making Of Donkey Kong Country''|publisher=NowGamer|accessdate=June 24, 2024}}</ref> with {{wp|Dinky Toys}},<ref>{{cite|author=Shesez|date=November 21, 2019|timestamp=14:03|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwWHzilbQ34&t=843s|title=The Donkey Kong Country 25th Anniversary Interview Documentary|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=August 8, 2023}}</ref> although the name would eventually be used as [[Kiddy Kong]]'s Japanese name.

==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country'' series===
Diddy Kong made his debut appearance in the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' series, having appeared in every game. The only game where he is not playable is ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' Diddy has had more playable appearances in this series than [[Donkey Kong]] has.
====''Donkey Kong Country''====
[[File:Diddy Kong DKC.png|thumb|left|Artwork from ''Donkey Kong Country'', showing Diddy Kong's first depiction]]
Diddy Kong is a playable character in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' as well as both its [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Color)|first]] and [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|second remake]]. He assists Donkey Kong as the second player and sidekick, similarly but not identically to [[Luigi]]'s relation to [[Mario]]'s. Diddy is described as being a "Donkey Kong wannabe," [[Fourth wall|wanting to be a video game hero]] like Donkey Kong.<ref>{{cite|quote=Although he would never admit it, Diddy Kong is a [[Donkey Kong]] wannabe. His ambition in life is to be a video game hero just like the big guy. And although Donkey Kong would never say it to Diddy’s face, the kid has potential.

Diddy has his own rolling move, [[Cartwheel Attack]], which he can use to defeat enemies or briefly in midair to gain some momentum. Compared to Donkey Kong, Diddy is more agile, capable of jumping higher, moves faster, and holds a barrel in front of him rather than above his head. However, Diddy is weaker, not only from throwing barrels a shorter distance, but because he cannot defeat [[Krusha]]s and [[Klump]]s by [[stomp]]ing them, and he has to stomp an [[Army]] twice to defeat it.

If the player achieves a completion rating of 90% or higher in the second remake, they unlock the "Hero Mode," where Diddy is the only player character, though with a yellow cap and shirt.

====''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''====
Diddy is a playable character in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and its [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]]. He retains his abilities from ''Donkey Kong Country'', though he is now the first player rather than the second, with Dixie now taking that role. Diddy and Dixie Kong can do a [[team up]] move, allowing one of the Kongs to pick each other up and throw another to get across obstacles or reach higher elevations. Diddy has his own time attack mode in the remake, titled [[Diddy's Dash]], where he is controlled through levels without the aid of Dixie.

In the game's story, the Kremling Krew kidnaps Donkey Kong and sends him away to their island, [[Crocodile Isle]]. K. Rool, now Kaptain K. Rool, threatens to keep Donkey Kong as a prisoner unless the Kongs give the banana hoard to him. Diddy refuses, so he and Dixie travel through Crocodile Isle. Whenever the player visits the [[Monkey Museum]], Cranky chastises him and Dixie, believing them not to be actual video game heroes,<ref>{{cite|quote=Oh, it's you again. I thought it might be a real video game hero...|author=[[Cranky Kong]]|title=''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''|publisher=[[Rare Ltd.]]|language=en|date=November 21, 1995|accessdate=January 3, 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite|quote=Diddy, I thought you were a cheap character in [[Donkey Kong Country|DKC]], but [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]]'s even worse!

In gameplay, Diddy and Donkey are seen only in [[Kastle Kaos]], where after defeating [[King K. Rool|Baron K. Roolenstein]], it is revealed that the two were trapped inside of [[KAOS]]. Additionally, the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]] adds Diddy as one of the Kongs to defend from [[Kremling]]s in the [[Funky's Rentals (minigame)|Funky's Rentals]] challenge "Protect."

After being freed, Diddy and Donkey Kong go on a journey similar to ''Donkey Kong Country'' where they travel through the various regions of the island while fighting the operatives in each of them. In single player mode, Diddy stays on Donkey Kong's back, and Diddy can use his [[Barrel Jet]] to make both of them hover temporarily. Diddy is always controlled by the second player in multiplayer, with the added option of controlling him individually. Diddy has more agility than Donkey Kong, and he can still control the [[Barrel Jet]] in midair and stun enemies using his [[Popgun|Peanut Popgun]]. Diddy has different roles after defeating [[Tiki Tong]] in the final battle. If he and Donkey Kong are together, the explosion of Tiki Tong sends them into space, where Diddy panics before DK knocks the moon out of orbit to hit Tiki Tong Tower. If Donkey Kong completes the battle alone, Diddy appears unexpectedly to save him from a large fall. If Diddy completes the battle alone, his Barrel Jet malfunctions as he tries to break from the gravitational pull of the moon; as a result, Diddy crashes into the moon headfirst, knocking it out of orbit and onto Tiki Tong Tower, before falling unconsciously and awakening in DK's hands.

====''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''====

His special ball is the [[Boomerang Ball]], which launches the ball out like a Boomerang to trick the other team. It can be used when the player purchases the [[Chimp Banana]] in the store from challenge mode. His other special moves are [[Clamber]] and [[Super Catch]]. He shares good chemistry with Donkey Kong, Goomba, and Dixie Kong, and does not share bad chemistry with any character.

====''Mario Super Sluggers''====
[[File:DiddyKong MSS.jpg|thumb|Artwork from ''Mario Super Sluggers'']]
Diddy Kong is first seen in the opening cutscene of ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', where he is saved by Donkey Kong from being crushed by a giant barrel in [[DK Jungle (baseball stadium)|DK Jungle]], and in the cutscene shown after defeating Bowser's team in Challenge Mode, Diddy is one of the characters who celebrates before leaving. Diddy is both a playable character and captain, having a team name of Diddy Monkeys; his star swing is the [[Banana Swing]]; and his star pitch is the [[Banana Ball]]. Diddy received slightly improved batting, a good fielding boost, and a lowered running stat. Diddy shares good chemistry with all the Kongs, bad chemistry with the Kritters and King K. Rool, and is the only character with no good chemistry with any of the [[Mii]] colors. Diddy is a member of [[DK Wilds]] in Challenge mode, also guarding the statue that once held the stone tablet while the protagonists search for the missing pieces.

Diddy is an unlockable captain who can be unlocked by defeating him in the [[Crystal Cup]]. He is a Playmaker Captain who is very swift and agile. Diddy Kong appears to have supernatural powers, as seen with his [[Super Ability]], [[Red Card!]], which summons a beam of light to take players out of the field, and his [[Mega Strike]], in which he launches in the air, moves into a Buddha position, and touches the ball with the tip of his tail, sending it flying. Diddy has more of a human-like voice on certain occasions, such as when shoved by an opponent, being affected by Wario's "[[Gas Mask!]]" ability, and getting electrocuted. Diddy's theme music for scoring and making his home entrance is Hindustani classical music. One of Diddy's winning animations involves him performing a victory dance, grinning sheepishly, whilst two of Diddy's losing animations show him moping around, and another where he pounds his fists into the ground angrily.

[[File:MPSR Artwork - Diddy Kong.png|thumb|left|Artwork from ''Mario Party: Star Rush'', his first playable appearance in the ''Mario Party'' series]]
Diddy Kong is a non-playable character in the Story Mode of ''[[Mario Party DS]]'', where the characters help Diddy free Donkey Kong from being a statue that [[Dry Bones]] had turned into, and Diddy happily rewards the characters with the third [[Sky Crystal]]. Diddy is similarly non-playable in ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', being the mid-boss for [[DK's Jungle Ruins]].

Diddy does not physically appear in ''[[Mario Party 10]]'', but a statue resembling him mounted on Donkey Kong is on the southern side of the [[Donkey Kong Board]]. Diddy is not physically present in ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', though his name is mentioned when scanning the Diddy Kong amiibo, giving them ten coins.

Diddy Kong is an unlockable character in ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]''. He can be unlocked by earning enough party points to reach level 11 or by scanning a Diddy Kong [[amiibo]]. Diddy can break barrels in Toad Scramble to earn coins, and his [[Triple 7 Dice Block]] has half a chance of rolling either a 0 or a 7. Using a Diddy Kong amiibo in Coinathlon causes Diddy to always begin two [[Double Medal]]s.

He has become a playable {{iw|smashwiki|fighter}} in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] since ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. He is swift, agile, and very acrobatic. Diddy Kong has a {{iw|smashwiki|weight}} value of 93 units in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U'', later decreased to 90 units in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. Diddy has realistic monkey voices, akin to Donkey Kong's gorilla-like noises, replacing their usual cartoony noises.

====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Diddy Kong (SSBB)}}
As a playable character in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Diddy's {{iw|smashwiki|special move}}s are [[Popgun#Super Smash Bros. series|Peanut Popgun]], which lets him shoot peanuts at his opponents; [[Monkey Flip]], which lets him leap forward and pummel (or kick) his opponents; [[Rocketbarrel Boost]], which can be charged to fly through the air; and [[Banana Peel (move)|Banana Peel]], which when thrown, makes his opponents [[trip]]. His [[Final Smash]] is [[Rocketbarrel Barrage]], a combination of his Peanut Popgun and Rocketbarrel Boost. Diddy is referred to by {{iw|smashwiki|Snake (SSBB)|Snake}} in his associated {{iw|smashwiki|Codec Conversations|Codec Conversation}} as a "chimpanzee in a Nintendo hat."

[[File:SubspaceIntro-DiddyKong.png|200px|thumb|left|Diddy Kong's snapshot in the Subspace Emissary]]
In the events of {{iw|smashwiki|Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary}}, Diddy is first encountered within Donkey Kong in [[the Jungle]], helping him recover bananas stolen from the [[Bowser's Minions]]. Diddy is later knocked away to safety by Donkey Kong before he is transformed into a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] by [[Bowser]]'s {{iw|smashwiki|Dark Cannon}}. At {{iw|smashwiki|the Lake}}, Diddy encounters {{iw|bulbapedia|Rayquaza (Pokémon)|Rayquaza}} and forces {{iw|smashwiki|Fox (SSBB)|Fox}} to help him fight Rayquaza. As the two characters reach the {{iw|smashwiki|the Swamp}} later on, Bowser successfully turns Diddy into a trophy and clones him into {{iw|smashwiki|False character#False Diddy Kong|False Diddy Kong}} with {{iw|smashwiki|Shadow Bug}}s, eventually multiplying in size. After Diddy is revived, he defeats the clone and teams up with {{iw|smashwiki|Falco (SSBB)|Falco}}, again by force. Upon discovering that Donkey is being taken to the {{iw|smashwiki|Isle of the Ancients}}, Falco drops Diddy for the Kong to rescue him. After receiving help from {{iw|smashwiki|Captain Falcon (SSBB)|Captain Falcon}} and {{iw|smashwiki|Olimar (SSBB)|Olimar}} to fend off the [[Subspace Army]], the four characters end up at {{iw|smashwiki|the Subspace Bomb Factory}}. Upon meeting {{iw|smashwiki|Samus (SSBB)|Samus}} and {{iw|smashwiki|Pikachu (SSBB)|Pikachu}}, [[R.O.B.]] reveals himself just before they are forced to evacuate the island as it is drawn into {{iw|smashwiki|Subspace}}. In Subspace, {{iw|smashwiki|Tabuu}} turns Diddy and the other gathered heroes into trophies. However, Diddy is among the fighters rescued by {{iw|smashwiki|King Dedede (SSBB)|King Dedede}} and the others with him before they all head into {{iw|smashwiki|the Great Maze}} to defeat Tabuu and save the {{iw|smashwiki|World of Trophies}}.

====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''====
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Diddy Kong (SSB4)}}
Diddy Kong is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]''. He was originally confirmed to be added on February 21, 2014, the day that ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' released in anglophone regions. Diddy received improvements with his mobility. He was given longer limbs, giving his attacks more {{iw|smashwiki|range}}. Many of Diddy's attacks deal significantly more {{iw|smashwiki|knockback}}, although his {{iw|smashwiki|damage}} output had been lowered.

====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Diddy Kong (SSBU)}}
[[File:Diddy-kong-3.png|thumb|left|Screenshot from ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]
Diddy Kong appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. He benefits from universal changes, including faster mobility, decreased {{iw|smashwiki|short hop}} timing, reduced {{iw|smashwiki|landing lag}} with his {{iw|smashwiki|aerial attack}}s; the ability to directionally {{iw|smashwiki|air dodge}}; and using any {{iw|smashwiki|ground attack}} out of a {{iw|smashwiki|run}}, or any aerial attack on {{iw|smashwiki|ladder}}s. Diddy Kong's damage output has been further decreased. Diddy's Monkey Flip and Rocketbarrel Boost moves cover a lot less distance.

In the opening cutscene of {{iw|smashwiki|Adventure Mode: World of Light}}, Diddy is among the fighters who attempt to escape from Galeem's beams of light; Diddy himself attempts to flee using the Rocketbarrel Pack alongside [[Rosalina]] & [[Luma]], but ultimately is consumed and used to create puppet fighters. Diddy is found in the sub-area in the Light Realm resembling the first world of the original ''Donkey Kong Country'', with Diddy himself serving as the "boss" of that area.

Owing to [[King K. Rool]]'s ties to Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong appears alongside Donkey Kong in K. Rool's introduction trailer. Specifically, Diddy Kong lounges lazily in Donkey Kong's treehouse on a tire swing, only to be startled by quakes before looking outside with Donkey to investigate. They then see an ominous shadow, revealed to be {{iw|smashwiki|King Dedede (SSBU)|King Dedede}} wearing a cape and King K. Rool's mask, to their surprise. King Dedede laughs at his joke before being smacked upside the head and knocked away by King K. Rool. In the ending of the trailer, Diddy, alongside Donkey Kong, has their foot and fist, respectively, make contact with King K. Rool's fist with enough force as to cause a shockwave to be emitted throughout the jungle. Diddy also makes an appearance in Banjo & Kazooie's trailer.

Diddy Kong's {{iw|smashwiki|Classic Mode (SSBU)|Classic Mode}} route is titled "Hey, Little Buddy!", which involves him fighting alongside characters who generally have sidekicks at their side during adventures. Diddy engages in the battles in the following order:
#A {{iw|smashwiki|Team Battle}} allied with [[Mario]] against [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]] on [[Princess Peach's Castle (Super Smash Bros. Melee)|Princess Peach's Castle]]
#A Team Battle allied with {{iw|smashwiki|Zero Suit Samus (SSBU)|Zero Suit Samus}} against {{iw|smashwiki|Meta Ridley}} and {{iw|smashwiki|Dark Samus (SSBU)|Dark Samus}} or {{iw|smashwiki|Norfair}}
#A Team Battle allied with {{iw|smashwiki|Zelda (SSBU)|Zelda}} against {{iw|smashwiki|Ganondorf (SSBU)|Ganondorf}} on {{iw|smashwiki|Unova Pokémon League}}

#A Team Battle allied with Donkey Kong against [[King K. Rool]] on [[Jungle Japes (stage)|Jungle Japes]]
#A boss fight against {{iw|smashwiki|Master Hand}} and {{iw|smashwiki|Crazy Hand}} while allied with Donkey Kong on {{iw|smashwiki|Final Destination (SSBU)|Final Destination}}

===''WarioWare'' series===
Diddy appears in a few [[microgame]]s of the [[WarioWare (series)|''WarioWare'' series]]. In [[DK Country]] of ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase]]'', Diddy is shot out of a moving [[Bonus Barrel]], with the goal being to collect two rows of bananas while avoiding a red [[Zinger]]. In [[Donkey Kong Country Returns (microgame)|Donkey Kong Country Returns]] of ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'', Diddy is sometimes seen after completing the microgame.

===''Mario & Sonic'' series===
Diddy's first three appearances in the [[Mario & Sonic (series)|''Mario & Sonic'' series]] are in the form of an unlockable [[Mii]] outfit. In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Wii)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'' for the Wii, the suit based on him can be purchased from the boutique. In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Wii)|Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]'' for the Wii, the suit is unlocked after playing against a friend 20 times in Single Event mode. In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]'', the Diddy suit is unlocked after completing 3 areas in Legend Showdown.
[[File:Tokyodiddyhead.png|80px|thumb|Diddy Kong's head icon in ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020'']]
In more recent installments, Diddy has begun to appear as a playable character. In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games]]'', Diddy makes his playable debut in the series, although he can only be played in the [[110m Hurdles (Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games)|110m Hurdles]] event. In the Wii U [[Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (Wii U)|version]], Diddy is only playable in the [[Rugby Sevens]] event. Oddly, for ''Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games'', Diddy has brown eyes instead of black like in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, and he does not have the Nintendo logo on his cap, possibly because [[Sega]] developed the games. In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020]]'', Diddy is a Technique character, and he is only playable in Rugby Sevens.

===''Mario Sports Mix''===
Diddy Kong is a playable character in ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]''. He is billed a speedy character. Diddy has a slightly higher technique stat countered with a slightly lower power stat. For his Special Shot, Diddy throws a banana in the manner of a boomerang, attempting to stun anyone who tries to counter his shot. Diddy Kong can give his full power shots an added curve in Volleyball.

===''Fortune Street''===
Diddy Kong is a playable character in ''[[Fortune Street]]''. He ranked at Level D, alongside [[Birdo]], [[Donkey Kong]], [[Slime (Dragon Quest)|Slime]], and [[Yangus]].

===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Maker''====
Diddy Kong is a [[Mystery Mushroom]] [[Costume Mario|costume]] in the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' style of ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', unlockable by scanning his [[amiibo]] onto the [[Wii U#Wii U GamePad|Wii U GamePad]] or randomly after clearing the 100 Mario Challenge. The costume is an 8-bit rendition of him, and its sounds are taken from ''Donkey Kong Country''.

====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
[[File:SMO Mario Diddy.png|200px|thumb|The "Diddy Kong Suit" from ''Super Mario Odyssey'']]
Diddy Kong is referenced in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', with one of the billboards in [[Metro Kingdom|New Donk City]] reading "Diddy's Mart," and there is a purchasable costume of Diddy Kong that can be bought after either completing the game and collecting enough Power Moons or using his amiibo through [[Uncle amiibo]].

===''Mario Sports Superstars''===
Diddy Kong is a playable character in ''[[Mario Sports Superstars]]''. Diddy is a Speed type character in most sports, a quality shared with [[Baby Mario]], [[Baby Luigi]], and [[Bowser Jr.]] Diddy has a default drive of 216 yards in golf and makes shots that travel slightly high in a draw trajectory; some of Diddy's voice clips from ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' are also recycled for the Golf gameplay.

===''Dr. Mario World''===
[[File:DrMarioWorld - Sprite Diddy Kong.png|thumb|left|Diddy Kong's mugshot in ''Dr. Mario World'']]
Diddy Kong, under the name '''Dr. Diddy Kong''', was added to ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'' as a playable character on October 31, 2019. Dr. Diddy Kong is a reward in [[World 9 (Dr. Mario World)|World 9]]'s special stage since version 1.2.0, though beating the stage prior to the update will allow him to be obtainable through the doc box.

Dr. Diddy Kong's skill is to change full-sized [[capsule]]s into two half-capsules, represented by his Peanut Popgun being fired and a peanut being overlaid on a capsule and being snapped into two. In stage mode, this affects the next four capsules, but in versus, this affects the next three capsules in level 1 and the next six capsules starting from level 2 (higher levels have a faster skill meter charge). When the changed capsule is brought into the stage, it works like a full-sized capsule in that both move simultaneously, but when control of the capsule is released, both halves of the capsule operate individually. Half-sized rainbow capsules are unaffected by this effect. In version 2.3.0, the first capsule affected by this effect are turned into rainbow capsules (half-sized rainbow capsules are still unaffected), which applies to both stage mode and versus.

===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''===
[[File:TSMBM Diddy Kong.png|thumb|220px|Diddy Kong's appearance in ''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''.]]
Diddy Kong can be seen in the audience behind Donkey Kong on [[:File:TSMBM poster DK.jpg|a poster]] for ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'' with [[Swanky Kong]], [[Dixie Kong]], and [[Cranky Kong]], among various other generic [[Kong]]s. He has been given a slight redesign, with his eyes being separated and his tank top lengthened to cover his legs and show part of his chest along with yellow trimming. His hat has also been redesigned slightly, with the Nintendo logo being absent and a pin with Donkey Kong's emblem on it. He is also the only Kong other than Donkey Kong and Cranky Kong whose name is mentioned in the film.

In the film, he is seen in the crowd at the [[Great Ring of Kong]] for Mario and Donkey Kong's fight, cheering for the latter with Dixie and [[Chunky Kong]] sitting next to him. He continues to cheer even after Cranky silences the crowd until he tells him to be quiet, causing Diddy to sheepishly apologize. He is voiced by [[Eric Bauza]].

===Unused appearances===
Diddy was to star in both ''[[Diddy Kong Pilot]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Racing]]'' as a main character and a sidekick, respectively, but these games were canceled before they could be released when Nintendo sold [[Rare Ltd.]] to Microsoft.

===Other appearances===
In 1998, Diddy was featured alongside [[Mario]], [[Yoshi]] and [[Koopa Troopa]] in a {{wp|Pez}} dispenser set.

Diddy appears in ''[[Nintendo Monopoly]]'', costing $260 and taking the role of Ventnor Avenue, as well as being a "Power Pack" expansion figure for ''[[Monopoly Gamer]]''.

Diddy Kong appears in the game ''[[Skylanders: SuperChargers]]'' as part of the SuperCharged version of Donkey Kong's vehicle, the [[Barrel Blaster]]. He is also the basis of Donkey Kong's Soul Gem [[Diddy You Call?]], where after being summoned he can fly around in his Rocketbarrel Pack and attack enemies with his Peanut Popguns, similar to his Final Smash in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series.

In the Super Mario Mash-up in ''[[Minecraft]]'', Diddy Kong appears as a playable skin.

==General information==
===Physical appearance===
[[File:MPDS Diddy Kong Artwork.png|thumb|Diddy Kong, holding his red hat with the Nintendo logo on it]]
Diddy Kong appears to be designed after a {{iw|wikipedia|spider monkey}}.<ref>{{cite|author=FulgoreAndMore|date=January 29, 2019|url=x.com/FulgoreAndMore/status/1090289667944124417|title=I think we actually ‘pencilled him in’ as a Spider Monkey because we wanted the tail to be his main tool when climbing around. But, let’s just say he’s a monkey. Or a chimpney.|publisher=X|language=en|accessdate=June 24, 2024}}</ref> He has versatile feet, and a prehensile tail (the only Kong to possess one), which he uses most of the time to hold certain small items or also hang on objects. Diddy Kong's face is somewhat similar to [[Donkey Kong]]; however, Diddy Kong has big eyes and a less frowned space between the eyebrows, covered in fur, as opposed to Donkey Kong's. His ears are a bit big, the same size of his eyes. Diddy Kong's eyes are usually depicted as black, although ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' depict him with blue eyes. On the other hand, ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' gives him brown eyes. The color of his eyelids varies depending on his appearances; sometimes they are either brown (like in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' and ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]'') or tan (like in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]) and mostly he has no eyelids at all (though he still blinks but his eyes remain open). Upon creation, he originally had four fingers. After the Microsoft acquisition of Rare Ltd., Nintendo now had exclusive rights to Diddy Kong, and altered his look to now have five fingers, starting with ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour''.

Diddy Kong's clothing consists of a red cap showing the logo of [[Nintendo]] on its front, and a red tank top, with yellow [[star]]s on it (the details on his clothes were first introduced in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'').
====Alternate outfits====
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', an alternate Diddy Kong's clothing was a yellow tank top and a yellow cap. It appeared when two players wished to play independently. In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Diddy Kong appears with another alternate costume as well. In the sequel, Diddy Kong wears a blue costume. In ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'', Diddy Kong wears armor, protecting him against hazards set in the game. He wears a pair of wristbands, shoulder-pads, and a cuirasse over his tank top to protect his chest. The armor is mainly yellow, but it turns to purple in case that his opponents wear a similar color scheme. Later in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', when the [[Super Guide]] mode is activated and [[Super Kong]] breaks a [[DK Barrel]], Super Diddy Kong appears. Super Diddy Kong has white fur instead of brown, and his red cap and tank top have become blue.

Throughout the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, Diddy Kong has had eight alternate costumes to choose from, including his default appearance. In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Diddy Kong has 6 costumes, while in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', he has 8 costumes. Diddy Kong's first alternate costume consists of a yellow tank top with red stars and white cap, while his fur is dark brown, resembling his alternate color in ''Donkey Kong Country''{{'}}s Two-Player Contest mode; his second alternate costume gives him golden brown fur, while his cap and tank top turn pink (the stars also turn white), resembling Dixie Kong; his third alternate costume gives him dark brown fur and a purple tank top and cap, resembling his appearance in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''{{'}}s Two-Player Contest mode; his fourth alternate costume gives him reddish-brown fur and a green tank top and cap, resembling one of his alternate colors from ''Donkey Kong 64''{{'}}s multiplayer mode; lastly, his fifth alternate costume gives Diddy Kong a blue tank top and cap, resembling Kiddy Kong. In ''3DS'' / ''Wii U'', Diddy Kong gains his sixth and seventh alternate costumes: the former gives him black fur with a brown tank top and yellow cap, resembling a chimpanzee; the latter gives him light brown fur with a cyan tank top and fur, resembling [[Donkey Kong Jr.]]'s design in ''Donkey Kong Jr. Math''.

===Speech===
In the early ''Donkey Kong Country'' games, as well as the ''Donkey Kong Land'' series, there was no voice acting, though Diddy Kong did have a few realistic monkey sounds provided by Mark Betteridge. However, the games' respective instruction manuals showed Diddy Kong being able to speak full sentences. Diddy Kong was able to speak intelligently in the comic ''Rumble in the Jungle'' and the ''Super Mario Kun'' manga. Diddy Kong first received voice acting in [[Donkey Kong Country (TV series)|the 1998 computer-animated ''Donkey Kong Country'' series]], where he was portrayed by [[Andrew Sabiston]]. In the GameCube-era ''Super Mario'' and ''Donkey Kong'' games, Diddy was voiced by [[Chris Sutherland]], who provided him with a mixture of cartoonish monkey noises and actual words/phrases, such as "Uh-oh!" and "Come on!" From 2004 onwards, Diddy Kong has been voiced by [[Katsumi Suzuki]], who solely provided him with a cartoonish monkey voice. In cases where Diddy Kong is intended to speak in full sentences, there is in-game text to show what he is actually saying. The only time in the games where Diddy Kong actually speaks is in ''Diddy Kong Racing'', when he says, "I'm Diddy!" whenever the player selects him to play as him. Most of the time, his speech is in parentheses, thus implying that characters other than Donkey Kong and the other Kongs still have difficulty understanding what he is saying. In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, Diddy Kong receives realistic monkey noises.

===Powers and abilities===
[[File:Diddy Cartwheel DKC2.png|thumb|left|110px|Diddy Kong using his cartwheel attack from ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'']]
In almost every appearance he makes, Diddy Kong has been shown to be quick and nimble to offset Donkey Kong's great strength. As a result, Diddy, while more agile, has more trouble defeating larger enemies. In many games he has appeared, such as in ''Donkey Kong Country'' and ''Donkey Kong 64'', he is able to use his [[Cartwheel Attack|cartwheel]] to attack opponents but also to jump farther in ''Donkey Kong Country''. Diddy Kong is shown to have a strong skull; he has a special dashing ability in ''Donkey Kong 64'' called ''[[Chimpy Charge]]'' where he ram into switches, walls, and gongs with a head-first charge and in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', after defeating [[Tiki Tong]], he brings the moon down with just his head.

While teamed up with Dixie Kong during the events of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', Diddy Kong is able to pick up his partner and throw her to high areas or enemies. He can also throw her at collectibles that float above pits.

[[File:DiddyDKCR.png|thumb|Diddy Kong with his Barrel Jet]]
In some games, Diddy Kong can also use his [[Barrel Jet]] to fly to hard-to-reach areas. However, in ''Donkey Kong 64'', it is only given to him after entering one of [[Cranky's Kong Barrel]]s, and it can only be used in certain areas. During the time Diddy Kong uses his Barrel Jet, he is also equipped with [[Peanut Popgun]]s, which allow him to defeat or stun distant enemies and activate switches. During ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'', Diddy Kong can use his Barrel Jet in order to carry Donkey Kong over pits. It's revealed in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', that Diddy Kong has a prehensile tail due to the fact he can hang onto hooks with it. Additionally, in ''Donkey Kong 64'' he is able to use his tail to attack enemies or use it as a spring to reach higher areas. In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', he is able to combine his Rocketbarrel Pack and Peanut Popgun for his [[Final Smash]].

[[File:Diddyjuggleani.gif|frame|left|Diddy Kong juggling]]
In ''Mario Superstar Baseball'', Diddy Kong, with his good running stat, also possess the ability to climb on walls and catch balls that are otherwise fair. He also has Super Catch ensuring that he does not fumble any routine fly balls. His pitches and batting involve curving the ball in the shape of a banana. This ability is also present in ''Mario Power Tennis''.  In ''Mario Striker Charged'', Diddy Kong displays some supernatural abilities such as summoning a beam of light that subdue his opponents into the sky and psychic abilities during his [[Mega Strike]]. In ''Mario Sport Mix'', his special move is throwing a banana like a boomerang which stuns opponents after being hit by it.

Diddy Kong is capable of juggling, which he does in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' if he does not move for a while. Also, his artwork for ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'' portrays him juggling three baseballs. Just like Dixie Kong in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', he is also capable of playing an electric guitar in ''Donkey Kong 64'', which he uses to solve puzzles and destroy surrounding enemies.

===Personality===
Diddy Kong is a friendly and adventurous character, willing to help out his friends during times of need, evidenced by the ''Donkey Kong Country'' series. Diddy Kong is somewhat of a peace seeker, which is an offset to Donkey Kong's more aggressive behavior against his enemies, since he asks a [[Kremling]] to "show himself if he was friendly" in ''Donkey Kong Country''. Diddy Kong's defining personality trait is his energy and gaiety, to the point of childishness (in a similar vein to [[Toad]], though he is less humble than the mushroom himself). Diddy Kong always shows excitement in various competitive sports (the ''Mario Golf'', ''Mario Tennis'', and ''Mario Baseball'' series) and [[Mario Kart (series)|kart races]], as evidenced by his idle and victory animations, which see him cartwheeling, backflipping, sideflipping, jumping up and down, or clapping his hands while yelling and screeching in happiness and enjoyment. Diddy's boisterous, slap-happy personality comes into play in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', where he is constantly smiling or showing toothy grins. Diddy Kong's victory animations show him holding his head with both his hands, or firing a peanut from the [[Popgun|Peanut Popgun]], further showing how excitable he is. In ''The Subspace Emmissary'', he is fearless to the point that he does not consider the danger; eager to fight Bowser while Donkey Kong and [[Fox|Fox McCloud]] knew this was too dangerous when he had a Dark Cannon at his disposal. Despite his energetic, excitable nature, Diddy Kong becomes sad when he loses to a boss in the ''Donkey Kong Country'' games or his opponents in various ''Super Mario'' spin-offs and ''Super Smash Bros.'' games, thus showing that he does not like to face defeat. In the television show, Diddy has a more snarky than go-lucky attitude.

===Relationships===
====Friends====
[[File:DKC-DKDiddy.png|thumb|left|200px|Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong giving each other a high five]]
Donkey Kong is Diddy Kong's best friend and idol. Although they are designed after different species, Diddy Kong has been called a relative of Donkey Kong's in a handful of material mostly in the late 90's. One of the earliest instances appears to be the December 1997 issue of the ''Official UK Nintendo Magazine'', referring to him as Donkey Kong's son.<ref>{{cite|date=December 1997|title=''Official UK Nintendo Magazine'' Issue 63|page=31|quote='''KING KONG!''' Even though Donkey Kong began life at the dawn of videogames, his son, Diddy, has only been around since tea time. He first appeared in Donkey Kong Country, one of the best games to grace the Super NES. His dad, on the other hand, has been swinging about for donkey’s years. He began life in 1981 in the arcade hit, Donkey Kong. Since then he’s been in many a battle with our favourite plumber, notably in Mario Kart and on those little Game & Watch handhelds back in the ‘80s. He even appeared as a breakfast cereal and became a Saturday morning cartoon favourite when the CBS-TV Network in the US brought him to life.|publisher=EMAP|language=en-gb}}</ref> He has also been called Donkey Kong's nephew in 1999, specifically in the English version of ''Super Smash Bros.'',<ref>{{cite|quote=In the past few years, other members of the Kong family have cashed in on DK’s fame as well, including his favorite nephew, Diddy.|author={{iw|smashwiki|List of character profiles#Donkey Kong|Characters}} profile of Donkey Kong|title=''Super Smash Bros.''}}</ref> once on Rare's website,<ref>{{cite|author=Rare|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20010606030858/http://rareware.com/recent/games/dk64/castlist|title=''Donkey Kong 64'' Cast List|language=en-gb|publisher=Rarewhere|accessdate=June 24, 2024|quote=Long-established second half of the big Kong double act, DK's nephew Diddy makes ever-bigger leaps and bounds towards fully-fledged videogame hero status with his part in each successful overthrow of K.

Most subsequent sources drop the notion of Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong being related, but the ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' [[List of Donkey Kong Country Returns image extras names in other languages#Kong Gallery|Kong Gallery]] refers to one image of Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong as a "Family Portrait" in every language except Japanese. According to [[Gregg Mayles]], the Kong characters of ''Donkey Kong Country'' were set to be related to each other, but the notion was left ambiguous after deeming design quirks such as Diddy's tail nonsensical.<ref>{{cite|author=GameXplain|date=November 16, 2019|timestamp=27:06|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=jX3g9Z3JF9k&t=1626s|title=Talking with Rare's Creative Director for DKC's 25th Anniversary!

Cranky Kong considers himself to be a "grandpappy" of sorts to Diddy Kong (as well as Dixie Kong), and while he complains about Diddy Kong receiving a starring role in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' while he was stuck in a gloomy shed, he also calls him a true [[Cranky's Video Game Heroes|video game hero]] and comments that he must take after himself and Donkey Kong. Incidentally, in the episode "[[Ape Foo Young]]" of the ''Donkey Kong Country'' television series, Diddy Kong tries to pass off [[Baby Kong]] as Donkey Kong's nephew, while Cranky Kong states that he does not have one.

Dixie Kong began a relationship with Diddy Kong after the events of ''Donkey Kong Country'',<ref>{{cite|date=November 1996|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) #50|publisher=EMAP|language=en-gb|page=53|quote='''THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!''' Since returning from his first adventure, Diddy has been fending off unwanted women. However, one stuck around and soon became the love of his life. Her name is Dixie, a daredevil babe who’s not afraid to help out her colleague in these times of trouble.}}</ref> and has accompanied her boyfriend on a few adventures and sports outings, including ''Diddy Kong Racing DS'', in which Donkey Kong does not appear. Their romantic relationship is not often touched upon in the games themselves, but is utilized in the ''Donkey Kong Country'' television series. Diddy is shown to be good friends with her sister Tiny Kong in rare interactions, as Diddy freed Tiny in ''Donkey Kong 64'' and Tiny joins his group in ''Diddy Kong Racing DS''.

====Enemies====
Diddy Kong, like the rest of the Kongs, is mortal enemies with the Kremlings. A [[Krusha]] stuffed him in a barrel when he guarded the banana hoard and the Kremlings, in later adventures, kidnap him and his friends. Diddy has an antagonistic relationship with [[King K. Rool]], almost as much as Donkey Kong. Diddy Kong views him as "King K. Fool" once in ''DK: Jungle Climber'' while demanding him to just surrender. In ''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast'', Diddy has a rivalry with [[Kip]].

Diddy Kong also has another archenemy, the evil [[Wizpig]], who he and a group of friends face in a race after takes over Timber's Island.

==Profiles and statistics==
{{see also|List of Diddy Kong profiles and statistics}}
Diddy Kong is usually introduced as Donkey Kong's buddy in his official bios, with Dixie Kong being mentioned occasionally as well. He is typically described as being small and agile, and his stats in most spinoffs accordingly make him a lightweight and/or speed character.
