In the ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic "[[Donkey Kong in: Banana Day 24]]", a huge [[UFO]] begins pulling the [[Earth]] away from the sun, resulting in a sudden drop of temperature all over the planet. This also affects the Kongs' jungle, so Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, and [[Cranky Kong]] set off to carry out negotiations with the aliens. Kiddy Kong joins them on their mission into space. However, he stays in the space shuttle with Cranky Kong, while Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, and Dixie Kong begin discussions with the aliens. Their mission ultimately ends in success, and the aliens leave the planet in peace. At the end of the comic, Donkey Kong is depicted joyfully throwing Kiddy Kong in the air. | In the ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic "[[Donkey Kong in: Banana Day 24]]", a huge [[UFO]] begins pulling the [[Earth]] away from the sun, resulting in a sudden drop of temperature all over the planet.

Kiddy Kong has the typical | [[File:Kiddy Kong DKC3 solo art.jpg|thumb|120px|left|Kiddy Kong standing]] | ||
Kiddy Kong has the typical ape-like attributes associated with every Kong, and his appearance has currently never changed. He is a portly toddler who wears light blue pajamas and sometimes a green pacifier (which he is only shown wearing in his artwork and never in-game). His pajamas are short sleeved with a few yellow, round buttons on them, and his pants go all the way around his feet. Because of Kiddy's short and small legs, his pajamas appear to be a little too big for him. Kiddy's arms, however, appear to be quite long and burly, displaying his strength. Even as a toddler, he is much bigger than his partner, Dixie Kong, in size, and is about the same size as Donkey Kong. However, because he is so large, he is shown to be very heavy, and he can hardly be lifted up by Dixie. | |||
Kiddy Kong's hair appears to be a dark brown color, but it is a little brighter near the top of his head, which forms a point similar to Donkey Kong's hair. His eyes are also brown, and they resemble Dixie and Diddy Kong's large eyes. Kiddy is shown to be a little chubby, as his mouth is much bigger than any other part of his face. While his mouth is very big, he has very small ears and a tiny nose. Kiddy is overall the youngest member of the Kong family, being three years old.<ref | Kiddy Kong's hair appears to be a dark brown color, but it is a little brighter near the top of his head, which forms a point similar to Donkey Kong's hair.

[[File:Kiddy | [[File:Kiddy Kong art 2.png|thumb|Kiddy Kong [[jump]]ing]] | ||
Kiddy Kong's main technique is his rolling ability, where it allows him to defeat many types of enemies, as well as enhance his [[jump]]ing ability. If he rolls off a ledge then jumps, he can make leaps that are much longer than the average jump. Kiddy can also skip across bodies of water by rolling off dry land and jumping just as he hits the surface. In fact, he can do multiple rolling jumps to bounce across the water that get progressively higher with each successive skip. This ability allows Kiddy to traverse long sections of water without having to swim through them. | Kiddy Kong's main technique is his rolling ability, where it allows him to defeat many types of enemies, as well as enhance his [[jump]]ing ability.

As the other Kongs, Kiddy has decent running ability. Although young, he can climb as well as any other member of the Kong Family. | ||
Some abilities of Kiddy Kong are revealed only when he teams up with Dixie. Using his strength, Kiddy can throw Dixie long distances. By tossing Dixie upwards, Kiddy can help her reach areas and objects that are not within their jumping range. When Kiddy is thrown upwards by Dixie, Kiddy falls down, smashing through fragile areas in the ground. This often reveals [[Bonus Barrel]]s and other secrets. Lastly, if Dixie throws Kiddy against a wall, then jumps on her cousin before the toddler stops rolling, she can ride on top of him as if he were a [[Iron Barrel|Steel Barrel]]. | Some abilities of Kiddy Kong are revealed only when he teams up with Dixie.

===Personality=== | ===Personality=== | ||
Kiddy Kong, as his name implies, has a childish personality, being a toddler. For example, when Kiddy is defeated and loses a [[Extra life|life]], he throws a tantrum, crying loudly and slamming his fists down. He is simple and curious like a child; Dixie Kong first finds Kiddy chewing on an old tire, and when the player is not controlling him, he will often pull on his sock. However, he likely does not understand the greater consequences of his actions. For example, if Kiddy and Dixie get a [[Game Over]], the two are imprisoned in a crib with child's toys. While Kiddy is clearly upset over being captured, the arrangement upsets him less than Dixie. Kiddy is also considered to have a personality similar to Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, as he seems to be getting into trouble all the time | Kiddy Kong, as his name implies, has a childish personality, being a toddler.
