| |
| In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', Kiddy is first found by Dixie at [[Funky's Rentals]], where [[Funky Kong]] gives her Kiddy to babysit. Together, the two [[Kong]]s start their adventure searching for the missing [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]]. At the end of their adventure in [[Kastle Kaos]], they discover the new leader of the [[Kremling Krew]], [[KAOS]], is a robot operated by [[King K. Rool|Baron K. Roolenstein]]. In the post-game, [[Wrinkly Kong]] asks both Kongs to find the hidden [[Banana Bird]]s hidden across the Northern Kremisphere to rescue the imprisoned [[Banana Queen]].

|
| In the Game Boy Advance version, Kiddy is unable to compete in the [[Swanky's Dash]] minigame, so only Dixie can participate.
| | '''Kiddy Kong''' is a playable character and the sidekick of [[Dixie Kong]] in the games ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. He is also Dixie Kong's cousin. Additionally, Kiddy Kong is the cousin of Dixie's sister [[Tiny Kong]], and the younger brother of [[Chunky Kong]]. Overall, Kiddy Kong is the youngest member of the [[Kong Family]]. Kiddy Kong's most notable attribute is his incredible strength. Despite his age, he rivals his other cousin [[Donkey Kong]] himself in terms of size and sheer physical power. |
|
| |
|
| ===''Donkey Kong Land III''=== | | ==Biography== |
| In ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong enroll in a contest in searching for the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Land III)|Lost World]], and Dixie is left behind to babysit Kiddy Kong. She decides to participate in the contest and takes Kiddy along with her. The Kongs find out that Baron K. Roolenstein and the Kremling Krew are also searching for the Lost World. After defeating Baron K. Roolenstein, Dixie and Kiddy prove themselves heroic. It can be assumed that they won the Lost World contest.

| ===''Club Nintendo'' - "Donkey Kong in: Banana Day 24"===
| | Months after the Kong Family's victory against [[Kaptain K. Rool]] and his [[Kremling Krew]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', Kiddy Kong visited [[Funky Kong]] at [[Funky's Rentals|his shop]] in the [[Northern Kremisphere]]. The young toddler spent his time playing with the various unusual items he could find in Funky's Rentals. Of course playing for Kiddy Kong involved activities such as chewing on old spare tires. In fact, as Kiddy was gnawing on a tire, [[Dixie Kong]] happened upon Funky's Rentals. His cousin was looking for Donkey and [[Diddy Kong]], who had gone exploring the [[DK Isles]] but had not returned home for two days. Funky told Dixie that the only visitor he had all week was Kiddy. Knowing that the toddler's strength could come in handy in her search, Funky asked if Dixie wanted to take Kiddy along with her. Dixie agreed, and together they journeyed through the Northern Kremisphere on the hunt for Donkey and Diddy Kong. |
| 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.

| ===''Uho'uho Daishizen Gag: Donkey Kong''===
| | While on their journey, Dixie and Kiddy Kong noticed an unusual amount of [[Kremling]] activity in the Northern Kremisphere, inferring that the Kremling Krew may have been responsible for the disappearance of Donkey and Diddy Kong. During their exploration of the Kremling factories on [[Mekanos]], the [[Kong]]s were confronted by the robotic entity known as [[KAOS]]. The robot vowed to destroy the Kongs, as he was apparently the new [[Master]] of the Kremling Krew. Although the robot put up a tough fight, Kiddy's strength combined with Dixie's agility eventually overwhelmed KAOS. The robot retreated, and the Kongs continued their search for Donkey and Diddy. Ultimately, Kiddy and Dixie Kong tracked [[KAOS]] to [[Kastle KAOS|his castle]] in [[KAOS Kore]]. After besting the robot in another fight, the Kongs discovered King K. Rool, in his Baron K. Roolenstein alias, controlling KAOS from behind the scenes. The de facto Kremling Master engaged the Kongs in battle. Although Roolenstein used a number of advanced weapons against the Kongs, Dixie and Kiddy Kong eventually emerged victorious. In the end, Donkey and Diddy Kong were revealed to be inside of KAOS during the entire adventure. They essentially served as the batteries that powered the powerful robot. With Donkey and Diddy Kong rescued, and K. Rool defeated, Dixie and Kiddy Kong emerged as heroes. |
| [[File:Donkey Kong volume 1 chapter 7.jpg|thumb|x280px|The cover page of the chapter starring Kiddy]] | |
| Kiddy appears in one chapter of the ''[[Uho'uho Daishizen Gag: Donkey Kong]]'' manga, in a semi-adaptation of the "[[Baby Kong Blues]]" episode, replacing the [[Baby Kong|titular character]].

| |
|
| [[Funky Kong]] is taking care of his little cousin Kiddy when work calls and he asks DK to watch him in the meantime. DK can hardly deal with Kiddy's strength and, on his way to greet Candy, loses the baby and goes on a wild-goose chase in order to save him from the dangers like the [[Bluster Barrelworks|Barrelworks]]' conveyor belts, the factory's [[Rocket Barrel]], a lake full of giant [[Bitesize]]s, and a waterfall. Similar to the show, Kiddy comes undamaged from all of these situations, unlike DK who is worn out by the time Funky returns to take his baby cousin back. | | However, their adventure was far from over. Kiddy and Dixie Kong were also charged by [[Wrinkly Kong]] with finding the [[Banana Bird]]s hidden across the continent. After defeating Baron K. Roolenstein again in the hidden world of [[Krematoa]], collecting all the [[DK Coin]]s of the Northern Kremisphere, and acquiring the [[Gyrocopter]] from Funky Kong, Dixie and Kiddy Kong were able to find all the Banana Birds. After traveling to [[Wrinkly's Save Cave]], the birds brought the Kongs before the [[Banana Bird Queen]], who had been imprisoned by Baron K. Roolenstein. With all the birds united, the queen was able to free herself from her enchanted prison. Ultimately, the Banana Bird Queen was successful in driving Roolenstein out of the Northern Kremisphere. As Baron K. Roolenstein attempted to escape the continent in a [[hovercraft]], the Banana Bird Queen launched a giant egg at the Kremling leader. Kiddy and Dixie Kong rode on the top of this egg to its inevitable target. The egg crashed directly into K. Rool, trapping the Kremling leader inside, while Kiddy and Dixie Kong joyfully sat on top of the Kremling's new prison. Order had been restored to the Northern Kremisphere, and Baron K. Roolenstein had finally got his just desserts. At least for the time being. |
|
| |
|
| Unlike Baby Kong, Kiddy has no misadventures with the Kremlings.
| | Soon after the events of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', Kiddy Kong went on another adventure through the Northern Kremisphere. During the events of ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', Kiddy Kong joined Dixie Kong in her quest to find the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Land III)|Lost World]]. A contest to find the Lost World was being held in the Northern Kremisphere, and the one who found the hidden land first would be rewarded with great treasures. As usual, Donkey and Diddy Kong left in search of the Lost World without asking Dixie to join them. To show the heroes that she was just as adventurous as they were, she took Kiddy Kong under her wing again. Dixie Kong was out to prove the she and Kiddy Kong could best Donkey and Diddy Kong as the superior adventurers. Unfortunately, Baron K. Roolenstein, now restored to power in the Kremling Krew, was also looking for the Lost World. After traveling through many lands, Kiddy and Dixie Kong ultimately discovered the Lost World and confronted Roolenstein in combat. Of course, they once again bested the Kremling leader. In the end, Dixie and Kiddy Kong proved they were every bit as heroic as Donkey and Diddy Kong. Not only did they discover the Lost World before the duo, they also managed to defeat the Kremling Krew on their own a second time. |

| In ''[[Donkey Konga 2]]'', Kiddy is mentioned in one of [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]]'s notes. In it, Dixie states that he played the [[bongo]]s for the first time and understood the principle of hitting both sides at the same time immediately. Due to a translation oversight, Kiddy is referred to as '''Dinky''', his Japanese name.
| | During the events of the [[Club Nintendo]] comic "[[Donkey Kong in: Banana Day 24]]", a huge [[UFO]] is pulling the [[Earth]] away from the [[sun]], resulting in a sudden drop of temperature all over the planet. This also concerns the Kongs' jungle, so Donkey, Diddy, Dixie and [[Cranky Kong|Cranky]] set off to carry on negotiations with the [[alien]]s, and Kiddy joins them on their mission into space. He stays in the space shuttle together with Cranky though, while Donkey, Diddy and Dixie are talking to the aliens. Their mission succeeds, and in the end Donkey is seen throwing Kiddy in the air for joy. |

| | Kiddy Kong has the typical ape-like attributes associated with every Kong. He is a portly toddler who wears light blue pajamas and a green pacifier around his neck. Although very young, he has a muscular build, and as a result is very heavy. His hair is brown, as are his eyes. Even though he is a toddler, he is much bigger than his older cousin Dixie Kong, and is almost the same size as Donkey Kong. |

| Kiddy Kong was intended to appear in the unreleased [[Nintendo GameCube]] game ''[[Donkey Kong Racing]]''. He can be seen riding [[Ellie the Elephant]] at the end of the trailer. | | Kiddy Kong's trademark technique is his amazing rolling ability. Rolling allows Kiddy 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 make multiple rolling jumps 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 enemy-invested territory, not that Kiddy Kong couldn't maneuver through such an obstacle. Although he is very heavy, Kiddy won't sink in water – he is in fact quite an adept swimmer. |
|
| |
|
| ==General information==
| | Like many other heroes in the [[Mushroom World|world]], Kiddy Kong is a great jumper. He can use his jumping abilities to reach new heights or [[stomp]] enemies from above. Additionally, Kiddy Kong holds [[barrel]]s and other objects in front of his body, using such objects as shields when he runs into enemies. Given his strength, he can pick up objects and certain incapacitated enemies and throw them with ease. On a side note, Kiddy Kong likes to throw objects underhand. Like the other Kong heroes, Kiddy has decent running ability. Although young, Kiddy Kong can climb as well as any other member of the Kong Family. |
| ===Physical description===
| |
| Kiddy Kong has the typical apelike 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 name="cast">{{cite|publisher=Rare|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/19980705012613/http://www.rare.co.uk/recent/games/dkc/castlist/cast_kiddy.html|title=Rarewhere: DKC Trilogy Cast List|accessdate=September 12, 2016}}</ref> | | Some abilities of Kiddy Kong are only revealed when he teams up with his cousin Dixie. Using his considerable strength, Kiddy can throw Dixie incredible distances. By tossing Dixie Kong upwards, Kiddy can help her reach areas and objects that are not within either's jumping range. Dixie Kong can also pick up and throw her heavy cousin. When thrown upwards, Kiddy Kong will come crashing down, smashing through fragile areas in the ground. This often reveals [[Bonus Barrel]]s and other secrets. Lastly, if Dixie Kong 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 [[Steel Barrel]]. |

| [[File:Kiddy holding barrel DKC3 artwork.jpg|thumb|left|x180px|Kiddy's strength allows him to carry a barrel overhead]]
| |
| 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.

|
| |
|
| Given his strength, he can pick up objects and certain stunned enemies and throw them with ease. As the other Kongs, Kiddy has decent running ability. Although young, he can climb as well as any other member of the Kong family.
| | Kiddy Kong, as his name implies, has a childish personality. At times he can act like a "crybaby". For example, when Kiddy loses an [[extra life]], he will throw a fit, cry and slam his fists on the ground (however, it should be noted that Dixie Kong also cries when she loses an extra life, although she does not throw a tantrum like Kiddy does). He is simple and curious like a child – Dixie first found Kiddy chewing on an old tire. Kiddy is also adventurous and courageous, braving the obstacles set up by the Kremling Krew. He seems caring as well, seeing that he is willing to lend his cousin Dixie a helping hand in her quest to save Donkey and Diddy Kong. However, the toddler likely does not understand the greater consequences of his actions. For example, if Kiddy and Dixie Kong get a [[game over]], the two will be imprisoned in a crib with child's toys. While Dixie is clearly upset over being captured, the arrangement suits Kiddy Kong just fine. Kiddy Kong is also considered to have a personality similar to Donkey and Diddy Kong, as he seems to be getting into trouble all the time. Ultimately, Kiddy Kong is a toddler, so he has the mannerisms of a typical toddler. |

| ===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. As mentioned in ''Donkey Konga 2'', Kiddy received a liking for playing the bongos when he learned how to play them.

| Many of the Kongs find it alarming that Kiddy has reached such a size at the tender age of three, and the fact that he seems to be curious and mischievous in proportion to his growth doesn't make things any easier for those who get themselves involved in babysitting. It was Dixie who found herself lumbered with this little cousin on her most recent escapade, during which Kiddy proved that the traditional Kong adventuring abilities (not to mention sheer brute strength) still run in the family. He's as wary of Kremlings as you'd expect for a kid of his age, but once he gets frustrated it's the Krems who'd better watch out...<ref name="cast"/>
