Diddy in the midst of a Cartwheel.

Cartwheel is the name of Diddy Kong's frontal attack and it is, as the name would imply a cartwheel.

The move is first utilized in Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong Land. The attack lets Diddy take an enemy by cartwheeling into them, if used on a row of enemies the attack may take the entire row out. A cartwheel is ineffective against bulky enemies (such as Krushas), spiked enemies such as Zingers or bosses. Also if Diddy cartwheels off a ledge he will be able to jump in midair, thus extending his jumping radius.

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 this game.

Diddy can also use his cartwheel in Donkey Kong 64.
