Diddy Kong (ディディーコング, Dīdī Kongu) is a main character from the Donkey Kong series who debuted in Donkey Kong Country for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. He has starred a few titles, such as Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest, also for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Diddy Kong Racing for the Nintendo 64, and Diddy Kong Racing DS for the Nintendo DS.

[edit] Character description

Diddy Kong is Donkey Kong's friend (nephew) and, is the main character in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, and Diddy Kong Racing. He has a girlfriend named Dixie Kong.

In Donkey Kong Country, Donkey Kong hires Diddy to guard his banana horde from people who might want to steal it, over hearing this, King K. Rool sent an attack on Diddy, he was then put in a barrel and tossed into the bushes. Donkey Kong soon finds frees and him, and the two set out on an adventure to get the bananas back. In the game, Diddy Kong was used either for two player mode, or as a sort of level continue. As long as either Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong were alive, a life was not lost. The missing teammate could then be retrieved by breaking open a barrel with the letters DK on it, similar to the one Diddy was initially trapped in.

Since his debut he has appeared in many games, ranging from those in the Donkey Kong universe, like Donkey Kong Barrel Blast, to those in the expanded Mario universe, such as Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and Mario Strikers Charged.

Diddy Kong is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, available to play as from the beginning. He uses many unique special attacks, such as his Rocketbarrel Boost, and Peanut Popgun attacks, both of which are used in his Final Smash, the Rocketbarrel Barrage. His small size and lack of power, combined with the use of weaponry offer a completely different fighting style than Donkey Kong, despite their alleged familial relation.
