'''Diddy Kong''' is [[Donkey Kong]]'s buddy, nephew, and companion who has gone on countless adventures with him. Diddy is a creation of the British company, [[Rare Ltd.]]; however, he has a [[Nintendo]] logo on his trademarked red hat, probably because Nintendo owned Rare and the rights to the [[Donkey Kong (series)|''Donkey Kong'' franchise]] at the time.

The name 'Diddy' is a slang word used in some parts of northern England for "small", as Diddy is. Diddy has gone on many adventures by himself occasionally with his girlfriend [[Dixie Kong]], and has even starred in his own racing game for the [[Nintendo 64]] and later for the [[Nintendo DS]]. 

==Concept and Creation==
During the development of ''[[Donkey Kong Country (game)|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 an health bar. Having noted the "Big Mario to small Mario" system used in the ''Super Mario'' games, Rare created Diddy 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 their design was too different, and asked that Rare either include Junior with his original appearance or make the new design an entirely different character. Rare, feeling that the design fit the "updated" Donkey Kong universe that they were aiming to create, had decided to keep their 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 was later changed to "Diddy" due to legal considerations.<ref>[http://www.nowgamer.com/features/895227/the_making_of_donkey_kong_country.html The Making Of Donkey Kong Country - NowGamer] (accessed February 20 2012)</ref>.

==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country'' series===
====''Donkey Kong Country''====
[[File:Diddy.jpg|thumb|left|121px|The original render of Diddy Kong.]]
Diddy Kong first appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', as the co-star of the game with Donkey Kong. Here, he is still Donkey Kong's apprentice and an "in-training video-game star". On one night, Diddy Kong is given the task of guarding Donkey Kong's [[Banana Hoard]]. However, the [[Kremling Krew]] attacks and defeats him, trapping him inside a barrel. After being released, he and Donkey Kong set off across [[Donkey Kong Island]] to save the Banana Hoard and drive off the Kremlings. At the end of their journey, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong reach [[King K. Rool]], the leader of the [[Kremling]]s, and by defeating him, the two win back Donkey Kong's Banana Hoard.

In this game, Donkey and Diddy Kong share the same basic abilities (jumping, running, cartwheeling, etc.). However, Diddy Kong is weaker than Donkey Kong, unable to jump on enemies such as [[Krusha]]s or [[Klump]]s to defeat them, but DK can. Despite this flaw, Diddy is still faster than him and can jump higher than him. Diddy Kong also carries barrels in front of him, allowing him to protect himself from an enemy, but he cannot throw it as far as Donkey Kong.{{br}}

====''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''====
[[File:Diddy4.jpg|thumb|121px|Diddy Kong, as he appears in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''.]]
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'',  Diddy is the main hero. The Kremling Krew kidnaps Donkey Kong and sends him away to their own island, [[Crocodile Isle]]. K. Rool, who is now Kaptain K. Rool, threatens to permanently hold Donkey Kong prisoner unless he is given the Banana Hoard. Diddy refuses to give it up because he and Donkey Kong took plenty of effort recovering it in the previous game. Diddy and his girlfriend, Dixie, venture through Crocodile Isle and rescue Donkey Kong from [[King K. Rool|Kaptain K. Rool]]. Near the end of ''Diddy's Kong Quest'', while Donkey Kong is rescued by Diddy and [[Dixie Kong]], Crocodile Isle sinks into the ocean.

====''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''====
Diddy Kong is captured in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', and [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] must save him. Diddy and Donkey decide to go vacationing in the [[Northern Kremisphere]], planning to return to Donkey Kong Island in a few days time, but the duo never comes back. Dixie, worried about the two Kongs, decides to venture to the Northern Kremisphere to search for them with her baby cousin [[Kiddy Kong]]. After Dixie and Kiddy defeat [[King K. Rool|Baron K. Roolenstein]] they discover that [[KAOS]], K. Rool's stand-in leader for the [[Kremling Krew]], contains Diddy and Donkey. It seems K. Rool has abducted Diddy and Donkey for the purpose of using their brain energy to power KAOS. After being rescued Diddy and Donkey goes back to Donkey Kong Island while Dixie and Kiddy defeat the Kremling Krew.

====''Donkey Kong Country Returns''====
[[File:DiddyKCR.png|thumb|150px|left|Diddy Kong in ''Donkey Kong Country Returns''.]]
Diddy Kong appears in the [[Wii]] game, ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and the [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] remake ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]''. He is the first Kong to notice the Banana Hoard being stolen by animals that are hypnotized by the [[Tiki Tak Tribe]], and attempts to pursue them to retrieve it. However, Diddy fails, and he is presumably shoved into a barrel. In it, he and Donkey Kong go on another quest to reclaim the Banana Hoard, which has been stolen by the Tiki Tak Tribe by hypnotizing the animals on the island. After defeating [[Tiki Tong]], he and Donkey Kong get the Banana Hoard back from the Tiki Tak Tribe. Diddy can also be controlled in this game by a second Wii Remote, and his jetpack can be used.

====''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''====
Diddy Kong appears as one of the playable characters in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. He can be found inside barrels marked with a blue "DD". He retains his ability to use his jetpack to hover as well as the [[Popgun|Peanut Popgun]] from ''Donkey Kong Country Returns''. When using the Kong POW with Diddy, all enemies are turned into red [[Extra Life Balloon]]s.

===="Super Mario in Die Nacht des Grauens"====
In comic "[[Super Mario in Die Nacht des Grauens]]", published in the same magazine, Diddy Kong lives in a [[Nintendo Skyscraper|skyscraper]] in [[Brooklyn]] with many other Nintendo characters. Due to a contract signed by [[Wario]], the skyscraper is invaded by several monsters. One of them, [[Chuckie]], invades the Kongs' room while Diddy and Donkey are watching TV. They are terrified by the evil doll, but they are rescued by Mario, [[Link]] and [[Kirby]].

===="Donkey Kong in: Banana Day 24"====
Diddy makes another appearance in the Club Nintendo comic "[[Donkey Kong in: Banana Day 24]]". The Kongs have to save the world from freezing, since a giant U.F.O, is pulling the [[Earth]] away from the sun. With Donkey, Dixie, Kiddy and Cranky, Diddy enters a space shuttle and flies into space to talk to the aliens. As it turns out, the reason for them pulling away the Earth is that they mistook the planet for a giant [[coconut]]. Diddy finds a solution to this problem by giving [[banana]]s to the aliens, and in return they promise to return the Earth to its original position.

===''Super Mario-Kun''===
Diddy Kong appears in the fourteenth volume of the ''[[Super Mario-Kun]]'' manga comics. Even though a majority of the issue is based on ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', the end of the issue contains ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' content. In the ''Donkey Kong Country'' part of the issue, [[Cranky Kong]] asks Diddy and [[Donkey Kong]] to battle [[King K. Rool]]. He also appears with his girlfriend, [[Dixie Kong]] to battle [[Kaptain K. Rool]] in the ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' part.

===''Donkey Kong Country'' television series===
[[File:CartoonDiddy.jpg|thumb|121px|left|Diddy Kong, as seen on the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (show)|Donkey Kong Country animated series]]''.]]
Diddy Kong is featured as a main character on the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' television series]]. Here he is still Donkey Kong's little buddy who goes on countless adventures with him, but is apparently not his nephew. In most of the episodes, Diddy usually is seen watching over the [[Crystal Coconut]] with his buddy, Donkey Kong. Diddy Kong's physical appearance in the game is very similar to his appearance in ''Donkey Kong Country'', which is a red shirt with Yellow stars on it and a red hat. Diddy is voiced by [[Andrew Sabiston]] during the entire run of the Donkey Kong Country cartoon. Sabiston had previously voiced [[Yoshi]] on the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'' television series]] seven years earlier. Sabiston also voices [[Junior the Giant Klaptrap]], another character from the series.

Rool steals [[Banana Hoard|Donkey Kong's Banana Hoard]] and kidnaps several Kongs, with Diddy being one of them. 

Diddy is eventually freed from captivity in [[Jungle Japes]] by Donkey Kong early on in his journey. From then on Diddy aids Donkey and the other Kongs with shutting down the Blast-o-Matic and getting rid of King K. Rool by collecting red bananas and [[Banana Coin|coins]] and using his abilities gained from Cranky, as well as his [[Guitar Gazump|electric guitar]] from Candy and his [[Peanut Pop Gun|popguns]] from Funky.

{{main|SmashWiki:Diddy Kong}}
Diddy Kong joins the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. He is swift, agile, and very acrobatic, just like he is in the DK series. His [[Final Smash]], Rocketbarrel Barrage, combines two of his special moves, [[Peanut Popgun]] and [[Rocketbarrel Boost]], together.

And although he did not appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', he is mentioned in both games. Diddy Kong was revealed for ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'' on February 21st 2014, the day of the North American/European release of ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''.

For the ''Super Smash Bros. series'', Diddy is given a more realistic monkey voice, instead of the cartoonish voice he is commonly given in ''Mario'' series titles.

====[[Solid Snake]] Codec Conversation====
*'''Snake''': [[Otacon]], there's a chimpanzee here wearing a Nintendo hat.
*'''Otacon''': That's Diddy Kong. He's Donkey Kong's partner. Not only is he lightweight, he can use a wide range of weapons as well. He can fly using those barrel jets on his back, and he can shoot nuts with his Peanut Popgun.
*'''Snake''': Peanuts? As in the ones in the little shells? Are you serious?
*'''Otacon''': Wait, here's the best part. You see them lying on the ground after he shoots? If you pick up some of those peanuts, they'll restore your health a little.
*'''Snake''': Hmm. Edible ammunition, huh... Times sure have changed.

====Role in the [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Story|Subspace Emissary]]====
[[File:SubspaceIntro-DiddyKong.png|200px|thumb|left|'''Diddy Kong''''s snapshot in The Subspace Emissary.]]
In [[the Jungle]], Diddy Kong helps [[Donkey Kong]] recover bananas stolen from the [[Koopa Troop]], only to have [[Bowser]] appear and attempt to use his [[Dark Cannon]] on the [[Kong]]s. Donkey knocks Diddy away to safety before anything happens, however. At [[the Lake]], Diddy encounters [[Rayquaza]], teams up with [[Fox McCloud]] by force, and fights [[False Character|False Bowser]], but they end up fleeing from the real Bowser. As they reach [[the Swamp]], Bowser successfully attacks Diddy, turns into a static trophy and clones him into False Diddy Kong with shadowbugs. After Diddy is revived, he defeats the clone and teams up with [[Falco Lombardi]], again by force.

Upon discovering that Donkey is being taken to the [[Island of the Ancients]], Falco drops Diddy for the little Kong to rescue him. After receiving help from [[Captain Falcon]] and [[Captain Olimar]] to fend off the [[Subspace Army]], all four of them end up at [[the Subspace Bomb Factory]]. Upon meeting [[Samus]] and [[Pikachu]], [[R.O.B.]] reveals himself just before they are forced to evacuate the island as it is sucked into [[Subspace (SSB)|Subspace]].

In Subspace, [[Tabuu]] turns all of the gathered heroes, including Diddy, into trophies. However, Diddy is among the fighters rescued by [[King Dedede]] and his team before they all head into [[the Great Maze]] to defeat Tabuu and save the world, with help from [[Sonic the Hedgehog]].

====Special moves====
=====Peanut Popgun=====
[[File:Brawl Peanut Popgun.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Diddy's '''Peanut Popgun'''.]]
{{main|SmashWiki:Peanut Popgun}}
The '''Peanut Popgun''' appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', as an attack for Diddy Kong. It is Diddy Kong's standard special move, and can be charged up. When charged up, the peanuts fired are much faster and have a better chance at hitting the opponents. However, charging it up too long is dangerous, as it might explode on Diddy Kong. The attack occasionally releases Peanuts, which can be eaten for a slight health restoration. Diddy Kong also uses two Peanut Popguns when using his Final Smash, the Rocketbarrel Barrage. If Diddy Kong's powers are copied by Kirby, Kirby is also able to use Peanut Popgun.

This move is a reference to ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', where Diddy is able to use the Peanut Popguns in that game.
{{br}}

=====Monkey Flip=====
[[File:MonkeyFlip.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Diddy's '''Monkey Flip'''.]]
{{main|SmashWiki:Monkey Flip}}
'''Monkey Flip''' is Diddy Kong's Side Special Move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Diddy Kong leaps forward towards the enemies, latches onto them, and begins attacking. {{button|gcn|B}} can be used to pummel while latched on, and A can be used to push off of them, knocking them away. As this sends Diddy forward, it can be used in addition to his Up-{{button|gcn|B}} recovery since it does not put Diddy into Helpless state afterward. If Diddy presses {{button|gcn|A}} while performing this move, he sticks a foot out and kicks the opponents instead of latching on. However, this kick prevents him from using his Up-{{button|gcn|B}} until the next time he lands. By jumping after latching onto an enemy, he must jump onto their head and push them downward which performs a spike. The Monkey Flip can also set up a 'Diddycide'.
{{br}}

=====Rocketbarrel Boost=====
[[File:Brawl Rocketbarrel Boost.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Diddy's '''Rocketbarrel Boost'''.]]
{{main|SmashWiki:Rocketbarrel Boost}}
The '''Rocketbarrel Boost''' (labeled '''Rocketbarrel Blast''' in the instruction booklet) is Diddy's Up special move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Rocketbarrel Boost allows Diddy to fly with only his Jet Pack. Diddy Kong can charge this attack up, and if it is charged, he is able to fly farther. Tilting {{button|gcn|Stick}} allows Diddy to curve his flight path, allowing him to fly in several different directions. It causes damage to anyone who hits it. However, if Diddy Kong is attacked while flying, he loses his jetpack and falls. The jetpack then flies away and has a chance of hitting another player. The Rocketbarrel Boost is also used during Diddy Kong's [[Final Smash]], Rocketbarrel Barrage. Diddy Kong will be put into a helpless state after he finishes this move.

This move is a reference to ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', where Diddy has access to rocket barrels once he drinks one of Cranky Kong's potions.

=====Banana Peel=====
[[File:Diddy Banana Peel.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Diddy's '''Banana Peel'''.]]
{{main|SmashWiki:Banana Peel (move)}}
'''Banana Peel''' is Diddy Kong's down special move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. In this, he brings a [[Banana|Banana Peel]] out of nowhere, and throws it randomly onto the ground. If opponents trip on the said banana peel, they take a minor amount of damage and are left vulnerable. Although up to two banana peels can be on the ground at once, if there are any more, they disappear. Diddy can use this move, even if he is already holding an item.

=====Rocketbarrel Barrage=====
[[File:Rocketbarrel Barrage.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Diddy's '''Rocketbarrel Barrage'''.]]
{{main|SmashWiki:Rocketbarrel Barrage}}
'''Rocketbarrel Barrage''' is Diddy Kong's [[Final Smash]], in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. It utilizes both the [[Peanut Popgun]] and [[Rocketbarrel Boost]] attacks, from ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', and fuses them to create a very powerful attack. When the [[Smash Ball]] is collected, Diddy Kong gets his Rocketbarrel Boost out and holds two Peanut Popguns. He then continues to fly around the entire stage, with the player being able to control him. Pressing the attack button causes him to shoot explosive [[Peanut]]s at the opponents. When they hit a player or the ground, they explode with a large blast radius, devastating anyone hit. However, any Peanut that does not hit a player opens and reveals a [[Food]] item, which can be eaten to restore health. When time is up, the Rocketbarrel explodes, hurting anyone nearby. It does not hurt Diddy, however. Diddy Kong will be put into a helpless state once the move ends.

This move is a reference to ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', when Diddy Kong is able to use the Rocketbarrel Boost, he was also able to shoot his Peanut Popguns as well.

===''Mario Sports Mix''===
[[File:MSMart5.png|thumb|left|Diddy Kong stealing a basketball from [[Donkey Kong]].]]
Diddy Kong appears in ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]'' as a playable character. He is a speedy character that has a slightly higher technique stat countered with a slightly lower power stat, along with other three speedy characters, [[Bowser Jr.]], [[Toad]] and Cactuar.  His Special Shot has him throwing a banana that acts like a boomerang, attempting to stun any players that try to counter his shot.

In Volleyball, Diddy Kong can give his full power shots an added curve, which is something that is typically seen with the Technical characters.

===''Fortune Street''===
Diddy Kong appears as a playable character in the Wii follow-up to ''Itadaki Street DS'', ''[[Fortune Street]]''. He is a Level D character, alongside [[Birdo]], [[Donkey Kong]], [[Slime (Dragon Quest)|Slime]] and [[Yangus]].

===Canceled 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 [[Rare Ltd.]] moved to Microsoft.

==Characteristics==
===Physical appearance===
[[File:Diddy Kong.png|thumb|Diddy Kong, holding his red hat, with the Nintendo logo on it.]]
Diddy Kong shares several traits to a [[wikipedia:Spider Monkey|Spider Monkey]]. He has versatile feet, and a prehensile tail, which he uses most of the time to hold certain small items or also hang on objects. Diddy Kong's face is somehow similar to [[Donkey Kong]]; however, Diddy has big eyes and a less frowned space between the eyebrows, covered in fur, as opposed to DK's. His ears are a bit big, the same size of his eyes. Diddy's eyes are usually depicted as black, although ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' reveals blue eyes. On the other hand, ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' gives him brown eyes. 

Diddy'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]]''). In ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', an alternate Diddy'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 wears a blue costume. For the recent edition of ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, Diddy has a wider selection of alternate color costumes. In ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'', Diddy 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]] open, Super Diddy Kong appears. Super Diddy Kong has white fur, a white cap, and a blue tank top.

===Powers and Abilities===
[[File:DKC Cartwheel.jpg|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 very quick and nimble to offset Donkey Kong's great strength. As a result, Diddy 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 to attack opponents but also to jump farther in ''Donkey Kong Country''. Diddy 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|Donkey Kong Country 2]]'', Diddy 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.

In some games, Diddy Kong can also use his Jetpack to fly to hard-to-reach areas. However, in ''Donkey Kong 64'', this Jetpack 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 Jetpack, 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 can use his Jetpack in order to carry Donkey Kong over pits. It's revealed in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', that Diddy 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 Jetpack and Peanut Popgun for his final smash. He can also perform [[Wild Move]]s in ''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast''.

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

==Relationships== 
=== Donkey Kong === 
{{main|Donkey Kong}}
'''Donkey Kong''' is Diddy Kong's best friend and idol and the uncle, and the two often hang out, play sports and go on adventures together. Diddy has been called Donkey Kong's nephew on occasion, such as in the original ''Super Smash Bros.'' and ''Donkey Kong 64'', the latter of which also called him a "nephew wannabe"<ref>[http://www.themushroomkingdom.net/kongtroversy.shtml "Kongtroversy", The Mushroom Kingdom] (Retrieved November 9, 2013)</ref>, which is more in-line with the usual story that they are just very close friends. It would not make sense for them to be related since DK is an ape and Diddy is a monkey.

=== Cranky Kong === 
{{main|Cranky Kong}}
'''Cranky Kong''' considers himself to be a "father" of sorts to Diddy as well as Donkey Kong, and while he complains about Diddy 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. 

=== Dixie Kong === 
{{main|Dixie Kong}}
As well as Donkey Kong, Diddy has also been accompanied by his girlfriend Dixie Kong on a few adventures and sports outings, including ''Diddy Kong Racing DS'', in which Donkey Kong did not appear.

''"DK’s partner and buddy. Diddy’s trademark is his red baseball hat. While Donkey Kong boasts incredible power, Diddy’s forte is his nimbleness. Using his prehensile tail to great effect, Diddy Kong is a natural fielder who won’t ever boot routine balls."''
