A Cartwheel Attack[1][2] (or cartwheel)[3][4] is Diddy Kong's standard means of attack in the Donkey Kong Country series, serving as his equivalent to Donkey Kong's Roll Attack. The maneuver is first utilized in Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong Land. Diddy can defeat most enemies by cartwheeling into them. If Diddy uses it on a row of enemies, the attack may take out the entire row. A cartwheel is ineffective against bulky enemies (such as Krushas), spiked enemies (such as Zingers), or bosses. If Diddy cartwheels off a ledge, he can perform an extended jump in midair. The cartwheel jump must usually be performed to reach areas, such as moving between treetops of Jungle Hijinxs.
Diddy's Cartwheel Attack returns in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2, with an unchanged role from its previous appearances. In Donkey Kong 64, the cartwheel returns as one of Diddy's basic moves.
Diddy can also perform his Cartwheel Attack in Donkey Kong Country Returns, its Nintendo 3DS version, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, and its Nintendo Switch port. A Cartwheel Attack can be performed by shaking the Wii Remote when the player uses Diddy independently, which is doable only in multiplayer or on Hard Mode.
In the Super Smash Bros. series, since debuting as a fighter in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Diddy performs a Cartwheel Attack as his dash and neutral aerial attacks.
