'''Diddy Kong''' is the deuteragonist of the ''[[Donkey Kong (franchise)|Donkey Kong]]'' franchise and [[Donkey Kong]]'s best friend and sidekick. He is a creation of the British company [[Rare Ltd.]], which produced many successful ''Donkey Kong'' games that Diddy Kong either starred or co-starred in. However, after Rare lost its rights to the Donkey Kong franchise due to [[Nintendo]] selling its shares to {{wp|Microsoft}}, Nintendo kept the rights to all ''Donkey Kong'' characters, including Diddy Kong. He became a regular character in spin-off ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' titles since ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'' ([[List of games by date#2003|2003]]), effectively taking [[Donkey Kong Jr.]]'s former role. Diddy Kong sports a red shirt with yellow stars and a red hat with the Nintendo logo, and, unusually for [[Kong]]s, has a tail. "[[wiktionary:diddy|Diddy]]" is a slang word in some parts of northern England for "small," as Diddy Kong is. Diddy Kong occasionally pairs up with his girlfriend, [[Dixie Kong]], who has a similar personality to him. He has even starred in his own racing game, ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' ([[List of games by date#1997|1997]]) for the [[Nintendo 64]] and later in its [[Reissue|remake]], ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]'' ([[List of games by date#2007|2007]]) for the [[Nintendo DS]]. | '''Diddy Kong''' is the deuteragonist of the ''[[Donkey Kong (franchise)|Donkey Kong]]'' franchise and [[Donkey Kong]]'s best friend and sidekick.

Diddy has a smaller role in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' In the backstory, Donkey and Diddy go on a fishing trip to the [[Northern Kremisphere]]. The Kongs did not return from their fishing trip, so Dixie and [[Kiddy Kong]] go on an adventure to save them. In [[Kastle Kaos]], after Dixie and Kiddy defeat [[King K. Rool|Baron K. Roolenstein]], it is revealed that Donkey and Diddy were contained within [[KAOS]], who they were freed from, presumably having their brain energy used as a power source. | Diddy has a smaller role in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' In the backstory, Donkey and Diddy go on a fishing trip to the [[Northern Kremisphere]].
